I'm not even sure if we're talking to him anymore, probably not!

All I'm doing is speculating, he may have been too expensive when we spoke to him first time but his options are now very limited and beggars can't be choosers. So, his demands might suit our evaluation and IF we still have the funds/quota space then he'd be a very useful acquisition.

I know it's not likely but I'm just speculating as I said earlier

The coach has stated he is looking to add a half back so I would think cash on the wage bill may be trying to be generated by letting Hall go to get the player they want for the position they need cover for.

I honestly believe that getting rid of Hall will be a mistake. I think he is a better player then he had the chance to show last season and I guess this is backed up by the club understanding that more clubs would be interested in him than Reece Lynn who I presume we will keep.

brian smith seems to like lynn i think he will do better next year a bit more experenced

Halls a strange one . He showed very little effort in the games he played and then the injury. I'm not sure he was up for the battle last season and I'm sure B'S will have evaluated him not on playing ability but definitely on attitude. He could be a useful player at f/b centre and stand off should the need arises. I'm in the 50 50 camp .

I think a Craig Hall that was committed to the cause would definitely be someone worth keeping, and would be a better player than some others we have. However, if there is an attitude problem then I'd rather we got rid, it won't do him or the team any favours to have someone in the camp who is not up for the fight (ask Ian Shirke!)

The Craig Hall situation is a funny one.
A player with talent but was very disappointing last season.
Now rumour has it, he is fully fit and entering the second year of his contract.
Do you stick with him and hope he signs another contract?
Likely Hall will be kicking his heels quite a lot this season and then be off at the end of the season.
Or do you look to the longer term and let him make a fresh start elsewhere and use the freed up money to develop a player for the next few years?
Joe Keyes is the name that keep cropping up and hopefully be the player to take over from Finn in a couple of years.
