I tend to agree. Not sure we need him except cover for injury.

We don't need a backrower, but despite wearing 13 on his back, Harrison primarily played a prop role for us.

If we lost Bailey, we would suddenly look a bit lightweight on the bench. Harrison returning could be an option?

I think he would still do a job for us at prop if he proves his fitness. Top player.

Hill, Sims, Dodds, Cooper, Westwood.

The bench looks pretty heavy to me.

Was thinking more for this year - not sure on the terms of his loan arrangement.

If we lost Bailey for the rest of the season (say) we are left with a bench of King, Wilde & Philbin/Cox, presuming Dodds is done for the year.

Suppose we would have to think about cap space aswel. if Dodds has another year, Harrison may need to make way. However, if Dodds goes home, surely Harrison would be on less that him, and may fit in for next year. As i said earlier, if he proves his fitness....

The club may be viewing Bennie through a slightly different lens - his injuries. I think he had no less than four operations over the close season and the club may be wondering how reliable he might be in future years. Just a thought.

There sees to be a view on here that we will have Dodds next season, is there any evidence for this?

None, I've been asking this question every time his name gets mentioned, wish someone would tell us.

I was gonna post about him on here, he went really well defended like a maniac, kept offloading and did well for only his 2nd or 3rd game back. Really excited to see back next year. Not sure why people think he won't be with us next year, Ben evans is proberly going elsewhere, Jordan Cox might not be and theres a good chance Dodds won't be here. It would be stupid to get rid off him as he's a quality player who's sorted out injuries he's been carrying for years. He's fresh from having a year off and was one of the best forwards for wakefield, can't wait to have him back.

As I understand it it's one of Dodds or Harrison staying.

I am not convinced at all that Dodds will stay. He didn't really want to come in the first place and allegedly offered to stay with his previous club on significantly lower wages. I think his plan was to use the offer of a year at Warrington to get his fitness sorted put is a good year and earn a contract back in Aus. Clearly his injury ravaged season was not part of the plan and for both him and us that has been a shame as he is clearly a good player as not many mugs play in an NRL Grand Final attending team. And let's face it Hilly is in desperate need of some help

and so I hope Harrison stays was the last part of my outburst which mysteriously was missed off

Dodds has hardly played enough minutes this year to be retained.

You would keep Harrison over him every time, he is a proven performer.

I believe Dodd's knee is a mess and will not be here next year. Sad for the lad but he and we need to move on. It would be good to get Benny Harrison back, fit and eager. Was impressed with him playing for Wakefield, aggressive, intelligent and something we are lacking at the moment. If we could get him back for the semis it would be a useful addition to the squad and a great boost for him after the year he has had.

Dodds is staying

If that was the plan then it's clearly backfired and I would suspect his best route back to an NRL gig would be another year in SL to get fit and show his worth.

Totally Agree. The stumbling block could be his salary. He is not in a good bargaining position, given the number of games he has played for us this season, with regards to salary cap.

If he is prepared to accept a significant pay reduction, then I too think he will stay at Wire for a further year.

Which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see him elsewhere (Widnes or Leigh perhaps) next season rather than with us. And if that was the case, what are the chances he'll play the season injury free, look immense and leave us wondering why or what could have been.

Totally agree. If not Harrison then someone else. Dodds had injury worries before he joined us and a broken leg is not going to make him any less of a risk.

This season has been ridiculous, starting with four crocked players (Evans,Wheeler,Dodds,Laithwaite) ,Bailey coming with a recovering injury, Cox, no spleen & prone to infection & Harrison de registered to have major surgery. You can't start a season with a playing roster like that and expect to challenge for honours, but we have done with a much reduced rotational squad bolstered by youngsters.Our team has really done very well with one hand tied behind its back & the regulars must be exhausted especially throughout these last few weeks.

With the news on Currie today (potentially 9 months out, massive blow) I would bring Ben in for the Semis if its possible (does his loan end straight after wakeys last game?). We need all the experience we can get a present. I think a 3/4 fit Harrison would be better than Wilde or Philbin in the Semis.

Nice article in guardian about Harrison and how he coped with his injuries. Sounded like he was staying and playing in 2017. Good news if he gets fully fit.

that's the news I like to hear

I just don't see where everyone fits into the side next year especially if the rumours of Crosby and Savelio are true
