It's fair to say most Rovers fans believe we haven't seen the best of Chev.

I think I see your point.
i think the most ardent of rovers fans would not say that Chev has been outstanding, yet.
Craig hall for me is an enigma in a way, I am not yet sure what to make of him. Flashes of pure brilliance, flashes if stupidity. But I guess we get the chance to find out.
Oh and Yeamo, whatever anyone may think, is a great player. It is simply the negative down the middle FC tactics that are causing us issues.

I would have been happy to see us sign him. He obviously has plenty of talent and under a good coach like Morgan I think we would have seen him develop into a great centre. I hope Hull get a decent coach as I would hate to see their talented youngsters get wasted under Sharp.

I think Craig Hall is a decent player but is let down by his decision making and as a full time professional this cannot be put down to inexperience. I honestly do not think Rovers were looking at him, he would not improve our team.
We have some good kids in our academy set up now, I am not unduly worried about not having enough 'home grown' as this will happen soon enough.

FFS, don't let facts get in the way

Of course it can. He's played 20 odd games.
I'll put your comment down to your inexperience of junior player development.

Dead cert for next season apparently.

1)Can cover all back 5 positions.

2) Would count as an academy player.

3) Rovers fan at heart.

4) and most importantly, the kid can score tries.

Good signing (should it come off) I reckon...

Thoughts...

here's mine

I wouldn't put them over my eyes, I'd eat them in a breadcake with some bacon and brown sauce.

Good luck to Craig Hall, he's understandably done what's best for his career by staying at club where he can continue to play first team football with his mates who have come up through the system with him.

Anyway, I now know not to trust a certain bald, ex-Rovers' scrum-half as a source of information for the future...

The sun is certainly shining in the east at the moment...
