Like this contribution from earlier this season, after Hall had already proved any of his previous doubters wrong

The same knowledgeable posters who thought Brent Webb was a New Zealander?  |

I know I know the answer. Visited his home town when living in Townsville (just down the road tha knows)...where I had the pleasure of watching the great Mr Thurston and Mr Bowen etc on a regular basis.

Seems like a valid contribution from a knowledgeable poster on a specific aspect of Hall's game. Just as any knowledgeable poster would have rightly critcised Hall's handling last Friday.
What the less knowledgeable posters do is very different. They over react and say things like
"I still believe that the step up to Super League is a step too far for Hall."
"I’ve never believed that Hall has the skill set to cut it in the SL at the moment. Another year in the reserves if I had my way"
"I think he has potential just not quite there yet."
"He'll never be more than average, SL perhaps, but average within that standard"
Not to mention these pearlers.
Quote: tvoc "his lack of gas and engine all mark him out as a young bloke who has lucked his way into a single digit squad number. That's OK, wing isn't a high priority position in the team and someone has to fill out the numbers. He puts the effort in and is very willing but he just isn't blessed with that star quality.
Not a reaction to last night's performance, just a consistently held opinion.
Not seeking to knock him but I don't see him as a starting 1-7 Leeds player when the squad is up to strength and when it isn't he'll be an adequate stop-gap.'"

At the time that comment was made I'm fairly sure it will have been an accurate appraisal of his performances to that point.
That he has improved in the areas highlighted is a testament to his dedication and is something he has rightly been praised for since.

Less predictable than you being one of the ones slagging a player. |

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you!

I would agree. I had concerns regarding Halls handling abilities which were justified at the time. However he has worked hard on the weak areas of his game to the extent that he is now one of the very top wingers in SL. I even forgive him his lapse against Hull KR! |

Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.:icons15f0_files/4862-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Were any of those quotes from me G1? They certainly reflect my opinion of Hall when he first came onto the scene, he was hit and miss, regularly out of position (often looking for the intercept) and hadn't had an opportunity to show his pace. There were some flashes of excellence, such as a long range try away at Huddersfield in 2008 from a tap restart, where he left the defence trailing.
I'll happily hold my hand up and say that I underestimated how good Hall would be, by quite a long way, and I'm delighted to be wrong. However such instances are not going to stop me voicing my opinion of a player in the present, because that's what this board is for.
Oh and you can add JJB to the list of players that I've woefully underestimated in the past, I know I won't be alone in that though!
