Ben Harrison - The British Nathan Hindmarsh, Look-a-like and style of play Options

[Wendall]

“He’s starting to look like Nathan Hindmarsh,” said Wolves forward David Solomona, who played alongside the Australia and Parramatta back row tackling machine for three years.

Has impressed me a lot with his development in the last season or so.

Think he will be in the England squad at the end of the year, he has bulked up immensely over the off season and is deffo the nearest thing we have to a Hindmarsh.

i was very impressed with harrison on sunday he never stopped working and should be knocking on the international door very soon but dont go putting un needed preasure on the lad by comparing him to one of the best back rowers the game has ever seen just yet let harrison play and learn .

[EastLondonMike]

would be great if he could become anything like hindmarsh.. lost count how many times ive seen sides make a break and look certain to score.. then hindmarsh appears and chases down a player he has no right catching.. great player..

I aint putting pressure on him but I can see the similarities between him and Hindmarsh in their style of play. Harrison is a real workhorse and the type of player any team needs.

The England pack looks to be quite formidable for the next few years with the likes of Graham, Crabtree, Burgess, Ellis and Harrison. All we need now is Eastmond, Myler and Tomkins to keep progressing and a few good backs to come along and we might….might challenge the big 2!

How many minutes did he play and how many tackles did he make ?

Yeah, this is something which doesn't make sense to me. Harrison doesn't make half the number of tackles that Hindmarsh has been known to over 80m.

I've been really impressed with Harrison, and he has developed a really big hit which forced a couple of mistakes the other day, but to compare with Hindmarsh is a bit silly.

As has been said, let him continue to develop and play his own style.

David Solomona made the comment on what he has seen.

Good luck to Harrison if he becomes half the player hindmarsh is.

I see it as a pep talk and a boost in confidence.

Everyone in the human race needs a confidence boost so why not an ex international offering his advice / comments to boost the young lad to the next level.

Was really impressed with Harrison in the friendly last week, more so that any of your other players. However he has a rival in the Nathan Hindmarsh clone stakes as Joel Tomkins did a pretty fine impression on Friday as well.

lets hope all the young players carry on developing and the England team can have a realistic chance on home soil in 2013 . i thought people were saying our game was dying i think its on the brink of finaly competing with those Aussies and Kiwis in the not too distant future .

Not being caustic............but......I seem to have heard and seen comments of this nature once or twice previously. I do agree that we have some pretty good young lads emerging at present, but again that has also been bandied on numerous occasions before.

I think it would be prudent to wait and see and not to get too over-excited after one game into the season, there is a lot of water......etc, before the next 4 Nations comes along.

I can see the similarities between him and Hindmarsh

Is his ar$e always hanging out of his shorts?
