Why dd you not pass....? (Mr.Moon was not a happy bunny)

I'm not happy either, I had Leeds to win by 56-60 points at 125 -1 with Billy Hills.

Probably should have passed but the chances of Hall not scoring in that situation must have appeared infinitesimally small at the time.

Doesn't get many of those wrong.

It was an amazing tackle. Can't remember who by.

If there's a player who has earned the right not to pass, it's Ryan Hall

Rugby League is a team game.

9 times out of 10 Hall crashes over and scores - this was the 'one in ten' attempt so I think we should cut him some slack.

Same reason moon dummied and scored in the semi. He was confident he had the best chance to score. With his record from 5m I'd have backed him too

think you have to credit an amazing tackle rather than blame hall

Basic error. Rugby is about passing to the man in space.

I've already said Hall probably should have passed but a pass can carry it's own risk - miss directed, fumbled by the receiver, deflected or even intercepted by the last defender.

Not the first time a player has succumbed to white line fever nor will be the last.

And if the pass had gone astray the world would have been full of people asking why he didn't back himself in a 1 v 1. Hindsight and all that.

Plus it was a bloody good tackle.

9 times out of 10 Hall scores.
Therefore no problem with him taking the decision he did.
Dixon's error in the same situation was far worse.
Hall still provided for me the champagne moment of the whole game with his hand off on Kelly that dumped him on his backside.

Not "probably" Hall should definitely have passed. He had a defender in front of him and two team mates close to him on his right in clear space with plenty of time to make a simple pass. So the odds were in favour of the pass. He took the wrong option despite his undoubted ability to break tackles and score tries.

You point about the risks of passing applies to every pass. If we didn't pass because of the risks we wouldn't have a game at all!

In junior rugby even had Hall scored the coach would have had a word with him about greed and it being a team game. At the top professional level the simple soft hands pass is what they do 100's of times each week in training.
