Cannot believe some of the kop he is taking from this board. I wonder what game some people watch. He was at fault for probably one try when he didn't come for the high ball but everything in attack went through him once again. The only guy apart fro Ashurst that looked like he could break the line and I think he had a hand in all of our tries? Some disgraceful comments about him. Ashurst, Hall and Annakin by far our best players.

Unfortunately Hall is one of our best line breakers but one of our worst defenders and has that Owen thing of appearing to give up too early when beaten.

I quite like him in the centre. I do not like him at full back or stand off

Agree with all that tbh. Hall had a good game in the circumstances.

I like Hall & as stated elsewhere is probably one of our most incisive attackers. I rate him inside Johnstone as I believe he is best equipped to release Tom with some good ball.

Don't rate him at FB I'm afraid!

I dont like him at full back at all.

Unfortunately, if you are defensively week then at full back you are exposed just like last night.

I like him at centre but not really any other position.

One question i have is that if we were resting Jowitt why not pick Tansey. He may have only had one decent game for us but that day he was at full back. Hes getting paid just to sit in the stands. If he isnt going to get a game pay him off like they did to a few players a couple of years ago.

Going back to Hall, he has probably played more games at full back than any other position

He is a winger all day for me. I thought he was one of the better players last night though.

For me he was very poor in defence.

He was out of position for at least 3 tries. Not solely his fault but Jowitt would have gone along way to stopping.

His flaw is shown most clearly when Kelly went the length of the field.
I think Ashurst put the ball down right next to Hall, who ran right past the ball on the ground with his hands up. He was still closest when kelly picked it up and started half heartedly chasing. He gave up after 20 steps, with forwards running past him to try and get to Kelly.

Great attacking prowess but no real heart shown in my opinion and he along with Lyne and B Tupou have a way to go to get to the standard set by the team that has been on the winning run.

This ^^ It is how I see C. Hall .I would say he is embarrassing in defence .B. Tupou had the worst game I have seen him play last night. Hopefully with players back from injury and suspension we will see a massive difference . If not then I Will be worried.

Agree totally
I do wonder what game some people are watching at times

Perhaps we're watching the whole game and not just the go forward bits. His defence is shocking and his preference is to not take the ball on the full. Lots of people seeing the same thing, so surely must be correct? No doubt about his attack, but he is only half a player and that's far too much of a luxury for us.

Hall is a good quality superleague player in attack, in fact in terms of talent alone he could be playing at a top 5 club. He is also though a mid-championship standard defender which is why he has often flattered to deceive. Last night he looked a threat everytime he got hold of the ball but defensively he was very suspect and at fullback he is too exposed. He's one of those players that will always be an enigma.

Wasn't it Johnstone on two occasions fluffed the high ball?Some people only see what they want to see .On watching the game again Anthony Tupou was immense in defence and a threat with his offloads.

He is the RL equivalent of a glass cannon.

That said, people shouldn't forget his contribution to the winning run with late match winners against Leeds and Widnes alongside key contributions in others like wire.

The left hand edge of Ashurst, Hall and Johnstone with Jowitt chiming in has been great to watch and the sooner we can get that edge fit and firing again the better.

I also think he is an arm round the shoulder sort of guy, so giving him a drill sergeant style "you're crap sort it out" doing won't do him any good.

3 missed tackles tells its own story plus Jowitt organises the defensive line in front of him and has good positional sense whereas hall does not.

Tbf halls only doing what cc has told him ,OK he's defence is not the best, but I can name a bloody handful who were pathetic on Thursday night
