Oh Ben has improved (effort, defence, conversions) but if he wants to be a SL half he needs to learn a bit quicker ball in hand etc.

Brierley always looks lively I will give him that and he can pass a ball. But he's too slight to take the line on, does same move ball in hand (up to the line then usually a short pass).

Showed in SL that he wasn't a good enough player and scores tries in the Champ only coz Rowley's style stretches part time defences easily.

Hutchinson is different again. Great passer, takes line on like a 13, decent decisions ball in hand but very average kicking.

In short, both Ben and Hutchy work hard but neither is SL standard (yet?) regarding their overall game.

Brierley will be replaced when TW hit SL.

Well Hutchison was first choice 7 @ NRL prior to injury which is a different world to SL, so he certainly has summat about him

Both him and Reynolds taken the line on a lot more with Purtill and create more confusion with the opposition defence - kicking game is a bit of a worry I must admit

After a great comeback by Morty against Salford,I thought he would have made the 17. Bags of NRL experience there.

Definitely have him on the bench (at least) on Friday neet....

Can see him replacing Higham TBH, but very good options and morts can also step in at h/b if needed

Me too.

Me too as well

I just feel both are two similar in style, with Huthison the most natural and talented of the two.

But hey as I always say it is a game of opinions and TBF many pundits are heaping praise on both of our halves.

Both good runners of the ball but have the speed of a forward not a half and both have an average kicking game at best and couldn't for the life of me understand Hutchinsons last kick on Sat when we're 4 points up,he kicked poorly to corner when we only had 1 player within 15 yards to challenge the kick when surely he'd have been better going were we had more players round the ball even a attempted drop goal would have been a better option taking us 5 points clear knowing brierley is not a the best goal kicker

We need a better kicking game if we are to get in the top 4.

We have little speed so need more territory. Fowards are (were!) dominating in attack and defence which is mainly why we've got back in contention in the league.

Leeds will be tough but we have a shot. It's just there if the lads want it enough.
