With respect that's nonsense. You rarely see any wingers in broken field in the NRL so raw pace is not a must, for wingers it's pretty much all about being able to finish in traffic close to the line, bringing the ball back and being solid in defence. All things Hall is very good at.
I do think for the NRL to have seen the best of Ryan hall he should have gone circa 2012 but he will still go down well imo even past his very best.
