Playing tonight for Wakefield. Should be a good indicator for us to evaluate him for next year.

He was really putting himself around in the early parts of the game.

Considering that he has undergone a series of ops and rehab through the close season and this, he did well. Short of match fitness obviously but encouraging for me.

Short of match time and fitness, and still looked better than Cox

It was odd watching him play for Wakefield. He gave away a few penalties but most were fatigue type give aways. He did well and he was still the first forward back on side for the first PTB after a kick return. He still has all the effort. Just looked a bit short on muscle mass and strength. A couple of years ago he was our best defender as when anybody went near him he completely out muscled them and the often took an eternity to play the ball.
Good to see him back on the pitch. Might sound like madness but I have not given up on him and Grix pulling on the p&b again.

I saw him briefly on the Superleague Show, on Monday night. So he has played two games, & maybe another game next week in Wakefield`s last game.

Mitch Dodds has still yet to play his comeback game for us, & it would be a major risk to play him in a semi final, as his first game.....Maybe Hull away, if we clinch the LLS tonight?

I am unsure of Harrison`s loan terms, but would he be available to play in our play-off semi final, & possible Grand Final game?

Has anyone said that Mitch Dodds is ready to play?

presumably Ben is free to return and play for us after Wakefield complete their last fixture unless there is a salary cap restriction.

I am a big fan of Harrison, he is a great defender and provides size and strength in the middle six. I suspect though he won't be here next year which I think is a mistake.

Problem is there isn't room for him in our back row. A good workhorse and a great servant to the club but with the new direction our pack seems to be going in I think it might be time to thank him for his efforts and say goodbye.

I tend to agree. Not sure we need him except cover for injury.

We don't need a backrower, but despite wearing 13 on his back, Harrison primarily played a prop role for us.

If we lost Bailey, we would suddenly look a bit lightweight on the bench. Harrison returning could be an option?

I think he would still do a job for us at prop if he proves his fitness. Top player.

Hill, Sims, Dodds, Cooper, Westwood.

The bench looks pretty heavy to me.

Was thinking more for this year - not sure on the terms of his loan arrangement.

If we lost Bailey for the rest of the season (say) we are left with a bench of King, Wilde & Philbin/Cox, presuming Dodds is done for the year.

Suppose we would have to think about cap space aswel. if Dodds has another year, Harrison may need to make way. However, if Dodds goes home, surely Harrison would be on less that him, and may fit in for next year. As i said earlier, if he proves his fitness....

The club may be viewing Bennie through a slightly different lens - his injuries. I think he had no less than four operations over the close season and the club may be wondering how reliable he might be in future years. Just a thought.

There sees to be a view on here that we will have Dodds next season, is there any evidence for this?

None, I've been asking this question every time his name gets mentioned, wish someone would tell us.

I was gonna post about him on here, he went really well defended like a maniac, kept offloading and did well for only his 2nd or 3rd game back. Really excited to see back next year. Not sure why people think he won't be with us next year, Ben evans is proberly going elsewhere, Jordan Cox might not be and theres a good chance Dodds won't be here. It would be stupid to get rid off him as he's a quality player who's sorted out injuries he's been carrying for years. He's fresh from having a year off and was one of the best forwards for wakefield, can't wait to have him back.

As I understand it it's one of Dodds or Harrison staying.

I am not convinced at all that Dodds will stay. He didn't really want to come in the first place and allegedly offered to stay with his previous club on significantly lower wages. I think his plan was to use the offer of a year at Warrington to get his fitness sorted put is a good year and earn a contract back in Aus. Clearly his injury ravaged season was not part of the plan and for both him and us that has been a shame as he is clearly a good player as not many mugs play in an NRL Grand Final attending team. And let's face it Hilly is in desperate need of some help

and so I hope Harrison stays was the last part of my outburst which mysteriously was missed off

Dodds has hardly played enough minutes this year to be retained.

You would keep Harrison over him every time, he is a proven performer.

I believe Dodd's knee is a mess and will not be here next year. Sad for the lad but he and we need to move on. It would be good to get Benny Harrison back, fit and eager. Was impressed with him playing for Wakefield, aggressive, intelligent and something we are lacking at the moment. If we could get him back for the semis it would be a useful addition to the squad and a great boost for him after the year he has had.
