spoke to craig just this morning as i have the pleasure of knowing him personally, he has'nt signed sod all so stop all your nonsense talk,,you all don't know nothing xxx

he can't talk to any other club till 1st september, unless hull say he can

So he [ihas[/i signed something and we all know [isomething[/i?

evening Hally

That's what I heard.

I sent craig a message on facebook and not only did he give me a full update on his contract status he also said he'd love to here from all fans as he's more than happy to notify on all aspects of his life.

When he told the other players at training they all thought it was a great idea and they urge us all to drop them a line!

On another note Mark Fewings is getting bored with writing his own letters to 'Fire off at Fewey' and would like everyones opinion!

I have defended Hall over the last 2 seasons and still regard him as one of our better options for a strike player. His defence is poor (jumping out of line,slipping of tackles) though and this is a major problem for craig and our club. As our club at times seem to struggle bringing on youth players and developin their skills and reducing their weaknesses (with the exemption of Houghton who seems to have come on over the last month or so with an extended run) maybe a change of club would help craig kick on at last. Dont think he would become a regular first team player at KR which he needs. celts, wakey, quins lots better for craig who could make a position his own and get plenty of game time. I do think his attackin skills will come back to haunt us when he leaves at some point. I HAVE FORESEEN IT

Note to bigcjlchris: if anyone expresses an opinion about Craig Hall that's not entirely positive, you don't have to get all wound up and aggressive. They are not attacking 'your friend' personally, they are expressing an opinion about a player at the RL club they support. I'm sure Hall realises that, as a professional sportsman, he will be the subject of discussions amongst fans, and that some of those discussions may include negative opinions. He doesn't need you to jump to his defence like a knight in shining armour every time it happens.

I'm not saying his opinion about Hall as a player isn't valid (though you could argue it's hardly objective). What I'm saying is, there's no need to get quite so aggressive with people for saying they don't rate him. They're expressing an opinion about Craig Hall the player, not Craig Hall the person. Just as the multitudes of England fans who call Emile Heskey a donkey are.



Can't wait? You don't need to. We've had him for four seasons.



We don't 'all know' anything of the sort. For a start, I'd wish him all the best wherever he was going. Secondly, I'd think he was defensively inept wherever he was going. My considered opinion is that he would make a top championship player, and that he will struggle to make it as a SL player (though he may find his level at somewhere like Quins or Wakey). We all know he can score tries at one end, but he's just as adept at conceding them at the other end. For that reason, I don't think he's a SL player - or at least not one that's suited to a club with top 4 aspirations.

I've told you, he's not going to tell you the truth.

Can I just try to help out by pointing out the difference between agreeing a contract and signing one (must resist ).
I've no idea whether some sort of agreement in principle might have been made, but he is rather unlikely to have signed yet, even if it were. Anyway, my point is you could both be right.
My feeling is probably not - we just don't have many squad spots left. But if Colbon leaves or we don't sign anybody from the NRL, or there is a surprise departure, it's possible.

Is that the same Wakey or Quins that have finished above you in the last 2 seasons to join a team who have actually finished in the top 4 in Rovers SL time?

I mean informally. Should and is are different. I've driven on the motorway and been overtaken while doing 70mph, for example.
The idea that agents spend 11 months of the year in professional purdah is ludicrous. As you say, if Hull have given written permission to Hall, he could have signed. If not, he won't have. I don't want to risk continuing down that line, so here is Peter Smith, of the YEPhttps://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/rlcolumnists/PETER-SMITH-Now39s-the-time.5504843.jprl
