Quote: Saddened! "That's most likely because Wire and Leeds haven't had many players good enough. Ellis went but Peacock is the only Leeds player the NRL would have wanted and he was already past his best when the NRL woke up to SL players as a concept. I can't think of any Wire players before Hill and Clarke that would have interested the NRL. I think if Harrison kicks on he'll be a cert for interest as well.'"
Ryan Hall and the younger less injury ravaged Danny McGuire were easily good enough for the NRL. McGuire in 2004 was sensational (as good a performance by any player in SL era) and I reckon he'd have been snapped up if the NRL were as quick to buy our players ten years ago as they are now.
I'm glad a fan of another club sees how good Harrison is. I believe he's not that far behind Hill. An exceptional talent, but an injury prone player and when he's out of the team he's somehow forgotten about by the rest of rugby league and on his returns he's not spoken of with the hype that other players may get. When Ben Harrison is at his best the Wire pack is at its best. It's just how many injuries he gets that is a worry.
Do you not think Ben Westwood in his prime would have been a good NRL player? I certainly do.
