Quote: Hessle rover "Langley is a total waste of a shirt for me. Offers absolutely nothing in attack. And by god, i'm so happy he's only on a years contract. If Mariano is to replace him, then that's an improvement.
Craig Hall is another but in the opposite mould, Greg Eden in disguise. Great going forward (with the more than occasional brainfart), and cr@p in defence. I think that the lack of a constant position in the side is effecting him, and this has got to be the poorest season that he's had with us. We've shipped Eden out for less. So how does keep getting in the side?'"
Keating missing the last few weeks for starters. In theory, I guess it's a possibility that he was included vs Widnes with the view that Keating wasn't quite 100%. CS seemingly didn't see Hall as part of his first choice wingers at the start of the season, so it's confusing that suddenly he was picked ahead of Caro or Hodgson now. His foot in touch incident in front of CS, and some poorly timed offloads/errors probably haven't gone down too well. Still, he kicked a decent drop goal I suppose to give him his dues.
I confess to being a bit of a Hall fan. I like having his 1-7 flexibility, but other than offering that cover - that's all he is. Not a bad bench option, but I think CS prefers having Horne and/or Carlile in that role.
