I want to win, and be entertained.

Which is why I think we're fkd with Agar/Sharp.

Agree both are important but if you could only have one it would be the 2 points every time wouldnt it? We live in a results driven world at it is a business afterall!

Hall broke into first team football a couple of years ago because of injuries in the Hull backs. He was a raw, precocious talent and very, very young. It's only two years since then and it's easy to forget that he moved up[ into the first team because of need rather than him ousting better players. He is a wonderful attacking player and will get better in defence with time. I think his flair and self belief might make him develop into a great 6 in the future.

Craig Hall has the potential to be one of the best in the Superleague.

Don't make the mistake Wigan made with Brown, Wild, Aspinwall etc, by overplaying them at too young an age.

If they are not mature enough mentally, they they think that they have "made it".

Then, when they make a few mistakes, the crowd gets on their backs, and their confidence suffers.

They then make more mistakes and it's a downward spiral.

Tommy Lee, anyone.

Good points your dead right

You clearly do though, so lets not pretend.

Likewise.

Hall has to play, its as simple as that. With Horne and Crocker on his side he will have more defensive protection. Yes he will make mistakes but I would still play him.

Very good points.

can some of you remember how old the lad is!!!!
give him a chance, he will be going no where but will be back in his rightful place as a good youngster learning the game in a decent squad
and he will get game time in 2009
but not all the time!!!

I'm having a similar discussion with our St. Helens friends

with regards to Darrell Goulding.

He and Craig Hall played together for England academy, and like Hall has not developed quite as fast as we would have liked. However he is still only 20 years of age.

Give the kids a break. Ease them in gently (Goulding played 19 games last season) and they will come through.

It's interesting how no one is mentioning just how awful Yeamans positioning can be. His wembley appearance was extremely Hallesque, culpable for 2 of their tries but bombed out of the line to intercept and go the length. Hall has to be perservered with, he has somehting in abundance that not many of our 3/4s have had over the last 20 years. There's no substitute for pace and for a centre he's still extremely young.
