Hurrell has had a dreadful season. Truly dreadful. I was hoping to see a Broadbent and Newman playing centre this year, but unfortunately Jack got injured

Broadbent and Newman is certainly our starting centre combo going forward.

Newman is a great player, but has made loads of errors since he’s been back. Does he kop the same stick as Hurrell?

In defence of Hurrell he's had no decent ball from the halves. Sezer will massively help with that. For most of this season we've had no half backs.. but he's also been very very ordinary, mainly in defence.

No because he's been out injured for such a long time and he's much much much less experienced. He was quality v Wire too.

Think we all need to remember until recently we’ve had very poor go forward. Hurrell has stuck his hand up and played more like a prop most games. Then he gets tired, then the errors come.
If we can work to his strengths bit more, he’s a force of nature
And other teams are very aware of this.
Just listen to what Sneyd said recently, and that comes from a guy who plays alongside some absolute monsters.....

Hurrell is consistently in our top metres makers per game, and we do tend to use him as a one-out battering ram rather than trying to get him into space running lines etc.

Personally I would seek to retain him another season or two but on the right money. We have boxed ourselves into a corner a little with the Austin signing, unless we can negotiate an early release for Thompson. Hurrell is such a difficult one - on the one hand he strikes the fear of god into defenders when he runs at them and takes some effort to bring down. On the other hand he regularly does something which releases pressure on the opposition, and I'm a big fan of Leeds becoming a pressure-applying side again.

He has put his hand up but he has been poor. Everytime he takes the ball up Im waiting for the mistake. His ball retention is awful

Hurrell should get better with better halves around him.

I think we have lost patience with Hurrell's defensive lapses and I don't think he will be offered a new deal.
