Bl00dy hell! You must be double jointed! 
Halsall has been good every time he has come into the side, even earning the nickname "The Bank" because of how safe he is under the high ball. It seems to me as though he's bulked up considerably this season and looked a handful on Monday. Swatted off a couple players and looked really strong. I think he'll go really well if given an extended run, which he should do now |

I didn't know much about the lads, but I recently read that he was a FB during his junior rugby days. I know they shifted him there on Sunday when Field went off and that makes sense on the high ball too.
In regards to size, the clubs website has him down as 6"1 and I'm sure he'll continue to bulk over the next few years.

And has shown that unlike guys like Bibby and even Hardaker (to a point), that he can get his head up and pick a pass.

I'm looking forward to him getting a run NK. He played pretty much across the three quarter line and never let us down wherever he's been played. I'd like to see him get a number of games in a settled position now. He's earned that opportunity in my opinion. |

I’ve always said that I watched bits in the academy and never really saw him as a standout but after seeing him in the first team, I think it’s just because he’s quite understated and goes about his work in a really professional manner. He’s not hugely explosive but everything he does do is very calm and composed. Some players just raise their levels as they need to and get looks like he’s done that.
I think he’ll go well and take this opportunity |

| Him scoring at Elland Road for us to go through to the final would be a good start, as payback for all the wiganers who scored for them over the years.  |

He will have the full backing of all the fans.
For me nothing better than a lad coming through the system into the first team. Add being a Wiganer is the cherry on the top. |

I don't think anyone has claimed that he is, or will be, a superstar, but some young lads seem to look at home as soon as they reach first-grade, you see it with some of the talented teenagers in the NRL, and so it has been with Halsall. As said upthread, he gets on with his work and looks calm.

Maybe he could develop into a George Carmont type of centre whilst not spectacular but very good at doing his job

George Carmont (IMO) was spectacular! |

Compared to anyone since, he was extremely spectacular. |

I wasn’t knocking Carmont by saying he wasn’t spectacular far from it he was great for us but I always thought of him as an all round centre who did everything expected from a centre from a team aspect

Sounds like having a read made replacement for Zak was part of the decision. If you are already comparing Halsall to Carmont, you might have a very special young player on your books……

Have we had better centres in the last 20 years than Carmont and Goulding?
