Hall did not even need to pass to Whiting for that try so both could be blamed. Whiting also supported the break from Horne and has enough to finish off the move for a try.

He had a poor game against the Crusaders but so did many others. For me they are equal this season in terms of performance, well Whiting is slightly ahead overall as he got motm in one game. Hall scored a blinder against Quins but has not done much else.

I prefer Hall in the centres but this season Whiting has had the better season so far.

In a nutshell I think you are spot on. Hall would be my preferred centre but Whiting's performances justify his selection.

What makes people think Briscoe is going to make a good centre? I've seen no real passing ability and his footwork isn't that great either.

aaron murphy would be a poor signing really not a bad young player but thers alot better players and would see us going backwards in regards recruitment. on the other hand owen would be a great signing but i know he likes to play full back instead of wing so dont think thats an option. to be honest there isnt many good english wingers now anyway so giving calderwood another 1 year deal may be the best option at the moment. id be tempted to give tuffour a game against salford to see what hes like at this level becasue at the end of the day he needs that oppitunity at super level or we"ll never know what hes like.

A tricky assessment to make when Hall has hardly played in his specialist position.

ATEOTD he's contracted until 2013, so he's always going to be given more opportunity by the club than other players who are OOC at the end of this season, 5 years was too long a deal, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Even to the detriment of the team?
I'm not sledging the kid, just don't think he's going to be the brilliant creative centre we need. People are lebelling other members of our squad as 1 trick plodders, apart from kick returns due to his impressive leg power what has Tom got?

I think some of it is just based on the assumption that a player of his age and size will automatically move to centre with good effect.

he doesn't need to be a creative centre, whatever that means, he's got the pace and the power he just needs to improve his foot work and learn how to put his winger away. Considering his age i don't think that will be a problem.

Remind me what arguement you favoured when Whiting was dropped to the bench and Hall played centre?

Would of liked to see Hall at centre as I think hes going to be a top centre one day, but I think its important we just get back winning ways on Friday so Whiting is the safer option. Hopefully though, when the grounds firm up, then Hall will get more games.

For me I wouldn't have Tom Briscoe in the centres for a couple of years yet, would be happier with Hall and Yeaman.

Hopefully Moa will be in for Cusack too.

Also, why isn't Yeaman being questioned, he's played well this season but it always seems to be Whiting or Hall.
Hall's a left centre IMO.

You've answered your own question there.

I meant in the broader scheme of things
