Sick of this WBW garbage with Hall he hasn't even been the best in SuperLeague in the last two seasons let alone the world just another cringeworthy nickname dreamt up by Leeds fans/journalists to make them feel better about themselves that they're the best team in rugby league history. Tupou, RTS, Boyd, Morris just to name a few are all better than Hall on they're worst day.

Quote: WARRIORCRAIG "Ryan Hall's inclusion was a puzzler for me. Monaghan, Carney or Joe Burgess should have been in there. McGillvary and Charnley have had better seasons, he's in there on reputation alone.

And yes, that's two seasons in a row now that every player has been English. It's drastically losing any credibility. 5 players from Leeds in a year they've finished 6th just highlights where a lot of the journalists who pick it are based IMO.'"


I don't suppose we should be too surprised by that. In the Challenge Cup Final 2011, one Yorkshire journalist reportedly voted for Danny McGuire as Lance Todd winner.

On the BBC sport website they've gone through some of the "experts" choices. This is James Deighton's from Radio Leeds:

Zak Hardaker (Leeds); Ryan Hall (Leeds), Michael Shenton (Castleford), Kallum Watkins (Leeds), Jermaine McGillvary (Huddersfield); Kevin Sinfield (Leeds), Tim Smith (Wakefield); Jamie Peacock (Leeds), Daryl Clark (Castleford), Andy Lynch (Castleford), Brett Ferres (Huddersfield), Weller Hauraki (Castleford), James Donaldson (Bradford)

[quote="King Monkey":30st820n]Maybe a spell in prison would do Graham good. At least he'd lose his virginity.[/quote:30st820n]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18919.jpg



Quote: Aboveusonlypie "At the beginning of the season we were told by the media that Leeds have the best back line in Super League 'by a mile'. And yet practically everyone has scored more tries than them over the season. Even in the Challenge Cup Final they won it by keeping things tight in a truly negative performance that was built around not letting Carney get the ball in open space.

Good coaching to be sure but also not exactly trusting the 'best backline in the league' to do its stuff.

If Hall played for a team that plays expansive rugby like Wigan or Wire we might see if he could score 30+ tries a season. Josh did in the last two seasons and but for missing half of this one would have done so again with ease.

Ok we know that a modern winger doesn't just score tries and that there are other aspects to his game - but surely the final judge of greatness for a winger is how many tries he scores.
Monaghan and Charnley are easily the best wingers in Super League. (IMHO of course)

To be fair Hall makes the most of limited opportunities. It's also interesting how Tom Briscoe seems to have been found wanting lately. No-one is seriously suggesting now that he is better than Josh like they were at the beginning of the season.'"


It's the lack of structure in attack that has been the problem, when any of the Leeds back line have got good ball in space they've looked dangerous, but a combination of poor coaching, and poor execution has been the main problem.

Well Hardaker and O'Loughlin get in all but 1 of those sides.

Did no-one tell him it's not a "West Yorkshire" dream team?
