Just been reading some of the comments on the Cas board about him. Sounded like was outstanding for you guys yesterday. Was just wondering what people's opinions of him are.Good enough for super league etc.. |

I've always rated old Blacky but some guys on here (most notably Andy Boy who's conspicuous by his recent absence) doubted his re-signing. Great player, best half back we've had since the great Michael Hagan. Am I right? I'm not wrong! |

Good but only Half as good as Clinche. In the modern game. |

His passing game is poor at times, his running game awsome |

Quite a few people on here were sceptical about Ben being brought back to the club wrongly stating that he went "missing" in big games.Their evidence for this was always the 2005 play off semi final defeat at Cas when he was targetted by the Cas pack who were fully aware of his ability as he was instrumental in knocking them out of the challenge cup that season meaning that his man of the match award yesterday is in fact his second against Cas in that competition. Whether he could play regularly in SL is debateable but his fellow Aussie from the 2005 team Ben Fisher is probably a good comparison. With regard to Clinch I wouldn't have minded seeing them paired up at half back. |

If you compare any two players they are going to be different. The thread was half backs. |

Clinch "the pinch" was a half-back! He retired to (supposedly) take up coaching from Salford in 2004, but I can't find anything about him after then...? He was a totally different player to Black - more of a ball player than a runner, and his ball steals were awesome (hence the nickname!). |
