Ben Hampton needs to go

Does this guy have nude pics of bellyache or something? He has been absolutely woeful again tonight, and is not 1st grade material. I'm glad they made the move to bring in Blake Green next year because this guy should not be re-signed.

By the time Blake gets here Hampton will be the best five eight since Scott Hill.

He's absolutely useful. You'd have to think he has something over Bellyache.
Roberts on the other hand, nearly everything he's done for us this year has been quality.

Agree Ben Roberts has been great, and a 6/7 of Roberts/Cronk needs to be used for the business end of the year.

I have long defended Fonua... but he can p*ss right off and never play a Storm game again as far as I am concerned. Rubbish tackler. Utterly rubbish.

That field-goal attempt from Hampton was the finishing touch on a dreadful performance from Hampton.

Hey, it got us a repeat set didn't it? I'm sure he meant to do that!

My favourite hampton moments are when he seems to be playing his own little game of pick the fullback out with a chip kick, 62 metres across and he hit zillman on the chest all night afew times even when the wingers were not back, that back up try doesnt save his performance I could have scored that!!

I think it is absolutely fair to criticize certain parts of his game. His execution and decision making is patchy at best atm, and he's playing too passively right now. The calls for him to be dropped and calling out everything he does wrong is ridiculous though. I've never seen so much negativity around a young player ever before from any fan base I'm apart of.
I have no idea whether or not he's apart of the teams future. But I sure would like to give him a fair opportunity to be.

Reminds me of Widdop. Give him time he will be good, even though i think his best position is full back.

Well he's not going to get much more time - we've signed Blake Green and haven't been proactive in re-signing Hampton for a reason.
