Wouldn`t have thought it as he can`t defend that well.
It worked for Watkins as his defence was pretty good.
BA I would say sees Hall as a winger but more worryingly sees Handley as a centre.

Is it possible to imagine BA seeing ryan hall as a second rower (as he was signed before BA came) and that’s why he’s looking for an addition in the back field area of pitch ??

Potentially, could definitely make it work. He’s got the size for sure

We have no idea what BA thinks, what we do know is that they will work hard at it in training .
But Ryan Hall is a big winger and not a second row .

Ryan hall does not have the lateral mobility to defend at second row he would be horribly exposed, its not just about size....ahem.

Perhaps I’ve been as obsessed with signings as
Everyone else since glory years. It’s clear better cultures and strategies are more important…….

Has any winger ever transitioned to the back row? Plenty of centres have, but I can't think of any wingers who have.

Harvey Howard transitioned to the front row, and went on the play for Brisbane Broncos there!

Willie Isa, Luke Lewis. Realistically can’t see it working with Hall though, and equally can’t see him wanting to do it one year from retirement.

Jim Fallon played half a game at second row
