Agree, Hampton again was mediocre, time to go to NSW cup for afew weeks, also maybe start Harris for either Hoffman or Hinchy, i'd love to see Moors grab a bench spot aswell.

Yep agreed. With the little Hampton gets the ball he should obviously be dropped. Can't have him just standing there doing nothing when we could have a known shit player with experience just do the same thing. Roberts will be our saviour. All hail Ben Roberts.

In all seriousness though. Hampton literally has no role on the field atm and replacing him with Roberts or whoever will change nothing IMO. Hampton did look a little more threatening yesterday with his running game but slipped over a few time (seriously needs some longer studs), and then got collared when he was 90% through a hole. He's still learning and putting his body on the line every minute of the game. Those are good traits and sticking with him will only prove to be a good thing in the long run.

There are other players I'd drop well before I drop Hampton.

Cody Walker and George Rose have been named in the QLD cup side. So Walker has not been released yet, poor Rabbits, Rose I do not understand.
