Chad Townsend from Cronulla is off contract at the end of the year. I reckon he would be a great fit in the #6 jersey and is a very underrated player and a good goal kicker as well.

WHY THE HELL do people keep throwing up needle jabbers & rejects from 'other teams' & claiming they should be our new 6 in 2014.

The best and cheapest option is playing for our feeder team atm. The names Ben Hampton :)

Spot on.
I watched the Sharks game on the weekend and didn't find anything overly spectacular with Chad. Finchy runs the show in that team

No disrespect mattystorm but I didn't think that many peeps round here had actually ever "ruled him in".

The overwhelming consensus of some pretty knowledgeable peeps on this Board is that McGahan and Hampton are the real deal for Storm's halves future

Luke Kelly back to Storm? Looks like the Eels might let him go.

He's been told his services are no longer required there next season, along with about 11 others apparently.

If he can't make it in the Eels lineup I'm not too sure what chance he has at making it ours..specially after he failed to win over Bellamy the first time.

Hampton is our man :D

To be fair though blaz Norrie, Lowe, Fa'aoso and Waqa couldn't get a game at their previous clubs and are premiership winners. We all know it's Bellyache's specialty and is the best in the business turning discards from other clubs into solid first graders. That said i agree that we should look within our current squad and Hampton is definitely right up there.
