Yep. Might as well have another ass warming the bench for 80 mins.

Hall as been pretty shoddy under the bomb in defence.

My take on things is that the team would be stronger if Hall and Briscoe swapped wings, as I think Briscoe's strengths suit a centre with Moon skill set, plus the fact that very few teams attack more than 50% of the time down their right flank like we are doing(due to having the best centre around), so therefore most teams defences will surely have better defensive players on their left D.

I am intrigued.. What are these complementary skills that make Briscoe and Moon a better match?

I am intrigued by that as well. I would also like to know where Hall has been shoddy under the bomb ??

He missed judged one against Warrington to concede a try. Apart from that the 2 against Huddersfield where clear knock-ons by them

Hall didn't take two bombs under extreme pressure from the Giants that they knocked on & as has been said he failed to get to a very well judged kick against the Wolves.
Ergo he's been shoddy under the bomb in defence.
You coudn't make it up.

to add to that, the Warrington player taking that kick was Joel Monaghan,Possibly the best in SL at taking cross field kicks.

Counter argument - against such top drawer opposition Hall should have been even more focused in getting his position absolutely nailed on.

He was in postion though. His game decision was that the kick was clearing the attacker and he therefore positioned himself behind the attacker so has to receive the ball, which would then have given him a clear counter attacking run down the touchline.

The jump by the Warrington wing was phenomenal, even so he could only just tip the ball forward, and the diving catch was unbelievable.

On such decisions are games won and lost.



But it was a call of fractions of an inch.

I'm a fan of Hall and in squad terms he'd be very low down on my 'question mark' list.

But in this incident specifically he was caught out. He'd lost his winger and was in no mans land. Dog lover was free to leap and down the ball without being challenged.

That's how I saw it too. He probably would have been correct against anyone else apart from Tom Lineham.

Interestingly following swapping the wings on Friday, Brisco had a very quite game, similar to the ones Ryan Hall has been having. At present the vast majority of Leeds attacking options are going via Watkins so which every winger is outside of him will score plenty

Actually after Moon departed Briscoe had half chances in the opposition 30, it was either a case of bad pass, poor positioning, or not strong enough finishing.

One chance that left Briscoe crashing into the advertising boards seemed like one Hall would've scored. But he dropped a bomb so he needed to be dropped!!!
