-i know it was a level lower,but look what happened last year.out of form,sent to widnes,has a fantastic month there.comes back,and looked a totally different player for the rest of the season.most people,at the start of this season,were shouting for hally to be in the team,alongside yeamo,claiming they could be a top pairing.now what????????????

I have always defended Hall but he really needs to start learning from his mistakes, how long can he continue to be excused? I would hate to give up on him but he really needs to start showing signs of maturity otherwise he may become one of those players who never fulfilled his potential.

I don't mind mistakes, but good players learn from them.

He will learn Paul, the problem is that at the level he is playing at right now any mistakes look huge, made worse by the fact that if you listen to many on here he is the only one who makes mistakes if you see my point .
I keep saying it but he is a confidence player, and is having a bad time at present but so is all the squad apart from one or two ...

He is definately not the only one making mistakes and I agree about him being a confidence player. He just needs to stop making the same mistakes, natural ability and talent does not always equal being a top player. Some players never realise their potential, I hope Hall is not one of those.

A good coach,would polish the rough edges off.

Defensive technique is coachable, natural attacking flair cant be coached.

Wish we could get Brian Smith.

All players have a special quality about them at something in the game plan, we need to get Craig utilising his special qualities to the full more and cover his flaws a little better till he develops, and anyone can see that the lad has something gifted in his style with ball in hand , however being played out of position due to injuries and defending continously as we have recently does not help that..
Think back to matches when in the correct position and he looked world class, just not enough of them , Yeaman is an international and still makes the same mistakes Hall does week in week out but has a better technique when he connects thats all, hall will never be a smasher in the tackle as he is not built like Keith Tindall but he does have some special qualities we should never forget that !!

Half my morning cuppa just came out of my nose. You are Craig Hall. Give me my fiver.

How long did we keep covering for his flaws though? He has not developed at all in the last year or two. He still misses tackles and still loses concentration both when reading plays in defence and also when we are attacking. He also makes poor decisions with ball in hand. I agree he has huge potential but he needs to start stepping up to the plate, he is a confidence player but that he needs to be able to make his own confidence, he can't just keep putting his head down everytime he makes an error.

He is up there with a few other players as good young centres, the question is can he go on and become a top player, personally I am not sure he is strong enough mentally although he does need an extended run at centre to help him.

I can't agree on the world class part though, he has looked a classy player with ball in hand at times but never world class.

Shame Reece Lyne isnt fit I would have played him this week on the wing and put Whiting at centre.

Would be tempted to give Tuffour a game next game, might as well see what he can do at SL level.

Agar can't have any confidence in tuffours ability, doubt he'll get another deal.

agreed , miss use of a statement on my part, I should have said classy! not world class, was tired and it was late sorry.
But he does have something special when he gets a head of steam up doesnt he?

What makes you say that ?

Bacause we have no wingers and he still cant get a game.
