Hey ! calm down

Stats are rarely funny. People on the other hand...

There's so much more to wing play than scoring tries. Canton Brown is going well in a team that offers him plenty of opportunities. There's at least 4/5 wingers better than him in the comp, your own Johnstone among them.

If you put Hall in the Cas or Wigan team he'd be back tO topping try scoring lists like he used to do when Webb and Senior fed him tries on a plate. Hell if you put Hall in Caton-Browns position he'd score the same or more tries, it's just not the way Leeds play these days.

Don't think hall would've scored a fair few of the bishop or mcb try's tbh. A lot have been scored through sheer speed from deep.

Almost gone are the days of the big wingmen these days with most of the SL teams preferring players who can finish acrobatically in the corner or have a good speed motor on them.

That said hall is still a good winger just seems speed and technical ability seem all the rage in wingers atm.

Obviously no one can say for sure, Hall is an excellent finisher, just doesn't get much opportunity to showcase it. Yes he's not the most acrobatic but he's often found other ways to finish, namely bullying his way in at the corner.

It might be swings and roundabouts, Hall would finish some bib wouldn't and vice versa.

It has just been very frustrating to see people disregard Hall, both in terms of SL and internationally, often on little more than 'player x has scored more tries than him'.

In reality so many players finding a better level is good both in terms of our completion and internationals. God we all remember the days of Calderwood and Raynor turning out for internationals don't we?

There's no need for anyone to turn it into an appendage measuring contest.

I'm not disregarding him, he was an excellent winger a few years ago both domestically and internationally. He's still a good winger but unsurprisingly, age has started to take its toll. He isn't the winger he once was and has lost some pace.

Be nice if some defensive tightness was shown. Recent SL standards have been shocking so while I wouldn't hope to score 50 I'd be pleased if we restricted them to 3 tries or fewer.

Hall's lack of tries is symptomatic of a poor attacking structure. In today's SL a guy his size in a good team ought to be averaging a try a game, which he was pretty much on until Joel Moon arrived. What he can which none of Trinity's wingers can is bang the ball down in the corner with just half a yard of space and close in.

I really don't understand why Leeds for several years haven't focused on setting up tries that way - he needs far less space than a player who relies on speed.

In any event, whilst he's a bit long in the tooth to try the move, Hall would be top of any (very short) list of Sl wingers NRL sides would look at. One area where SL is literally miles behind is sheer physicality in the backs.

Golding
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Mcguire
Burrow
Galloway
Parcell
Cuthbertson
Jones-Buchanan
Ablett
Ward
Sutcliffe
Singleton
Garbutt
Ferres
Mullally
Handley

Baldwinson not even in the 19 then.
Maybe he didn`t play that well in the last few games?
Is Handley in as cover for Golding not being fit?

First time this year could be a 1-13 starting line up?

Total Bull$hit! All the best wingers in the world are huge and powerful. Being able to bring the ball out of yardage and relieve forwards is as if not more important than the eye catching finishes.

Even the smaller wingers in the NRL made Hardaker look like a kid fresh out of the academy in terms of size, strength and speed.

Most people are funny, but you're not - you're just bitter and spiteful - oh and have I already mentioned it, a liar.
