Quote: Big Jim Slade "2011 Rugby League World Magazine World XIII - International Team of the Year

1) Billy Slater (Storm)
2) Akuila Uate (Knights)
3) Greg Inglis (Rabbitohs)
4) Jamie Lyon (Sea Eagles)
5) Ryan Hall (Leeds)
6) Darren Lockyer (Broncos)
7) Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys)

I'd have a look at how they get to that team before you try to use it as evidence. Suffice to say Damo and Mr Frisk have as much credibility as some who do.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final.

Hall is a great winger, one of the best. Right now he is better than Charnley. He is so safe and can finish really well. He has size, power and speed.

Could Hall beat a man like Charnley does though? Like in the QF?

Charnley has got the better of Hall in their last few meetings. It will be interesting to see how Charnley develops.

Lets assess the debate better when Charnley has been playing first grade for 5 years? Was Hall as good as Charnley after just one season? Not a chance.

depends what you mean by 'after just one season', I guess
If you were to look at their stats for their first full seasons, Hall probably had the better year
superleague.co.uk/statistics_pla ... eason=2012
but Hall was introduced more slowly into the league, after less time in the Rhinos academy

both seem like special talents though, and I would have both playing for england when the internationals come about fwiw

Is this a serious question? icon_lol.gif I guess it probably isn't. so I'll only post one laughing emoticon.

Sorry pal, I know it's hard when you've only been watching the game for one year.

Fair comparison. Hall had already played in 2007 and 2008.

Hall also started playing league relatively late. I said somewhere else on here its Briscoe that ought to be most worried by Hall/Charnley, as Hall can play either wing. I hope they both get better. I for one loved seeing Hall score those tries for England last year. It'd be fantastic to have wingers on both sides who are massive threats.

it's not fair to compare 2 young guys' first full-season stats? ok.

Charnley is a class act, but he has to improved tenfold defensively to take the next step.

He started to improve his defence big time at the back end of last year and has taken that through in to this season.

It helps not having Deacon and Joel Tomkins inside him though.

Atkins yet again showed himself to be very overated and a flat track bully. He is very athletic which makes him look great against poor players but he has poor RL skills for a centre and when he plays against half decent players and teams he does nothing and is exposed time and again.
