Re: Craig Hall

Sandercock stated at the Fans Forum he rated Craig, and saw him in a number of positions and even hinted at 1,2 & 6.

For me Craig has come on leaps and bounds since arriving at Rovers, and the stint under Deighton's tutelage shouldnt be overlooked in the early part of last season. As a product of that I thought Craig deserved his place in the team. Every time he rec'd the ball he looked threatening. Okay he bombed quite a number of chances but I think he was instrumental in Rovers late surge, scoring some important/timely tries.

I would give Craig the No2 shirt without a shadow of doubt.

I would agree his combination with Ginge was starting to work and when Dobbo and Green get into the party with kicks that wing will profit in try scoring opertunities. I am looking forward to our backs ripping it up next season with the pack we have assembled to play behind, the speed we will have accross the back line is going to be unreal even Hodgson has a turn of pace at his age and is well matched with Webster in the strength department who is no slouch himself when he runs. So Hodgson, Webster, Mcdonnel, Ginge and Hall playing of Dobbo and Green will be a sight not many teams will relish, I can see a few long range sweeping moves next year. The influx of young and hungry forwards with their offloading ability should see a more mobile and unpredictable pack gain momentum for the backs to benifit from, I can't see Ginge running away with top try scorer this year I would guess it will be spread around the team with some of the pack chipping in a fair few points.

well nobody has a divine right to any numbered shirt

Left or right wing? He played his best rugby on the left wing last season.

Hally definately looked more comfortable on the left wing and his partnership with Welham has got the potential to be lethal. However, Dave Hodgson has played the majority of his career on the left side of the field i think.
An early situation for Sandercock to get his head around. Unless of course Sam Latus will take the right wing spot and the other two battle for the left.

or Hall plays at Full back with McDonell on the right wing?

All options are open I suppose it's about who impresses.

Those clips of McDonnell stepping and evading tacklers with runs from full back do look impressive (yes I know it's only highlights!). And Hall on the left wing at the back end of the season, well he made the Super League team of the month for September and deservedly so.

For me the one who should be worried is David Hodgson. He may be a new signing but don't think that will cut any ice with Sandercock.

Also perhaps young winger David Scott might force himself into the picture after his 2 try debut for Scotland.

Could be interesting, Pryce was a great conversion from winger to stand off and Hall is of similar stature and pace, can kick and handles well. Maybe Green to loose forward.

Didn't sandercock say on the forum that all the back will be practicing every position from 1 to 6 for next season, so there will always be cover.

So whats the latest on this proposed signing, is it done yet are waiting visa / Taluapapa issues to be sorted?

hopefully it will be announced before the players start preseason but who knows?

We'd signed him last night on the official website but not anymore

Now on offical web site he has signed two year deal.

Is it, I can't see anything?

If you search for it, you can find it - dated tomorrow. I'm half tempted to put the link, given that it is [iso[/i easy to find.
But I shan't.

against my better judgement and on account im soft here you go hullkr.co.uk/shannon-signs-up-693

I just assumed an o/seas signing would be the No1 story and it wouldn;t have required a search

its not officially announced until tomorrow morning, someone is being a bit naughty putting it on here, although saying that it shouldn`t be able to be found on the clubs website.

Great news, excited for this one!

It's dated for Saturday and is about the only article to have an 'author'......

It's only like us watching their programs more willingly upon discovering, for instance, Sofia Vergara in Modern Family or Flavia Cacace in Strictly Come Dancing.
