Call me stupid but I just don't get it .
He's fit but hes not doing pre season work ?
He's not been given a number .
He's been shopped around to anyone who will listen.

Overall he is still a top class forward if no club is coming in for him shouldn't we at least include him in the squad ?

On the face of it this does sound daft.

A couple or three thoughts, is their more to it than is being let on regarding Ben's recovery from injury, can we afford him either based on the cap, or Ben Harrison's expectations?

just to strike on of them doubts off , He is Fully fit (injury wise)

Cheers Bobbie glad to hear it

He'll be training with Hull KR wont he?

My guess is the opportunity to bring Cooper back came a year or so earlier than planned and that created salary cap issues. Got a lot of time for Harrison, he's been a great servant to us over the years, maybe there will be room for him in 2018 if Sims leaves...?

A couple of weeks ago Tony Smith said he had no plans for Ben this season & he was expecting him to go on a season long loan.

And Ben probably wants to have his full testimonial year with us.

If he's fully OK then he is SL standard.

I am quite a cynical person and I could be well wide of the mark here. Up until quite recently there were lots of players that had several career threatening injuries but made comebacks.
There appears to have been a slight change (unless I am reading too much into it) where we have let players go that a few years ago we would have put through rehab and put them back into the team.

From what i was reading a few days ago Ben's lay off has been longer because he has played on over a period with an injury & made matters worse.You would like to think the club would respect his commitment to the cause. Maybe he is destined for a job in the back room.

Could it be that were asking too much of the players; should it be a full time professional game?
As we've seen since the introduction of Super League and professional RU, players have become bigger and faster but sadly the toll its taking on their bodies is also increasing.
In Ben's case I would like to think the options and consequences were well explained, however, when you're 25 it can be difficult to imagine that you'll ever be a 50 year old - so maybe the advice needs to be more of an instruction.

I sincerely hope he gets a good turnout for Wednesday, he deserves it.

Amazing how a player loses all worth to a club due to an injury no matter how much service they have given.
