Whatever peoples thoughts on his well documented U turn ,he is a quality player and one that we’re hardly in a position to throw the teddy out and not welcome him with open arms , great centre/stand-off and dare say could do a shift at loose if/when required . The squad is coming together nicely and can’t wait to see the new look squad coached by our new look set up in a new look stadium . Things don’t get much better for us down trodden Wakefield fan who have had it tough over the years

I've no problem with his U Turn last year. If it wasn't right for him then it was better for both parties.
We might not have discovered how good Hall was if he'd come over.
He's quality and experienced. Works for me.

I wouldn't have signed him based on what he did last time, but I can't deny he's a very good player. Now we've got him I'd play him at stand off and use Morgan Smith off the bench. Another prop and we're probably good to go. Throw in new deals for Murphy, Croft and Shaw and it won't have been a bad off season.

As I explained before. He didn’t come for very valid personal reasons that cannot be broadcast.

Everyone accepted this at the time so I do t see why you can’t

Basically his signing was put on hold for a year while things were sorted, nothing untoward.

All I've seen is that his heart wasn't in it, I've not seen personal reasons mentioned by anyone other than you. And there's plenty of fans who feel the same.

However, he's here now and like I've said, I think he's a very good player. All he needs is a couple of good games and I'm sure I'll have forgotten about what went on. Personally I'd play him at 6, but I wouldn't be surprised if he started at loose forward.

I'd be happy with him at 6.
He isn't playing 13.

It looks like he had plenty of other offers in SL and Elite 1 so kudos to our management team for getting him here.

Doesn’t matter what I say, or what ‘fans’ allegedly think.

It’s blatantly obvious that the club wouldn’t sign a player who’d done the dirty in them, I have to ask just how stupid you think Carter and co are.

I happen to know what transpired but even if I didn’t it’s still the obvious conclusion any rational persons would come to. This is not the playground, real life is a bit more complex.

I don't know what happened, why don't you tell me and then I can decide whether to change my opinion?
