Hampton is more a 7 than a 6. A halfback all the way through the junior ranks. The first time I saw him play was as an 18 year old against our U20s. Our guys played an almost perfect game and won comfortably but he looked a class above as a prospect. He was a little general with his talk, an excellent kicking game and great speed.
The organizational skills haven't translated into first grade yet but he's only about a dozen games in. Hopefully that will come. They might if he's given his own team so to speak - rather than playing second.fiddle to Cronk. Its done wonders for Ben Hunt.
Brown doesn't look like a seven to me. Super talent - great left foot step/jink, good palm, great pass, left foot kick, big, tough, quick, super attitude. But doesn't seem like a guy who wants the ball in his hands four or five times a set or someone who will drive the team around. So yeah, he's very left-sided and more a 6 than a 7 IMO... and probably better suited to hooker or even centre than either.
They could be an excellent combination though. Well done Sharks.

well there is a official thread on him
Anyone know if we've looked at Henare Wells? The elder brother of Dallas who is in our U20s?
He went tryless last weekend but scored 13 tries over the previous four games for Burleigh at fullback. He's super quick and quite tall.
He was really rated as a junior but never made a huge impact for the Roosters - had some injury trouble I think and perhaps couldn't keep on the kind of size needed for first grade. But I suspect he's just a late bloomer.

I would do terrible terrible things to get Austin to the Sharks.
One of my favourite players in the game.
Not sure he handle defending in centres but would make a handy winger.

That would be an insane spine.
I hear he will end up at Canberra or Doggies both watching him closely. Not much I can do about recruitment, ive always liked wells as a player but has a massive ego.Not sure he handle defending in centres but would make a handy winger.

Agree with this he will go to hooker eventually but can cover the 6 with a dominate half back - Hampton can be this

How's our forward depth for next year?
We doin a lot of backs and halves combos here but all these injuries and a few unsigned old boys what's your opinions on the state of our pack depth next year.

Depending on who we re-sign but our depth is fine this year, injuries have just been insanely cruel.

All of the above are capable first graders. All below can do a good job as a fill in.

The problem is we have had too many of our star forwards out leaving role players to try and do it all.
