Hall would be a better option for us than Cam Scott who I think has been poor this season

Re: Rumours thread : Mon May 13, 2024 2:27 pm  

I'll be honest if Powell thinks he can improve him by working with Shenton, I trust him but I wouldn't be paying a fee for him. His defence is still a weak spot and he's still quite light weight imo. I know he's got age on his side but atm he wouldn't get in our side as a first-choice centre, I'd prefer Thornley and Pratt.

When he was with us I can't really remember issues with his defence or being too light weight. In fact at the back end of his time we seemed to play him in the second row. He should never have left as I thought he was comming on great in his development. Bad but of business by a clueless individual

Great if it happens and would be good if we could get him now. I feel we do need to strengthen in the centres

Hall and TJ were pretty good together 2 years ago. Pratt and Walmsley on the right who are this seasons left partnership too is a bonus.

Could be a decent signing that if he can regather some form.

I think Cam Scott started in the second row in his last match.

Watched hull a few times and can’t say Scott has stood out. The club may see something in him but I’m not sure. Honestly if we are looking for him as a centre I’d be as happy to keep Croft who is reliable rotation cover for Centre/Wing.

In respect of Cam Scott I thought he was a great prospect a couple of seasons ago. However he now seems to be suffering the toxic environment over at Hull. I don't know what's going on over there in any detail but plenty of other good players now look terrible.
Also going back to Corrie Hall, the rug was pulled from under his feet at our place and when he first arrived at HKR he was getting MOM in his early games.
Plenty of players suffer form drop at clubs and a change to a different environment can make them flourish again.

We now have a team in place that actually know what they are doing as opposed to our last director of rugby. If one or both arrive with us, I will be happy with that.

Agree. He's let a few past him on Sky this season. Has potential though.

I still think it's a shame Dagger went, I rated him.

At the time he was with us and it's just my opinion, I felt he was prone to getting bullied a bit by bigger centres/players but he was just a young player thrown into our team at the time, who was a prospect. His talent is obviously in attack, with his pace and eye for a gap. I've watched him a few times at HKR and he's been alright but if he wasn't one of our homegrown players I don't think I'd have noticed him so much tbh. I honestly don't remember him playing second row, look at the picture of him playing for Cas the other day, he's still the same fairly slight build he was when he left here. If he did, I don't know what we were thinking. Ateotd as I said I'd have him back, I trust Powell's judgment and working with Shenton would do wonders for his game like it seems to have with Pratt but I wouldn't pay Hull KR much of a fee for him.

Carter explained the situation on a podcast after he left, Hull KR had enquired about him before he left and we knocked them back but when we became desperate and wanted Dagger, who tbf played well for us. Corey was the only bargaining chip the club had he said. No one wanted to see him go but we unfortunately were a skint club then.

As for Scott, before this season I thought he looked like a good player but let's be honest Hull is a mess and there looks to be a toxic environment and no one has looked that good at Hull, like you say getting him away from there will reinvigorate his career.

I would be happy with Hall coming back we would have two young centres who will get better with age

Would hall and Pratt be up to the full rigours of Super league as our main strike players in those positions personally I think not ,and still need more time to develop their games . As we’ve found out to our detriment there are no places to hide when the likes of Wigan , saints come calling , they are certainly no Collis or Tupou who would have graced any team in super league. Harsh as it may sound there is no room for sentiment if we are serious of competing with the very best . Imo we grab hall and develop him for the future the same as Pratt , but our starting centres next season , not for me I’m afraid , they’ll get torn a new one imo .
