Its not respecting others opinions that leads to the petty squabbling, no one ever suggested otherwise

Hall yes reminds me of Alan Smith....not the fastest but great strength, hand off and finishing ability.
Hall and Donald were more recently like the new "A.Smith and Atkinson"...with Hall on the RW of course. Briscoe errs more towards the A.Smith mould too and surely cannot be compared to the silky 'classic winger' attributes of Atkinson.
Now if only we had kept hold of Jodie Broughton....Hall and Broughton could have been the new "A.Smith and Atkinson"

| When Senior and Danny do it they both have made it so obvious ,
On another point Briscoe has a long way to go to be on a par with Smith or Atkinson

| The first hall try was typical of hall quality strong finisher and one of only a few wingers who would have scored there. For me personally didn't think briscoe had a bad game at all and in my opinion there are a few people who cannot wait to get their claws into him and look for his negatives. The kick off was equal blame for all 3. Hardaker first then both peacock and briscoe both equally to blame neither made it their ball.
I am quite happy with both our wingers and they both offer good go forward giving our props a bit of a breather at times coming from our own line. I know all wingers do this but ours are the most effective in the league at it.
On the game enjoyed the team performance. Peacock gave his usual big game stint. Sinfield and mags controlled the game well with mags making more right choices passing wise than he has for a while. Burrow looked dangerous running. And for me Carl Ablett is the quality back row in the league, does a ton of work, tackles back and carts ball forward.

I think he has a lot more skill than he gets to show as well, but have followed ablett form the youth team days, when I used to watch all the academy games and always thought he would make a great player. Think he is very underated by opposition fans, although I have noticed in the last few years he is getting more credit from oppo fans

| Quote ="Tony Soprano"Personally I think Hall is more than capable of scoring that try, the ball bounced up nicely for him, Briscoe is quicker than Hall but Hall has gone that distance plenty of times and also has a very good hand-off
I dont think we have seen the very best of Briscoe in a leeds shirt just yet but I do think they are the best wing partnership in the league'"
It wasn't the distance why that try was scored, it was the speed off the mark that got that try, and the reason why many, including Hall wouldn't have got to the point of switching hands to make the hand off. Others would have being tackled in that first 20 yards.

Poor effort by Peacock on that kick-off. Appeared to be going for the ball, then pulled out of it. Even worse was that he then turned around and gave Briscoe a massive spray like it was all his fault. For a player like Briscoe who seems to be struggling for confidence at the moment, that won't have helped.

Hall is defo the new Smithy... unstoppable at times form 10 yards out.
Briscoe reminds me rather of a young Atky signed from Roundhay RU IIRC and who was prone to standing out of position at times and making the odd BO-BO.
