I called this a few weeks ago and I’m pleased to see it. I actually think Hall has plenty to offer after his playing days are done. He lives in Leeds still and we need a bridging signing until our younger players are ready for first grade still - the talent we have including Lumb, Frater, Webster are too lightweight still for first grade frankly.
People underestimate the business side of RL squad building too. Hall makes a ton of sense, especially with wingers doing yardage carries.
Implications:
1) looks like Fus is on the way out
2) that means an OS quota spot (unlikely to be used for a winger)
3) Either Handley or Hall will have to switch sides
4) Roberts will revert to centre or back row mostly
5) just swapping Fus for Hall may give us quota and salary to go for a good overseas pack player
6) we are definitely positioning ourselves for more signings with cap space for 2025
