No-one stunned me more. Stunned that he had a scoring record as good as his.

Darren Rogers...

Can't be bothered reading the whole thread but my opinion is that at times he badly switches off and at the moment this is being highlighted by other sides scoring points off the back of his errors.

However he's young and has plenty of time to improve but as it stands he is some way off Lee Smith who I think at this current time offers much more.

He lacks a yard of pace for mine but as I posted earlier it's a little premature to be writing off a 20 year old.

One of the best wingers to pull on a Leeds shirt... J Atkinson was still prone to making huge errors even at his peak.

He certainly was and then he'd glide in for a try leaving the defenders on the floor looking up in his direction thinking how did he swerve pass me.

I just don’t see it, I don’t see the potential or the raw skills that make a top class player, skills that were there a few years ago with Smith.

Players like Michael Haley, Ben Jones-Bishop and Kallum Watkins excite me (no gay gags please) watching them play – IMO they all show the raw talent that can be tuned into top class players – Hall sadly doesn’t.

I could be wrong, in fact I hope I am but I just don’t see it.

Agree with BJB and Watkins they look the real deal, not seen enough of Haley yet.
I would like to see BJB given some SL experience on the wing.

Haley is a proper ‘old school’ style forward and looks like, with the right coaching, being a formidable player.

Agreed about BJB would like to see how he fares up on the wing – still think he needs a little more bulk though but he really does look like a cracking prospect.

I agree with you on the young guns but disagree on the hall opinion,i think he has shown potential and proved he can be a handfull on occasion.
I think smith is better at the moment but i wouldn't cut hall loose either.

Hall also contributed 8 points on Saturday

which most wingers (if fact, most players) would have got...but would they all have let the tries in ?

no, i agree.....hall has never done anything to stand out (for good reason), or make you think 'wow, who was that'. yet he's had plenty of mares in defence.
when smith was having mares in defence last year (and before), people where all over him in a shoot. least when smithy was having mares, he was still creating wow moments in attack.
