Hall must be near his testimonial I think he will stay around for that

It should be next year really as he made his debut in 2007. Watkins should be 2018.

They tend to make it a decade after becoming a regular first team player don't they? Ablett debuted in 2004 but only got his testimonial this year. Hall only played 8 games in 2007, Watkins didn't play even half of the games in a season until 2012. In any event if I were Hall I might want to delay it to 2018 as crowds will be down next year, and having testimonials one after the other may reduce the amount you can get as well.

I think it's more a case of when they can fit you in so to speak as we've had so many over the years. Bailey had his in 2014 and we gave Peacock one in 2015 so Ablett had to wait. Pretty sure Hall will get his next year with no other player in line.
