Not sure about Hampton. Sally reported he was running few weeks ago, so he should have been just about ready unless the he developed soreness in the leg.

Then again, todays game wasnt sudden death so why risk him if he was. Matt Russell said he wouldnt be back this year but they may have been fed to him by the CS

Some stats from the game

Slade Griffen - 179m (15) / 36tackles / 1line break
Tohu Harris - 144m (15) / 33 tackles / 1lb / 1try-assist / 1 try
Mahe Fonua - 165m (19) / 2 try-assists / 1try / 1line-break
Denny Solomona - 204m (19) / 1try-assist
Kris Freeman - 119m (13) / 33 tackles

* Young Tonumaipea just continues to impress, will win the most improved award at the POTY awards night.
* Solomona needs to work on his passing if he wants to stay at FB.
* Mahe made 15 tackles but missed 5.
* McG had 437 gained meters in kicking.
* Want to see Wiliame go back to center, with Kirosome or Leiataua to the bench. Much better defensively then Avuaa, who was getting caught out with lack of real pace.
* I stab myself in the eye if we have a winger on the bench again.

He did, made some decent meters.

Still short of a run though.

just re-watched the game - he took a hard tackle in the first half & limped for a bit after that then seemed to come right. They may be being cautious
