Quote FickleFingerOfFate="FickleFingerOfFate"May get loads of stick about my next opinion but I think Hansen is quite overrated, does the hard work but not a game breaker, again I think Hansen and Ashurst are similar players.'"
Wont get loads of stick from me, as I have questioned H in attack this season but in defence he really is magnificent. I can’t think of many better defenders in Super League, if he hadn’t missed the games he has with his hand injury he would be up there with the most tackles this season, which for a back rower is phenomenal.
As for being similar, Ashurst misses many more tackles than H but that’s nothing major it’s just Hansen is a freak in defence. Going forward, the stats indicate Hansen has made around 130m more than Matty this season which is surprising.
