He played alright. Could tell he wasn't 100% but came through it. I reckon he played for about 50 mins in total.

I reckon give him another week before rushing him back. The last thing we need is another injury.

Does anyone know if Hansen has ever played centre? Given Nobby's penchent for interchangable centres/2nd rows it seems to me that Harrison would be a prime candidate. I've always been of the opinion he could go well in the centres.

Don't know but it would an interseting pick

He is fairly agile for a big guy, good pace, his defence is solid, does he have the rugby brain though? not that our current centres seem to have that anyway :conf:

he seems to be very good prospect. i think we should keep hold of him because he was better than tickle before he got injured, infact he was one of my favourites ebfore getting injured. i think he could play centre to. he reminds me of PJ, not short of pace, good tackler, strong runner and can play multiple positions.

All fine points and he is a talented player. But can he link well with a winger to draw the defense and create the space. I think we should keep it simple, but effective for now. As I said in another thread I think the Dallas switch could work or interchanging wingers to see wing/centre combinations work before Bailey arrives, but i think Hansen should replace Tickle.

give tickle a chance as i said on another thread after a great season younger players will often have an average year.

but he is worth the wait. he can play prop if needs be, a great goal kicker and a big second row prospect

I'm not saying drop him altogether, but rest him or interchange with Hansen. I somehow think given the burdening of so many games because of injuries, he needs resting a bit and maybe he can concentrate on other things like general play and his goal kicking.
