That seems to suggest he's at least the joint best winger in the world...
No disrespect to Charnley, but three years ago Hall was doing everything Charnley does now - whether Charnley turns out to be as good as Hall, or even better than him, will be determined by how he progresses from here. As things stand he's a quality winger (Charnley) but plenty have turned it on for a season or two before being found out.
