Ryan hall will leave Leeds rhinos at the end of the season

Sydney Rorters according to The Mole

He`s been a good un for you guys and for England.

Hope he goes on to play a few seasons in Sydney, he deserves a big contract towards the end his career.

It's an unsurprising loss, at least it's to the NRL.

My worry is that we will replace him with dross and continue to spend less and less.
With so many big names leaving / left in the last few years and others surely coming to the end of their careers we need to start long term rebuilding now,and not too late like we did with halfback and hooker.

He's been here through thick and thin, feast and famine.

Im sure no one here begrudges Hally getting hopefully a nice payday and a crack at the NRL.

Still hurts to see him go though, the melon.

Despite match results he definitely seems to be going through both thick and feast at the moment.

I think he will go great in the NRL, just do what he does best, smash the ball hard out of defence and crash over from 5 metres. Good luck to the man from me.

Unless he is planning to emigrate there, I suspect he will be back bu July 2019. Only personal opinion, but can not see him making it down there. Not as a winger anyway.

I would be surprised if he got a big payday in the NRL, he wouldn't be in the top 10 wingers in that comp, and age isn't on his side.

Why would he not make it as a winger in the NRL? Ryan has consistently put in good performances against Australia and New Zealand at international level as well as in Super League.

With a salary cap around double Super League, it’s likley he will get a substantial pay rise.

The dollar is only at 1.7ish to the pound aswell so on paper will be earning more, although having lives in Sydney for 3 years, most of his salary will be eaten up in paying rent!

Where is Ferguson going?

He's far too slow for that comp. Again only IMO of course. However, like many before him in the NRL he could easily switch position to the backrow and then the pace becomes and asset.

Parramatta I believe

Doubt he's slower than Pat Richards and he did alright on his return. Also sure that any team signing him will know what they're getting. Best in the world at what he does

Wayne Bennett is very keen on signing him for Brisbane, and he knows exactly what halls about.

With respect that's nonsense. You rarely see any wingers in broken field in the NRL so raw pace is not a must, for wingers it's pretty much all about being able to finish in traffic close to the line, bringing the ball back and being solid in defence. All things Hall is very good at.

I do think for the NRL to have seen the best of Ryan hall he should have gone circa 2012 but he will still go down well imo even past his very best.

Not sure what NRL you are watching, with respect but it certainly doesn’t sound like the matches every week on sky. There is some super quick mobile wingers in the NRL, whom also have benefit of size, and they show these talents very often.

I also very much doubt Hall will not be found out in his weakness of defensive kicks over there. They often utilise that high kick at end of sets.

Yet the best of the best in the NRL have not been able to exploit 'his weakness' in 30-odd tests. Hall has proven time and time again he is more than a match for his Aussie counterparts on the international scene.

Yes he's not an out and out flyer like an Addo-Carr, but he is still a super winger, and will do perfectly well in the NRL I'm sure.

I am the first to say how far ahead the NRL is from Super League, but there are certain players over here who would still excel in the NRL - Hall is definitely one of those in my opinion, if not, he'd have struggled at international level against them.

But Hall's game has never been built around pace, he was never a speedster. As superted says, Hall has nearly always looked on of the best three quarters on the pitch in games against Australia and NZ since he started playing internationals and he was still fantastic in the WC despite being outside a back rower. We will soon see anyway.

He isn*t switching codes is he?

I think he'll be back quickly too but purely down to the culture of Sydney. He's a bright lad and I think he'll struggle with it.

Good luck to him - Ryan has been a brilliant servant to the club.

I guess Danny McGuire's try record is safe for a while

Off to Cas apparently. Hardaker's wages plus more

It is at the very highest level.

Did you watch State of Origin series ? Valentine Holmes scored two 90-metre interception tries and Tom Trbojevic got another.
