Luke Kelly missed out on Storm five eighth at start of 2011 because of injury. Gaz performed reasonably well there and Luke never got the chance to have a sustained go at the spot.

Luke never looked great in the couple of games he played for us, and he's too small to be a genuine 5/8 I reckon.
Hampton looks a lot better from footage I've seen, even though he is still untested at first grade level.

You're probably right. Of the limited footage I've seen Hampton appears to be a more robust and solid built bloke who will get stronger with more age, food and weights.
Whereas Kelly is a very slight frame like Widdop, who'll always struggle to increase any real muscle mass.
Just my opinion
