Nominated for the Golden Boot award with James Graham and Sam Tomkins, aswell as Johnathon Thurston, Cameron Smith and Darren Lockyer.

How much does Ryan Hall weigh? Sure I've read 95 kg somewhere, which is much less than Graham/Peacock.

As for wingers switching right and left, I honestly can't think of many who were equally effective on both sides of the field.

he is potentially the best finisher we've seen since Robinson and Offiah and that is some great company to mentioned with. Granted i dont watch Leeds week in week out but would you say he has the ability to change a game from your own half through individual brilliance ala Carney against you guys a few years back, Offiah at wembley, or is he more of an outstanding finisher 10-20 yards out due to his power and explosive speed ??

My bad! This is the sort of trouble you can get into when you start to believe the crap you hear/read in the media.

He is actually between 12-13 kilos lighter than them according to that incredibly reliable encyclopaedic website.

hall knows his strenghts and uses them to the teams advantage, most wingers/full backs are smaller and struggle to stop him in full flight so they either need excellent technique or help from the cover defence
i wouldnt put him in the lightning quick mould of donald or put him above richards at trying to catch an attacking kick but he's probably a all round better player than both

what does bode well for both leeds and england is that he's a intelligent player that knows he needs to keep improving and not some big headed look ive made it guy

You clearly havent seen Vatuvei's catching ability

I never had any problems, I was about as good on the left as I was on the right.

Or the fact that Blake Ferguson (although very exciting to watch) is a complete liability. Terrible defensive decision making and is guaranteed at least one major brain fart per game. Good exciting player, but not a patch on Hall at the moment. And as for Pat Richards - give it a rest.

Brett Morris (who was not mentioned), Nightingale and Uate I can see why people may put Hall behind these, although I'd actually say he's pretty much on a par with them. Big Manu can be awesome on his day, but equally he is very one dimensional and can be made ineffective (a la fat les).

I'm delighted that we have him at Leeds.
But clearly he'd be even better in the centre or the second row.

Now you're just being silly.

I'm glad you got the reference.
Lots won't.

Hall is wasted on the wing.

Is that an aeronautical reference?

Not intentionally this time but it still depends how you choose to read it.
