The only people trotting out lines are the people that just say get rid they're past it, a bit like Sal with Peacock in 2011 when he trotted that line out
My view is completely different to yours I think on this subject. Not in that I think Briscoe is bad, I think he is a lot better than he gets credit for, but I don't think either of our wingers offer what I would like to see going forward.
For me, I strongly do not believe that Wingers should be anywhere close to the top earners at your club, not in a salary capped sport. You get more out of other key positions with big money. For that reason I would actually let Hall go before Briscoe, simply because he is such a top earner and to be frank is not the winger he was. But as that is not going to happen, and Briscoe was also out of contract, for me I don't see why a change wasn't made.
The better wingers around these days, are not the big crash bang yardage ones like Hall. Give me a Makinson, Charnley, Johnson, Manfredi (fit), Burgess, Talanoa, or many in the NRL, anyday. Something different on one wing at least would be a nice change. But even then, I still think you can get away with an average winger on an average wage, if you have correctly allocated your cap to the key positions to ensure whoever is on the wing gets the ball.

| IF Hall goes I seriously hope Luke Briscoe is not going to be his replacement.

| You would expect he could double his pay in the NRL. Their salary cap is well over double the Super League salary cap.
Hall is one of the best wingers in the world who has proved he can perform consistently at international level.

| I can't believe people are doubting Hall making it in the NRL. He's better than 90% maybe more than current NRL wingers. He has proven that he is world class on too many occasions. I'm a Huddersfield fan, we've never recovered from the famous try he scored against us.

| Whilst he might end up here, I doubt Hall would get a big money offer from an NRL side. There are a lot of good wingers here, and at his age I'm not so sure they would throw money at him, particularly given the really poor record of SL backs in the NRL in recent years. His attributes would work here - size and strength are important - but he's unlikely to be a game breaker.
FWIW I hope he stays at Leeds for the rest of his career.

Sorry, but is he hell. This is 2018 now, not 2014. He is nowhere near fast enough to compete with the NRL starters. All of them are faster players than him.
