I thought it was previously the other way around?

Personally, I think that one problem with him is that players in his mould are often all about confidence, and unfortunately quite a bit of his treatment thus far has not been at all conducive to that.

We dont really know what treatment he has received though do we and what he has done if anything to deserve it?

IMO Hall will be a shining light for us this season.
Despite the Crocker incident, we have to be thankful we have such talent at the club and coming through and all from Hull. We can hold our heads up high and be proud of that fact.

We don't know the full picture, no, but certain things should just not have happened IMO. P Sharp should not have reacted the way he did after the Harlequins game (he may not have been pinning the entire result on Hall, but he still should have picked his words much more carefully about a teenager's first SL game), dropping him and not others when he's arguably our most potent attacking player in a faltering attacking team sends him a strange message, and just the general comments that don't seem to be fully thought out at times seem to paint him as a second class member of the squad IMO. The latest being Agar's words that none of the first team 3/4's will be risked against Dewsbury, when Hall is down to play.

The HDM article?

Agar praises Halls peformance against Leeds in that article and is almost saying prove that wasnt a one off and you may get into the 17 against Wigan. Hall only played 2nd half and probably wants to play this weekend.

I think you are seeing something that is not actually there on this occasion.

On that basis we will see how Halls attitude is on Sunday. If as suggested he does have a bad attitude he wont want to be there. If his attitude is correct he should be the star of the show.

No pressure there then eh?

Think all players will have wanted to play at weekend after having 4 months of training grounds and gym work. I see Thackray and Manu are also starting to get a bit more match time under their belts as well.

Agars just wants all his first team players to have had a good stint on the pitch before Wigan looking at things.

I dont know where this idea of craig hall having a bad attitude came from i have had the pleasure of knowing this lad all his life,His attitude and charecter should be a example to others
