Kyle Amor vs Ben Harrison / Mike Cooper : Fri May 08, 2009 8:15 am  

First of all, I didn't start this thread to insult Harrison and Cooper. They are not world beaters but IMO they put all the effort in every time they represent Warrington and that is all you can ask.

I was watching the Whitehaven vs Widnes match on sky last night and i was very impressed by a number of young player that haven had, particularly Kyle Amor. I recognise that the teams these youngsters play against are worse the Super league teams therefore they may appear better than super league youngster appear.

This got me thinking who is the better player, would Harrison/Cooper stand out in NL1 more than Amor and co. Could Amor slot into our side?

Well Kyle Amor is a former gb player at rep level playing for... Whitehaven

Harrison is a senior level player for a team that got into the quarter final of the world cup.

Not sure how old Kyle is but Harrison is only 21 and commanding a regular first team spot. Not much more he can be doing. Forwards enjoy their best time of career older than backs so to say he wont be/isn't a world beater, could be doing him an injustice for future.

Kyle Amor played a couple of trial games for Wigan reserves last year.

He played quite well but obviously didn't get the nod.

I am surprised that more people are not talking about MOM Greg McNally.

Probably cause he's already been signed by Hudds but is on loan for the season to Whitehaven. However, if rumours are true about Brough, think he may be worth a punt if we put up the cash. he's certainly ripping it up in the NL.

Strange choice of MOM I thought. I actually thought he did nothing other than score two tries. Someone like Amor or even Joe were more deserving.

Agreed I thought Amor had a better game. Although McNally has something of the young Briers about him.

I am aware about his position with Hudds but it looks like they aren't going to be doing anything with him in the near future.

Slight difference in the quality of opposition though. I think both Harrison & Cooper are progressing nicely.

I think Harrison has been outstanding of late.

Yes he has and Tony Smith agrees.
