I'm not quiet about the fact that I really rate the guy and really beleive that if he's given the patience Yeaman was given he will become international class.

A couple of stats from last season...

Played 22 games
12 at Centre
3 at FB
1 at Centre
1 at Stand Off
5 on the bench.

Scored 13 tries

6th in Clean Breaks stat (5 from top)

Its rumoured (and it is only a rumour) that Agar is not his biggest fan.

Just wondered what other people thought of him? Is it last chance saloon for him already? Should he be given an extended run in the right centre position?

He's clearly a very gifted player in attack with plenty of pace. However, you didn't show his placing in the errors table, where he was 6th in the comp and 3rd on a per match basis. This is the issue for me, as well as his weak defence. Having re-watched all Hull's games televised 2008 games recently his decision-making is very poor at times. Yes, he's still young, and yes we could compensate for his defensive frailties by shoring up that side with Horne and Crocker, but for me Briscoe is the better all-round prospect at this stage.

especially if Briscoe is getting his head down and doing as he's told, instead of getting ahead of himself and his ability, courtesy of a pushy parent.

This ridiculous nonsense about not listening to the coaches is nauseating.

You should know by now that GG just flits between here and the KR board, pretending to be knowledgable and infomred and then goes missing when asked for details.

I have heard from quite a few people that Hall has an ego problem, couple that with the fact that Agar wasn't picking him regularly and I tend to believe it, as opposed to a faceless "fan of RL in Hull"

People should know better than to listen to anything standee say, he's jusy a moaning out of towner.

Nothing wrong with Hall's 'ego' as you put it and if you think that everything Agar says or does is right you are indeed a bigger fool than even i thought you were.

He is easy pickings coz he's young. Just ask Washy the real reason he lost the 13 jersey. Agar is weak beleive me.
