| Dont hold your breath expecting Hall to come good. It wont happen, even when the pitches get dry.

Is there the teeniest chance he may prove you wrong the way Platt did (as you honourably and readily acknowledged)?

I would hope he does.. Especially as a quota player but i won't hold my breathe. Just be glad to offload him and free the quota place. Will he even be first choice next year? Plenty of second rowers if that is the position we are told he is better in.

I wouldnt have thought so, Adey. Cant see where he has the potential to improve.

| Re: Hall.
As I've said a few times, can you really judge a players performance based on THIS season? Seriously? Coming into an underperfoming team in a new country?
We were in 4th place until her shaved his demon 'tache off. Talk about Samson and Delilah. And let's also not forget that he didn't have the best prep for the season and there was sone doubtt as to whether he'd actually come over at all...
One thing I hope that Potter encourages is the backing up of the player with the ball. If so, I reckon Hall will come into his own taking the tackle and getting the ball away. OK... maybe he's not a Solamona but I think if he stays he could have a good season next year. We seemed to be doing that early in the season and players like Langers were on fire busting through in support.

Yes... Of course you bloody can. A season is a long enough time to judge any player. Some players get better, but just as many don't.

20201.jpg "I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league." - Graham Lowe (1995):20201.jpg |

| Quote: Bullseye "
At the time of him signing I didn't know much about him but looking back I'm not sure what McNamara saw in him or why he was targetted, it doesn't with hindsight look a very clued up bit of recruitment. I don't have anything against Hall I just struggle to see how he justifies a quota place given what he brings to the team.'"
Wasn't the major reason, that we were in for L'Estrange and Hall is his best mate and was recommended by him. When asked Beaver backed up his credentials, McNamara thought he might be on to a winner bringing in a number of players from a champion team, less time needed to blend in etc and bob's yer uncle. TBH he's a steady back rower who might yet do ok, but I agree he hardly justifies a quota place, although that piece of Wigan beating magic he conjured up with Heath does allow him some leeway for me.

We were interested in bringing Hall over for the 2009 season, so the major reason can't have been that as we wanted him before we had talked to Heath.

| I'm sorry to say, but that's a horrible back-line. Guarenteed to ship in 40 points a game. The pack isn't that bad with the additions of Bryn and Elima, but you'll be caught outwide without doubt.

Based on what exactly?
It's clearly not based on your knowledge of Rugby League

Guaranteed?
So if we play one game next season without conceding 40 points you'll be wrong and proven an idiot?
And you're saying, any wins we will get, we'll have to score at least 41 points.
You truly are an idiot!!

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

I hope Sykes is nowhere near a starting shirt next season TBH.
