Ben Hampton

Following his Four Nations campaign with the Kangaroos, Thurston returned to Cowboys training last week where he met new recruits such as Hampton and former Bronco Carlin Anderson before getting down to work.

The two players attracted the attention of the NRL match review committee from the Round 15 Dragons-Storm clash on Saturday night.

The Storm duo were charged for a 34th minute challenge on Dragons centre Euan Aitken, but a previous good record means the pair can escape suspension with an early guilty plea.
