G Hall is that good at defending I could run over him and I am nearly seventy I will give him a chance and just jog up to him

To be fair mate although Hall may not be the smartest of players defensively at SL level, if you ran at him he would smash you.

No Kosh nothing bollox about it!! my statement was around his defence and you know it! but you choose to be picky and pedantic...I have watched Craig Hall for just about every match he has played for Hull FC, he can score a try but I have never fawned over him because I do not rated him highly, and I have been proved right.....let us move on!

You said he lets in more tries than he scores. That isn't true. If you didn't mean it then you shouldn't have said it. Simples.

As for 'fawning' over players, I'll leave you to do that with Yeaman and Turner.

I know it's hypocritical of me to say this after being the opposite of a Craig Hall cheerleader over the last 3 seasons, but I don't really see the point of this thread. He's going, and we assume it's because the club (and most of its supporters, for what that's worth) don't think he'll make a top class SL centre in the future in the same way they believe that Tom Briscoe and (probably to a lesser extent) Jordan Turner will. Great body swerve, good pace and unpredictable in attack, but a bit flaky in defence and prone to brain f@rts. Is there any more to say? I'm thinking we need a thread on Agar or the music we run out to, just to mix it up a bit.

Hardly a bollox statement.. numbers may be slightly out, but think you are being a bit picky at BB's opinion.
Imo she made a more than fair point. Hall has had his chance time and time again and if he hasn't improved his biggest problems ie tackling, positioning etc then he never will.. we have lost a lot of points down to him, and although I wish him luck wherever he goes, I prefer to have him defending against us than for us..

his biggest problem is poisitioning and tackling but don't forget his bigger problem of try and point scoring much more than some players at our club!!

if you don't see the point of this thread why have you probably made the most comments on it? in all fairness it is a pointless thread as the lad has been let go and personally im glad as this club hav'nt helped him much just like a lot of players they have released past couple of years

None have gone on to set the world alight though have they....the simple fact remains these players are not good enough to feature in the team, it is not personal, Craig is a nice lad and I have no doubt every-one like myself wishes him all the best for the future.
