Quote: Trinity18 "Why would you pick Annakin over Batch? (Don't want that to come across as a confrontational comment).
I would play Horo providing he is at his best, I've never seen such a difference in a player... how he can go from a top super league standard all the way down to a standard where he wouldn't make a championship side imo... it's not worth it in penalties and errors!'"
Purely on ability and future potential I prefer Batchelor.
However,
for this game, where attitude, resilience and a bit of grunt will win the day, I think Annakin will give us more off the bench.
If Ashurst and Kirmond suddenly get injured and we need a second row for a number of games, I'd pick Batch.
