Imo, Hall is the most talented player in Rovers squad.
When he is confident like he is atm he can create things from absolutely nothing, yes he is prone to moments of complete berkishness but when he screws his head on he is brilliant.
When we get Green back it would be a big mistake to sling him back out on the wing for the full 80. If nothing more he creates a fantastic foil for Dobson and Green.

Encouraging and perhaps surprisingly good performances this season, however i disagree with 'most talented'. As half backs, Dobson and Green come above him however it is great to have someone as capable as Hall as back up in that position. When Green returns, it will be interesting to see if Hall still drifts infield occasionally or is back on the wing full stop

When I said most talented, I should have probably worded it differently, I meant more that he has the most natural ability.

Maybe stick him on the wing for the defensive sets and swap him with Lovegrove on attacking sets like we are doing at the moment only Hall playing at 13 instead of 6 in the attacking sets?

think he needs to come inside on attacking sets even when green is back. full back maybe in attacking sets???

Nah.

We wanted a full back with more attacking prowess (McDonnell) rather than someone who'll break their face making a try-saving tackle (Brisc) but not necessarily offer much going forward. Now you want to have an attacking FB, defending at FB and attacking on the wing? Sounds logical.


Here's a fantastic idea, why don't we play Wingers on the wing, LF's at LF and Fullbacks at Full back? Injury free squad permitting, obviously.

Where's the fun in that

I hate the saying of "most natural ability" its not something i agree with at all - it takes hard work and commitment.

Triple Ds...
Dedication
Discipline
Desire


With this anyone who puts their mind to it can be a great player.

Not without natural ability they won't. I can work harder than the next man but ill never play S/L bescause unfortunately I don't have the ability.

Triple Ds . . ! are we talking about recruitment attributes for cheer leaders lol!

It'll bring back the missing thousand on the gate (might even attract more)

Craig halls dad was a fullback who turned in to a good loose forward till a certain Aussie player destroyed him big Mal meninga{ hope thats spelt right}

Seriously, though, I raised this point on another topic and the consensus of those commenting was put Hally back on the wing.

I think now that his talent has been give space to flourish (which, by the way he has always had), it would be a waste to parcel it back up! The problem is he is too good to be a winger, too light at the moment to play at loose forward. Off half is his 'natural' position.

I'm a traditionalist (like dum-dum) and like to see players in their positional roles (not this switch malarkey), and if anything I can see Greeny being more suited to the loose forward role, which would create the space for Craig to play at 6 (even with the switch play!).

I think a Rovers team brimming with playmakers like Dobbo, Green, Galea, Withers, Josh Hodg and now Hall, would be fantastic.

Even now, Hall is only half a half - defending on the wing. And he's a tad erratic still.

Also, we don't currently have a lot of cover in the 3/4s. When Green is back, Hall can return to being a normal winger, Lovegrove to being a normal forward and we'll look better balanced, IMO.

Good that he's an extra option. he has adapted well and looks comfortable, so definately a plus.

OK let's put it another way the way Craig Sandercock described Hall, "He has the ability to do things most players can't and you cannot put a price on that".
