There's room for both types of winger....Hall has great finishing prowess with men to run through but will never be able to finish like Donald [iwithout[/i men to run through.

The contrasting styles of the equally brilliant Alan Smith and John Atkinson epitomised that.

You are right 2 absolute brilliant wingers and maybe not too disimilar to BJB and Hall. Although Atkinson and Smith for me every time.
I was actually friendly with John so maybe I am biased and yes I am name dropping

i hope for superleague sake that leeds dont sign reed because the hall reed combination looks deadly.

Heard that Wigan were interested in Reed. However, somebody pointed out earlier that he has a 2 yr contract with the Broncos. Another two years playing in the NRL and he should be the finished article.

I'd be amazed if we're not interested as well and the Rhinos have lots of room under the salary cap and he's playing alongside Hall. It's the problem of the Broncos letting him go and also whether Reed wants to leave the NRL

Rather see how his partnership with Hardaker develops, but yes he'd be a top signing for any team.

Now that I think about it, it does make sense ha.

I doubt Reed will want to leave the NRL any time soon. Financially he'll be at least as well off staying put.

What he has shown is the value of a centre who has the ability and composure to decide when to use his winger. This is a huge contrast to so many centres selected for England/GB recently, where the defence only had to cover the centre, as passing to the wing would almost be the last option. I still don't understand how Sl can produce so many centres who have absolutely no idea how to set up their winger.
