I always thought SO or LF were his natural positions. More of a classic LF, granted, than the current vogue.

Craig Hall is never a loose forward and has never played there. He's a wing/centre who can fill in the odd game at stand off at a push...

Hope he goes well this year as there is a lack of depth at stand off so if Jacob Miller gets injured we'll struggle.

I think he played SO against Salford at home. The game after Hull x2.
He ranged from good to lazy.

Craig Hall is a winger - I recall seeing him complain on Twitter several years ago that he was being played out of position by HKR, hence his poor form.

I live in hope that free from injuries and under the tutelage of BS, he'll deliver this season - it would be a crying shame if not, given his talent.

I can't say we are that blessed with wingers. I wonder why we have never played him there.

He played stand off against Huddersfield away, then went off injured. Don't think he featured at all after that.

The bloke is 6'3" - 6'4" with silky running skills, rather than explosive pace. He reminds me of John Joyner who moved from wing, to centre, to stand off, to loose forward. He's a wasted talent on the wing.

The guy cant tackle in the backs why would we put him in the middle of the park with the real big boys running at him

Craig Hall would be OK at either FB, Centre or possibly SO but last year showed has such frailties in defence that he can't be carried in the team, certainly not one like ours. So unless he has got over whatever problems he had (be it mental or physical) the best place for him is in the stands.

I personally don't see him as a winger either but could play there if we are short.
Certainly can't see him playing 13 anytime soon - not tough enough, not busy enough and not physical enough to make an impact there. I could think of 20 players in our squad that I would put at 13 before him.

His only other plus point is that his goal-kicking is slightly less worse than some of the others we have.
Maybe his displays last season have affected my view of him but he has to show quite a bit before I believe in him as a regular in any position.

If he was to cement a regular place in the side, it is most likely to be in the centres I would imagine. We have a few of them available but all of them will need to step up somewhat.

The one thing he wont give you is 30+ tackles a game, so LF is just not possible. d040.gif

Craig is a stand off in my opinion,cant tackle my wifes sunday dinner,but has the unpredictability to be an off half.Did ok for us at off half but was always behind travis burns in the pecking order.He didnt want to leave rovers but was released by us,always did ok for us,but always was frustrating in the fact you felt he had the skills to be a real star but never produced his best consistently.

Just about sums him up for us unfortunately as we were expecting big things from him last season icon_sad.gif

Quote: PopTart "Sarge1
You are very welcome to your opinion but I think the message back to you is that your opinion seems strong based on one friendly game.

As the last league game at Cas was a Wakefield win I could choose that game and say you'll finish below us. It would be based on just as sound logic.

I think the general consensus at Wakefield, since you care about us so much, is that we are improving under Smith but we still have limited and new players so it will still be a struggle but we are lightly optimistic for the season.

I hope you are back in a few weeks after the league game. It could easily be the same score as Cas are clearly on the up but I reckon we'll be ok'"


Still reckon you will be OK after today's performance?
I reckon my comments about your half backs have been proved to be fairly accurate - but then, you and your over sensitive mates dont want to hear that.
