Whatever it was it made his defence better. I just wish he could have held on to it. Much as I'm a fan of his and want him to stay, his defence [iis[/i an issue and the lack of progress is a worry. |

Doesn't stop the ones playing catching the ball and doing the basics right though |

Must be true then if kear said it |

They did enough to win, 2 points are what counts. |

[b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg |

Craig will leave at the end of this season anyway..................
Perhaps things may have been different had he been born in Ossett, Ponty, Normy, Wakey, Cas or even Leeds.

Well positioning yourself in the same postcode as the attacking player can't do any harm.

I just cant work out why Craig Hall is [iso[/i highly rated. I just cant. I want to but I cant.
I go regularly (season ticket holder off and on since 85), I read many posts about him and have had many discussions at work with mates about him and I still cant see it.
Thats not to say I havent seen glimpses of real class and sheer quality at times, his try from the scrum against Quins this season was as exciting a flash of brilliance as we have seen all year and his try scoring rate is decent (maybe more then decent actually) but is he [ithat[/i good that we should overlook the glaring problems in his game (defence). As his flashes of brilliance are at best infrequent.
I havent played Rugby to anything like as a high a standard as some of the posters on here nor do I claim to have the tactical insight into the game that many on here appear to have but I do know as a fan that I panic whenever he is being ran at or an opposing side so much as veers in the direction of the flank he is defending at.
He is still fairly young but I havent seen any form of improvement in the weaker parts of his game and whilst this may be an opportunity, rightly in part, to criticise the coaches I also feel that the player himself has to seek to improve the areas of his game that need addressing the most.
I should finish in saying that as negative as this post is, i really want him to come on and be the player that many of my mates and posters on here beleive he could be but at the moment, well, I just dont get what the big deal is with him. All IMO of course.

That's how I feel exactly my mate raves over him but don't see what's to rave over |
