I thought Hall was a left centre and only a left centre? With Yeaman and Whiting ahead of him for that slot, Hall needs to be moved on and his salary invested in strengthening elsewhere.

Hall is a left sided player and only a left sided player. (as i've always said)

I've actually mostly said said but have said wing a lot too if you go back and read all of my Hall related posts over the last couple of years.

I disagree about not needed. With the right coaching and picked in the right position he is a valuable asset. We'll already be using the Calderwood money and the Cusack money to name but two to strengthen so it's not like we are drastically changing things, and rightly so. We wont be renewing everyones contracts, but likewise we wont be bringing in masses of new players.

You make me laugh, you do. You spend hours knocking Lauaki, yet you describe Hall as a 'valuable asset'. Utterly unfathomable.

and well deserved too!!!

Expected as much with what props are available out there, hopefully both on lower wages then they are currently on.

Looks like we'll have a lot of players coming off contract next year.
Could be an interesting year recruitment wise. I expect the club are planning for it already. I would hope so anyway!.

I think Lauaki is a valuable asset too, just not value for money currently and needs to be better more consistently. I've never said anything other than that.

Hall is a valuable asset for the chunk of cap that he takes and the positions he covers etc. He too needs to up his performances and play more consistently.

Whichever way you dress it up he was poor in defence, could have been first games nerves but it did not affect his ball carries. He just did not look ready from a defensive point of view. I think he is at least a seasona away from 1st team.

I'd take Meli over Calderwood and Hall.

Thank god for that, I thought I was all alone.

I'd sooner spend the sort of money he'd likely want elsewhere.

Agree. Desperately need a fit halfback.
