Name the third, maybe 4th best half back on Leigh's books?

Mark Taylor tweeted on Sunday that Reynolds put a kick in and it went 'dead' ! Watching the Aussie teams at the weekend and seeing them force repeated sets on our SL teams shows the lack of game control our UK halfbacks possess ! Sadly for us, Reynolds is not the answer for us!
Last season, Craig Hall was Championship 1 player of the year operating from the Stand Off position for the' Exiles'
What has happened to Hall ? are we saying Owen is a better fullback than him? are we saying Reynolds is a better halfback than him or even, is Dawson a better winger than him? Anyone know?

Craig Hall?

Personally, I think he kicks the ball too far, especially from penalty kicks to touch. The 'game plan' for penalties is obviously to play safe, and just gain 5-10 metres, thus giving us the option to 'attack from depth'!

Would Evans and Hall be a better partnership than Crookes and Dawson? I think Laurel and Hardy would be really
We do have some very capable players on our books, its just the Coaches who seem to be lacking at the moment!

Definitely the best answer!!

It is a little difficult to do that when you have no or little service , however Dawson is a very poor winger for me. Defensively he is just not at the races and I have said it for some time now.

I understand he's not had good service but how many other wingers in the game score trys on their own ability in broken play without relying on service,how many breaks has he made on kick returns ect because in nearly 3 seasons I can't remember many,yes he works hard and comes in to help the forwards out but sorry I think has a full time team I want more than a winger just taking drives in

Harold, you appear to be another one who hasn't yet come to grips with modern-day RL! (see my reply on the need not to gain ground from penalty kicks) In the 'tactics' we employ, the winger's sole job is to run the ball hard from dummy half, thus saving the forwards' energy, so that they can dominate and tire the opposition, and run the points in, during the second half. Oh, hang on a minute............................

Probably one of the reasons we dont see expansive play,as we dont have the pace to match that stlye 40/50m out. Our style (if you can call it that at present) is set for the likes of Dawson to score from 5/10m out,but he's just not getting the service at that range.

Nice to see 40/50m trys, but most are one offs these days as precedence is set on getting to the scoring zone and then use them. All very pedicatable at present.

Without any expansiveness of play teams are predictable we seem to be playing a bad version of Aussie rugby. There is also the issues of entertaining the fans and letting the players express themselves there should be space in a good team for this. Coaches need to free the players to play what they see and show a bit of belief in them.

Without a doubt. The thing for me is and this is were the coaching side of it fails. They don't have an answer in real time. They set the stall out,but don't change a thing.
