Here's hoping Craig can learn from Tommy's experience.

If Hall is happy dipping into and out of the 1st team for the next year or 2 like Tommy has im sure he will make it as a top level SL player. If he thinks he is better than he currently is then he'll be off somewhere else. Depends how his attitude is.

I was referring to this season's performances by Tommy after last year. The lad has worked hard and it's beginning to pay off for him.

Craig could do to learn from this and I hope he will.

it the change of position that I think has had the biggest effect, at halfback he gets caught with the ball too often because he never made his decisions fast enough. At hooker he can leave the kicking and creative stuff to others and get on with the good parts of his game.

It was team requirements above individual. Credit to Craig for giving it a go but he obviously wasn't confident doing it. Reardon was/wasn't signed to fix it. Craig will be back hopefully at centre or wing as other opportunities arsie. It will help him in the long term it's all experience for young players.

Summed up well.

He is also probabally our best passer of the ball and the only player we have that is capable of missing players out with a pass out wide, with eveyone fit and his confidence up I like to see him given a shot at 6,we would be a bigger threat out wide.

Craig Hall is [ithe[/i most naturally gifted back at the club imo, right now though he's like a rabbit in headlights.

It's frustrating for the fans but we need to appreciate how frustrating it must be for him. I suppose only time will tell.

Agreed, the thing I worry about with Craig Hall is that I can see him leaving and if handled and coached correctly he has the potential to become an absolute world beater and really come back to haunt us.

He's signing for Wovers you know.

I personally think too much was made of Tommy under-performing at Half Back.

We've had a poor attack for years now and as much as I hate to say it since Cookie left. Last season we had the third worst attack in the league and for most of the season it was Berrigan and Washbrook at the helm but somehow they escaped criticism.

A big part of the problem is that our players dont assist our halves. They want to wait for the ball to come to them and provide very few options.

Its also no coincidence that we have had no quality at Scrum Half for a while yet have had plenty at Hooker and we now have two young players coming good in the Hooking position that started their rugby at Half Back.

Understatement of the day.

Am I pleased you commented on that.I was saying to my mrs at the time,he should be firing the players up,not stood around like a fart in a trance.

Been like that for 2 years

Won`t argue with you there mate.
