Not sure I agree. True we have yet to see the combination play but that will come. What Hall does is be in the right place at the right time, this is whats helped Murphy in defence, whilst relieving him of the onus pressure of running the ball out. He has a reliable centre who works hard for him. Although Gaskell has looked ok at centre Kershaw did a mountain of work, I don't know the stats but I'd guess Hall did more hard meters and Murphy did less. This is a good thing by the way, I don't mind wingers running the ball out but not all the time, they need something in reserve (though clearly Lineham is the exception).

Put it this way, I bet Murphy could of gone the length of the pitch on the 80th minute, I reckon poor old Kershaw couldn't after 30 minutes. It's a balancing act.

Although you'd have to cut Kersh a bit of slack seeing as it was his first SL game in 12 months..........

Kershaw did 18 carries. Murphy 7
Of course Murphy ran twice as far in his 7.
Hall did 16 carries and Gaskell did 5.

That pretty much backs up your point I think.

Thanks PT,

That was pretty much how I saw it and it's been like that all season. Great little partnership. Yet in its own way Kershaw and Gaskell did ok.

true just being out of place in the cas game with the 40/20 slight imperfections but the raw talent is there to see

This. I didn’t even read Vastmans massive rant because his posts always bore me.

But you are correct Snowie, he has the raw talent and the attributes that can be moulded to make him a star.

I think every club in SL would be interested should he become available

Indeed and as we know the bloke has a great engine, but even fully fit whilst ever his centre is doing less carries than Hall it will take a toll.

I did read it but had no answer so made up a lame excuse.

But yet you never fail to notice them, maybe it's because his rugby knowledge is far greater than yours, I would imagine there's nowt worse than trying to converse with those on a higher level than you.
Hold on a minute wolvey, it's only a few posts ago you were waxing lyrical about him, how he would massively improve the best back line in the Northern Hemisphere, now you've down graded him him having raw talent and the attributes to mould him into being a star, one thing I do know about vasty, and that's he doesn't suffer fools, it's not difficult to see where his problem lies trying to communicate with you

A bit off topic but didn't want to start a new topic, what's the deal with Reece Lyne, is he under contract. He was in a local park with Jamie Shaul yesterday and I heard he say he had signed for Rovers, I don't here if it was this season or when his deal runs out though.

He's not OOC so my guess is you misunderstood and that it's Shaul who's signed for HKR. Lyne is due a testimonial end of this year also, be a strange time to go.

It was definitely Lyne who said he signed for Rovers. It's not as if I could get the two players mixed up.

Maybe Wakefield want him off the cap?

Well there is another obvious explanation I suppose. If we are relegated, and it may still happen, then he is a free agent. I'm sure most of them have a bolt hole arranged should that happen. HKR would work out well for the lad in such a scenario.
