| I think the problem is many have placed Hall on a pedestal and believe is a potential world class player..he is not, there were a few poor performances tonight so unfair to single out Hall..he is not having the best season and he really needs to sort out his defence which is pants..personally not bothered if he goes next season, he has had enough opportunities with FC to stand out imo.

I have defended him for the last few years, but he frustrated the life out of me last night sticking his arm out in the defensive line. We were [ivery[/i lucky on occasions (especially in the 1st half) not to concede a try due to him flapping.

| Quote: gazcoops "If its the same incident im thinking of, he had to make a play for the ball. If it went to Wakey hands, they were certain to score as they had a 3/4 overlap. IMO Whiting going for the intercept was a very clever decision, as the only other option he had was to conceed a try.'"
Correct.
Hall's biggest problem is that he seems to be windy. Always looks like he's trying to avoid any big collisions to me. Away/turns his back on tackles he should be making, or flies out of the line leaving us exposed. That pass he bombed that would probably have led to a try was because he was looking at the defender coming towards him and not the ball.

That simply isn't true. And coming from someone who trumpets Turner as the next big thing at every available opportunity, it's pretty ironic TBH.

But it is true, many on here have touted him as a "future international", "could be world class" blah blah blah. His defence is woefully short of being SL standard. As was said by someone else he's too windy.
Also, having a dig at someone for rating Turner is the most ironic piece on this thread, given your blind defence of Hall sometimes.

And that perfectly sums up your lack of any real knowledge of the game.
Anyone calling any professional RL player windy couldn't be further from the mark.

| Other than jumping out of the line i thought Hally was pretty solid last night and looks a lot more comfortable at left centre.

| windmill boy is not good enough for super league ?
he'd have trouble directing traffic the way he waves his arms at defenders
ok so the lad can score some great tries (when he gets it right) but i'm sure he will always concede more than he scores.
not good enough and no one will convince me otherwise.
same goes for washbrook if Agar insists on playing him at No 6

One or two have suggested he's a future international. I haven't. And being an England international doesn't qualify as being world class in my book anyway. All I've ever said is that used and coached correctly he has the [ipotential[/i to be a very good SL centre. I still think that's the case, although I'm beginning to doubt he'll ever achieve that potential here.
I've defended Hall when I think he's been unfairly criticised. I'm certainly not blind to his faults and have mentioned them on several occasions. His defence varies from decent to shocking and I'm losing patience with him for not making enough progress in that aspect of his game. But he does get panned on here for things that other players get away with, and he has had some mitigating circumstances that some like to ignore. I hate it when players get picked out that way and things get personal, so I tend to jump in.
The problem with folk on here is that they go OTT about things, and anyone who tries to give a balanced view is invariably slated by one side or the other. I just call it as I see it. Hall isn't as bad as some think, and isn't as good as others think. Life tends to be like that.

| For as long as Hall is coached by Agar and the rest , We will simply see no improvement with him . It's not only with Hall . Other players haven't kick on as they would have at top clubs.

Whiting cost us a try last night flapping at a high ball but no one seems to mention it.

I think that's because Whiting has, overall, been excellent this season. When you're playing to the standard he does week in week out, your mistakes are more easily forgiven.

There aren't to many in Superleague, in the NRL however there is bags of them and that and our dearth of fullbacks are two of the main reasons why we are so far behind the Aussies imo.
Hall is the best attacking centre we have had since Barnett imo.
