Not if Rovers play him in his correct position of left centre!!

I agree he is and never will be a top drawer player imo....however like you mentioned I also hope the kid goes on and does well and earns a good living out of the game. He is a very pleasant lad who has had a lot of opportunities with FC sadly it has just not worked out..

At 24 he has plenty of time to develop into an attacking centre, why would we want another Keith Senior? We already have one centre in similar mould: a fast 2nd row, who doesn't fancy playing in the pack. We have no creative, attacking British centres, they're just used as lightweight battering rams.

Steve Evans was hardly a great defensive centre or off-half, plenty of people called him 'windy' because of that, yet he still knew where the goal line was. After playing us to Wembley in 1985, Bunting dropped him to the bench, so that the slowest off-half in the game (Fred Ah Koi), could "handle" Brett Kenny. Unfortunately even though Fred was as hard as nails, he couldn't get within a fag paper of Kenny.

A "TEAM" should be coached to play to the particular strengths of individual players and to cover their weaknesses. The way Atkins & Hicks opened up our right-side defence last night proves to me that our sum total is too often less than the individual parts.

So, there's no room for attacking skill in this modern game then?

Evans played centre at Wembley in 1985.

i thought that was the whole point of the game isnt it??

Craig Hall's dob is feb 21st 1988, according to the official Hull FC site. That makes him 22, 23 next year.
