Quote ="fes"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'"
right, well i'd disagree slightly with what you've said about TS playing binge all over the place, since smith took over ben has pretty much been a fixture at looseforward performing in a specific role,occasionally helping out at prop when we've been short in matches.
Pickers it was said was sent out to widnes to get himself back in shape, it was stated that he his rehab from his knee injury last year hadn't been done correctly so he still wasn't fully fit and up to SL fitness, so he'd been concentrating on re-rehabbing if you will, and playing at a lower level.
I know ppl see picks as a penalty machine, but theres nowt to say if he got a run in the wolves first team he couldn't potentially shape up something like harrison.
