| Just re watching last nights game and a thought struck me. Hall has bulked up a bit and at some points reminded me of the man Senior. Would anyone consider switching Hall to centre and Moon to the wing?

| Nah, Moon is a good defender at centre especially considering he often has both McGuire & Burrow out on that side with him. Hall I wouldn't be convinced about, he has the size but not really the tackling technique or probably positional sense.
Yeah he's getting big but he's still fine. He dropped one not straight-forward catch but that's about it, his work coming away from our line (likewise Briscoe) to give forwards a breather is invaluable (and a weak part of BJB game). He had a poor game against Wire last weak but that happens, I just think that's form not anything about his size.
I think we just seem more cramped for space over on that left side when attacking, he could've had 2 against London in Bailey's testimonial but Moon and Ablett finished them off with all 3 guys basically bunched up together over there. Even last night he's had to really squeeze into the corner to get his two scores. Moon in one aspect does get Hall the ball, but not with as much space to work with and often see's Hall have to pop back inside or risk the touch line.

| If you were to move Hall anywhere (which I wouldn't) it would be to prop.

| The chance Briscoe had turned down by the video ref near the end I think Hall would've scored, but conversely Briscoe's first try I don't think Hall would've scored.
Basically I think either side we have a long range strike options in Watkins and Briscoe, and closer to the line the strength and bulk of Hall and Moon. It's great to have a mixture of pace and power in the backline dependant on the situation.

Moon carries the ball in one hand and drifts, Watkins carries the ball in two hands and runs straight. The offload for Briscoe's try was out of two hands into Briscoe's chest, for Hall's two tries the ball came out of the back of Moon's hand, the second one was straight into his face. It came off for Moon last night, but you don't teach kids to carry the ball in two hands and run straight for nothing. Hall sent Moon clear with a very nice piece of centre play of his own.
I think Moon has it all, but the flick out of the back of the hand should be a technique used sparingly. Having said that I don't want to criticise, I thought Moon did play really well last night, and he did release Hall with some good passes on several occasions. They worked really well together.
Watkins hands are very, very good. He is a joy to watch. I don't really understand why the England RU setup are looking to RL props to fill their centre positions.

| Hall to centre could work, however when we have 2 of the best centres currently in British game why would we.

| The assist for Moon's try was quality, as he takes the ball into contact he's carrying the ball in his left hand, and with 2 Catalan players on his back manages to transfer the ball into right hand, and release Moon. Very reminiscent of Kieth Senior. Although, we all know he's a back rower all day long.

| With a Senior or Watkins they would run straight and leave more space for his winger to score. Moon ran towards the corner flag and Hall was still able to score despite this reduced space.
One shouldn't confuse Moon getting Hall the ball as a good thing, they should take into account what space Hall has left once he gets it.....it's often not great.

| Doesn't defend well enough to play anywhere other than the wing. He's a grab tackler, rather than one who puts his shoulder in to the ball carrier.
You can get away with that out on the wing, but not further infield.
