Just thought Id ask all you Hull Fans whats happening with this guy was awesome at times last year and thought he would get a game with whiting, motu tony and raynor being out but G Horne playing Centre

Can you please enlighten whenever ive seen him played well scores trys etc.

We have a safety first coach who would rather go out and try not to lose a game rather than trying to win it, hence Hall isn't in favour due to some defensive deficiencies. Id McRae were still in charge his name would be 1st on the team sheet every week

Morning Craig

We are clearly looking for good defensive dislpays this year and on last nights effort whos to say Agar got it wrong.Craig Hall has proved himself to be exciting with ball in hand and shown he knows where the line is, but one of his development needs is his defence and hes clearly rated behind the backs we selected last night, who were awesome and fully justified Agars selection policy.

i like craig hall he had a good season last year, but we had a list of injuries as long as the east coast. He filled the gaps well last year as did danny houghton and a few others. now we have an 'almost' clean bill of health they are going to have to challenge for a place in the team which is superb and can only be good for us.

He said at the NHS thing pre-game that Agar had told him he wasn't a million miles away, so he'd be doing his best in training to make the mark.

Seemed confident enough that he'd get his chance.

So am I.

As said, he'll get his chance at some point this season and if he takes it, he'll stay there.

He has more natural talent than all our centre's put together.(IMO) He just needs to show it more consistantly.

Play him against the Welsh....G.Horne to the Bench with Maloney...Burnett to miss out and Houghton on the bench as well...Washy to start at 13

Agree - Hall and Houghton should feature in that game.

He and Whiting were mingling with the fans in the West Stand concourse. Both looked very happy and Hall looked to have bulked up a bit. He's a class player who is still very young witha few problem areas. But he has an attacking flair that you can't teach, pace that also can't be taught and an instinct for getting to the try line (did I mention he can kick goals as well?). He'll get his shot, don't you worry.

Will bring more speed into the team against a team that are no where near s/l speed yet...let Maloney have a go in place of "the fans home-grown favorite King".

G Horne didn't do anything in defence and in particularly in attack last night to suggest he is aa better choice than C Hall.
Our defence was so strong across the line Hall wouldn't have been exposed, and on more than 1 occasion in attack Horne stepped to come back inside whereas Hall would have taken them on on the outside and given his winger more of a chance as he is quicker thinker and has better hands. G Horne didn't do anything with his chances, Hall would have made more of those chances, he's got to start next week.

Maybe controversial, but on last nights showing Yeaman would be lucky not to be dropped before G.horne if Hall was to be given a fair crack of the whip. Why on earth would Agar change the side though? The only 2 players who looked off the pace were Kingy and Wasbrook. I would have had Hall on the bench instead of Wasbrook.

BINGO!!!! G Horne has earnt his place, Yeaman needs to pull his finger out IMO.
