Please point out where I even suggest this cost us the game? Thought not. If a player is upset by seeing his coach display his frustration at him not being able to pick up the ball with no one closer than 30 metres to him then he's not got the mentality to play SL IMO.

Yes, a man with a full head of hair can become bald, many men will testify.

The statement should have read "Briscoe will only remain a good player"

To say he will "only become" suggests he hasn't yet.

Nope in the same way a man with hair can 'become bald'.
So a very very good player overtime with poor coaching can 'become a good player'.
If the said poster really though the coaching was poor he could come to a conclusion that players at Hull generally go backwards which makes the comment become if he stays at hull he will 'only become a good player'.
Methinks you have taken a comment completly out of context.

Quite a few English backs could play nrl.

On the subject of Craig Hall I don't really blame Agar for releasing him. He's been at Hull a long time and Agar has obviously run out of patience. You've got to let players go to bring players in and Agar probably felt that if it was going to happen for Craig Hall it would have done by now.

Even so I think he is well worth giving a chance at Rovers.

I was going to say it is well worth taking a gamble on him but actually it's not much of a gamble at all. I can't imagine he will be in the top earners at Rovers so what's to lose?

If he doesn't produce the goods he'll be a fringe player on low wages who can be called on if needed. He wouldn't exactly be the first to have that status and every club has them.

On the other hand he could be a marvellous signing because we all know he has the talent. If so he'll be around for years to come long after Willie Mason has faded into memory. I really don't know if Craig Hall will achieve this or not but I do think his chances are better with a fresh start at Rovers.

You will probably be proved right.As pointed out countless times, his pace going forward is very good.If he can get his tackling sorted out there is no reason he should not be an asset for Rovers.
