Yups, I agree, daft rule.

Really can't see this being true now Webster is signed on for 2 more years. Craig would in effect be in almost exactly the same position with us as he is with FC, 3rd or 4th choice centre behind Webster, Welham and maybe Ratu.

Looking at our fed (non club) trained player status and the need for a 6 I think it will be highly unlikely. The only way I think it will come off is if Liam Colbon doesn't re-sign for us and we move Webbo to the wing and put Hall on his inside, not the right move tho'.

I cant see us being in for him now with Webster re-signing, I know he aint been happy with the way he has been treated by Agar. Maybe a move to Cas could be on the cards if Shenton leaves.

if he does come lets hope he is half has good has is dad

I think he would be a decent signing for you. A definate improvement on Whelam if thats were you intend on playing him. Hall is one of the most gifted players we've had a Hull for while, he can do things and score tries that no one else can do or even dare to try. His defence isn't as bad as people make out either, his stength actually defies how skinny he is and he come up with some real solid one on one shots to get us out of trouble a few times this year. His only problem is his decision making, he makes bad reads in defence and seems to want to try for the magic play every time he has the ball. You would think these are things that will improve in time but this is his 4th year in the first team and we havn't seen much improvment at all in this respect.

I don't know if it was mentioned in jest or not earlier but would he make a running 6 type player (Leon Pryce type) , have FC ever tried him there? He looks to have the pace and step for it, not sure about his ball playing ability and any form of kicking game?

Can't wait for the "Hally, Hally!" chants at the derby. Remember that 6-42 game when the full North Stand (and lot of the West) was chanting Shaun Briscoe's name after the news had leaked of his upcoming signing.

Yeah he was and was positionally quite poor. That said, Rhys was like a Pamplonian bull that day and would have taken some stopping by anyone.

Think Craig Hall could be a fantastic player and may still turn out to be, but he does always seem to be just out of reach of his potential.

Defence is a major problem for Hall, especially he stupid efforts of coming out of the line early. But when he breaks he is a damn good try scorer.

Don't mind he is stays or goes at the moment to be honest, perhaps a change of scenery will do him good.

He has played at 6 twice for us. Once at Headingly, when he had a very good first half, and once at Wakey when he had a decent game. I actually think he would make a good stand-off as he has the pace and step and can certainly pass a ball with speed and accuracy. Not sure what his kicking game would be like though.

As previously mention by others he has bags of potential but he just hasn't kicked on IMO. I'd love him to turn into a top class centre, whatever club he ends up at, as its a position we are really weak in for England.

i do feel that this would bea bad move for craig hall, his father was well liked and an excellent player for hkr, and this will put a lot of pressure straight onto craigs shoulders for one, trying to live with is father`s reputation.
this is not an easy thing to do at all. so for this reason alone , i believe it would be a bad move for him.
