Listening on radio, they said Harrison has gone off injured and not come back on.
Hope he is ok.

didnt actually notice he didnt come back on. anyone know the news on Riles ?

Great young player who stands a good chance of making the England team at the seasons end.

Ironically, Tony Smith being his coach may work against him.

I hope his injury isn't too bad and that he's ready to play in your next game.

That off load out theback door to Briers was outstanding. Hopefully just a dead leg.

He's already made the Irish squad.

Aah Sorry

I should have know too!

Anyone heard how Harrison is, really hope he's okay for Friday . Ding Dong bring it on..He's been outstanding

he hasn't been that good really. he's just stood out when the other players haven't been performing. still think he doesn't offer us that much to the team.

Well. You are wrong. I don't like the word idiot, but you are testing me.

Trickster you are such a silly sausage!! Ben Harrison's clearly been one of our standout performers this season. Tony seems to have taken him under his wing aswell, so expect to see some more blockbusting carries and hits in the near future.

i'm a fan of harrisons myself. but i just dont think he's been as good as everyone has been making out. think he still has a long way to go, but under the coaching of smith i think he could become a valuable player. seems to be carying to much weight atm!

Been our most consistent and stand out player of the season.

your talking out of it......

absalout garbage, played out of his skin this season, his tackle count is immence and yardage

Great offensive player but needs to improve his tackling as the stats will tell you he misses 1 in 10.

Reminds me of a younger Benny Westwood in his pomp, the guy is a beast.

Hmm I dont agree with your overall assessment but he does seem to be carrying a bit of puppy fat.
No he's not the complete player but then again other than Burgess, who is at that age, he's certainly ahead of a lot of them

He probably makes on average 10 more tackles than everyone else so i'll let him off.

What's he like in comparison with Morley?

To be fair, Ben is 21. He's a prop. He needs to be a big guy to fly down the middle and do some serious damage. What was it someone said? A prop doesn't hit form until they are 25 or so, meaning he has 4 years to become "on form", his stats may show he misses 1 in 10 tackles, but those other 9 are some seriously big hits.

He hasn't missed a game all season, the only player to play in every game so far. Smith obviously likes his performances, otherwise he wouldn't be playing every game from start.

And I heard on BBC that he has done a muscle in his groin, should be ok though he looked fine when he was walking around the pitch!

Morley's missed tackle rate is about the same. Morleys metres are 70% more with 35% more carries than BH despite playing 4 less games. BH edges the tackles made and marker tackles.

He is a very promising young player and will develop, but he is not the real deal just yet.

Harrison is an absolute star of the future and already a terrific player, a must on the teamsheet week-in week-out.

Other teams/pundits are starting to notice him properly this season for the ferocity of his hits and his commitment on the field. His barnstorming run on the back of Monas' break was a taste of his future as a tough but skilful prop forward.

What are both of their takle stats?

BH 571 from 23
AM 419 from 19 (507 adjusted for 23 games on current rate)

Agreed, the development in his game under Smith is quite unbelievable. He's gone from fringe player to nailed on starter in three months.

His game is developing so quickly, he tackles anything that moves, sometimes connecting with some of the biggest shots I've seen. He makes better decisions now, takes more mature options like that break from the Monas pass, didn't look for support, just went and made as many yards as he could. His skill levels are improving, there was a flick pass on Saturday to Briers, insane. If Solomona had done it, spunk everywhere.

He can be as good as he wants to be, he's already a very good SL player. He'd run close for my SL Young Player Of The Year.

It's a difficult one for me this.
Id love to know what TS sees in him (not us punters).
Obviously as has been said before TS has taken a shine to him and is giving him a chance - and he's played in all pack positions except hooker. (I suspect TS isn't exactly sure of his best position - nor ben himself)

To me he's got a good work rate and shows some good handling, but nothing 'out of this world' like some seem to think.

If you look at Steve P - now he's seen as a liability for giving penalties away but I think he's far more agressive in the tackle and going forward, yet he is on loan at Widnes (Ok his injuries may be an issue).

I am genuinely interested to understand why one appears to have a bright future and the other doesn't
