always liked the kid when he was at hull, will always score trys, but from what little have seen of him this year on sky hes still a dodgy defender,saying that u watch him score a hat trick against us

Ermmm he has to be better then Jake Webster and Kris Welham!!! At a guess with Webster injured Craig Hall will probably play against Hull FC.

Easty you know that's totally untrue mate, Webster does very little these days, whatever he does do Hall could do just as good a job IMO. I know it's harsh but Webster has simply become a liability with his injuries, literally every tackle he now takes I am half expecting him to stay down, he just can't do it at SL level anymore and probably hasn't been able to since 2009 at the latest. If I had to have a guess I'd say it's a hell of a lot more to do with politics, which absolutely stinks.

even if he plays this week he wont a chance to impress cos we all well do is go down the middle again.

If Craig had defended as bad a Webster did on Friday, prior to his 'injury', he'd have been dropped this week without question.

Yes that is the puzzling thing.

Webster makes some strong tackles but can still be poor defensively at times like in the Wigan game for the first 2 tries.

Think Jake is always going to be one of those players who is never as good as you think he should be. If Hall plays instead we will gain as much as we lose IMO.

true.

Exactly how has Webster been 'very good'?
Our defence out wide has been nothing short of woeful, He has scored only 4 tries in 12 league games and only created 3, He went missing (Not for the first time) against Wigan before he went of injured.
Now campare that to Welham (Yes I know we are a right to left team).
Defence has been no better (He has missed more though but you have to actually lay a hand on the man to miss him) but he has scored 15 in 15 league games created only 1, He doesn't look like he has been in a car crash everytime he is in any kind of contact though.
Craig Hall has played half as many games as Webster but is only behind him by 1 on both tries scored and created.
Say what you want but Craig Hall has been given the messy end of the stick and Webster will play no matter what.

Couldn't agree more. IMO it's another reason to let Morgan go, because his blatant favouritism such as this is having a very detrimental affect on the team and consequently results. No room for it in what is supposed to be a professional set-up.

Spot on if your face fits your ok,if not your banished to the reserves no matter what you do.

With Hall in the team we won 1 and lost 5 in SL. Without him we are a slightly more acceptable 4 & 5. He's just one member of a team and individual stats may be a fairer way to judge a player, but results are the only important stat. Not saying he shouldn't be given another shot, but tbh if it were my job on the line I'd currently go with Welham and Webster in the centres.

Could you cite some examples of this blatant favouritism? It's just that I'm not seeing it. Why would Morgan pick inferior players when his livelihood is on the line? The only person he'd be punishing is himself - if he is that petty and stupid, then he must be one hell of a coach in other respects!

1. Webster been guaranteed a starting 13 spot as long as he's fit
2. Colbon always playing whenever fit, regardless of performances
3. The likes of Clinton Vella, Newton and Galea been guaranteed places even when out of form

Morgan's livelihood is not on the line IMO - he will never be sacked. What other explanation can there be apart from favouritism for Hall never getting a look in? He's a class act who could greatly help change our horrendous way of playing at the moment. I can't remember the last time it was so Edit-RW boring watching Hull KR play. Webster is just not upto playing full games in SL anymore IMO, Hall I feel is.

the only way well know if Craig Hall is worth giving a chance to, is to give him that chance and see what he can do, SIMPLES.....
