Id go as far as to say, that if he could defend, he would have been an international by now and probably have never signed for us.
Due to this, i've always thought his best position was on the wing, but i can see why people (coaches and fans alike) want him closer to the action as he has the skills and brain to cause problems for teams.
Some of his defence on Sunday was horrible. Leg knock or not there is no excuse for a pro player flapping like he did.
Anyhow, moan over. We possibly/probably wouldn't have won without him. Just have to take the rough with the smooth with CH i think.

Just watched the DVD of the Warrington game and it is quite obvious that one of the coaching staff (possibly even Chezzie ??) is stood very close to the camera, as he can frequently be heard shouting out instructions to the trainers and also commenting on play.
On the Warrington play immediately prior to Hall's interception try, he can clearly be heard shouting "F***ing Hall, I wish he would stop running out for the interception !!"
Priceless  |

The stats are great, but they only tell half the story; for example, the number of tackles a player makes is bumped up if he's regularly the second or third man in. And missed tackles are interesting - what's more interesting is when, and what happened as a result.
I'm not criticising MA specifically - just suggesting that in pointing out Hall's flaws, the same could be said about others, including MA, who is everyone's new favourite.
Again - very few players are the total package, and sometimes I'm sure a coach accepts some flaws if overall, they are netted off by positive attributes.
