Too much quality at the Roosters for Hall to get anywhere near a regular start, especially the veteran Morris brothers playing out of their skins.

Plus the ball usually stops at Crichton or Manu and very rarely gets out to Hall when he's on the wing.

You do realise that this phrase is patented for use about Bradford? We get royalties and everything.

Exactly and that just emphasises what BLM says, the twins have too much class to be kept out of the game irrespective of the position they're asked to play.

Signings and fans expectations fall into two categories at Wakey:
1. Players the fans aren't overwhelmed by but who turn out to be a real find.
2. Players who fans think are a great signing but who end up disappointing.

The club get it right with the unsung more than they get it right with the great expectations.

That about sums it up for me as well Slugger.
In the present climate I am extremely grateful for the players we have on the books. Even losing Danny Brough may seem like a blow, but we've hardly seen the best of him for one reason or another since last year; the loss of him also opens the way up for such as RH to make a claim and show what he can do.

Say what you like about Kay his try scoring record is up there with TJ much of it in SL, almost a try a game. Whether he could make it as a H/b I can’t say but as a winger he is right up there. With MCB gone BJB very rusty he’s great cover, better than Kershaw that’s for certain and I like. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Kay

That's a pretty impressive record and on that basis I would certainly have him back but he'd have to get rid of that pony tail! Haha...just jealous.

Only 9 of Liam’s games and 5 of his tries have been in superleague, the rest have been in the lower divisions. 4 of those 5 tries are against Cas though so brownie points for that.

He can thank big Ali for the three he scored down at Bellevue, he certainly made him look good that day.

There's the old cliche that 'you can only play what's in front of you.'
He still scored the tries, regardless of the opposition. I can remember many wingers at BV, when we were in the lower divisions who needed sat nav to show them where the line was.
