[QUOTE="loratadine, post: 38868"] henson is a proving try scorer at both club and internatioal level - smith isnt. i think people are a little harsh to criticise henson for his tackling, i remember hims missing one big one and that was against carter, and if it wasnt for "old timer" greenwood dropping the ball he wouldnt have had to defend. Most of the games ive seen him in his tackling is quite good - granted hes not as good as he thinks he is at tackling and have got to stop trying to make the perfect big hit. henson have got a tremendous step, a deceptively good step, i doubt you'd know as you prob dont watch many osprey games, but henson has good feet and can cut back inside well, he is stronger than smith - thats in no doubt hes a better passer of the ball in my opinion - and his hands are terrific, remember that pick up against the bop in the lions tour - quality, hes a good reader of a game and can see space well he has a massive boot, one of the biggest in the nh, this offers and extra kicking option both for the fly-half and covering with the fullback hes faster than he looks, i distinctl remember henson outpacing mathew tait in cardiff, and it was only due to jason robinson that he didnt score leicster are a good team - im in no doubt, but we have a tremendous team to - and im hopefully that if we get some solidity at the breakdown we can match and even beat leicster, as ive said - youre entitled to youre opinion - as am i - and i think henson would own smith. and is a better player.
