Yes I liked the fact he didn't look for anyone else.
He wanted that try....... But it was indeed a long run.

It was a game breaker in a lot of ways so Rovers were certainly trying to catch him. He wouldn't have made it if it had been 2 inches further.

If the try line had been 2 meters further away I don't think Tinny would have quite made it.

Nobody cares how long it took him but it stil took him a long time, that’s the point

It was his obviously weary legs and slightly groggy state that made it such a wonderful effort.

Just seen match highlights, Tinny looked like he was running with wellingtons filled with water, a great effort.

At first I just thought he had bulked up a lot but I have to say Hall just looked fat to me when I saw him close up. Shame but he’s a stone over weight at least and has lost all his agility.

He’s still a threat five yards out but not much else.

Cas fans had a go at him last week, prompting him to to put shirtless photos on social media, no fat on him - just over developed, compensating power for lost pace?
