| I love to see interceptions and think there is a genuine art to it but one of the main reasons certain players go for them is that they rather do that than tackle! Well done Craig yesterday

| It's a high risk play - if you get it wrong, the ball is knocked on and the opposition get a repeat set near your line. Great to see when it comes off though.

| Personally thought Liam Finn was superb in defence...Warrington clearly tried targeting him and getting their big strong forwards one on one with him...I thought at the game he was excellent in defence and the stats back that up...25 tackles with just 2 misses... and as I say a lot of those were forwards like Currie, Westwood, Westerman etc...all superb runners out wide...they even switched Cox over late on for a go and he stood firm!

One iof them was more a ball steal than an interception but as Bren says it can be a risky play.

Finn is an all round solid player and smart with it - won't let you down.

| Well what can one say, we now know that he intercepts the ball because he doesn't like to tackle not because the first one was so telegraphed by Westwood and the second was an unnecessary pass thrown by Gridley. In both cases he was in the correct place and knew what was developing.
I would also point out that the turning point was the missed tackle on Clarke not the one on Cox which also involved England but let's not put facts in front of what was perceived.

| Craig Hall has taken his tries extremely well.....but he owes a lot to the players that supplied them. Like some-one stated earlier he is half a player...can be brilliant in attack but his defence is quite frankly embarrassing. When you see the likes of Miller putting his body in front of prop forwards etc I'm afraid Hall just sticking his arm out is not good enough.

Miller has been great this season, so far but let's not forget, he was a massive scapegoat last season and nobody could see any good in him and questions were being asked about why we had extended his contract before the end of last season.
Craig Hall can fill numerous positions and if he was the complete article, he wouldn't be at Wakey, like a few others.
If he scores 2 tries and sets one up, against missing a tackle on a prop every game, I'll take it.

Think we will have to just disagree on this....he was shocking at full back..and at centre he will have to defend. Some suggest he his an half-back .....As for J. Miller last year he was one of the few that gave 100% in a very very poor team .

| I agree, Miller was one of the only guys who always gave 100%
And this year, Hall was pretty good at full back. Warrington springs to mind.

No he wasn't, he was absolutely dreadful in most games like the rest of them.

Give over, Miller went missing for half a season - to say you are guilding the lilly is an undestatment. He came good once Smith arrived and had settled - about a third of a season which is what one him the awards.
