Had a very good game ran the ball back great and his positional play was fantastic to say he doesnt play there that often

Early days yet but he looked good last night, (reminded me of Ellis when he starred at fullback for the north hull eagles!

)


Been really pleased with all the young kids this year who have been given a chance, thought Tommy went well apart from mistake at the end, and think he might get another run next week.

I know I'm an old git and have been coming for a long time but must say............................. Hall looked asured and here's praise he looked like a young Gary Kemble.............watch this space:

Fast
elusive
and effective!

reminded you of ellis, lol. Was he drinking cider out of his water bottle during the game.

I thought he had a cracking game. Looked assured under the high ball and positioning was good considering his lack of experience at FB. Has all the attributes to make a top FB for me

Ha ha the model pro! Could ave done with 1 of them purple playing shirts last night it was freezing!

Could be our new fb if news is true what I was told about Byrne and Tony last night. Certainly had a good game last night. Looked really good attacking although wasn't tested enough defensively.

I thought Hall looked comfortable in the Full back role. Pleasing aspect for me was his communication to the defensive line, shouting and pointing to balance the defence against the attacking threat. A large part of the full back role which many seem to ignore.
Could be his position, we'll see.

or 13

I thought he did ok, the wingers need to back him up when he's caught a bomb over the line though, as he's much lighter than Tony and will get dragged over for the dropout a lot.

Ditto. He looked very handy bringing the ball back and didn't disappoint in defence either.

I also thought Tommy Lee did a lot better for being more direct and not trying some of the stupid kicks and dodgy passes that have become his trademark.

Hall has trained all pre season to play fullback . He has been told by Club that No1 is the position they see him in.

i got told he was a 2nd row

That would be down to the solid defensive line in front of him.

Without a doubt.

Thought he was very good. May get the extended run he needed now.

Would be easily the most attacking and creative FB we've had for a long time. Defensively he coped fine, he's a bit lightweight but thats the trade off for his pace and elusive running style. Could be the making of him if he gets a long run at the position.

I posted early last season that the kid should be playing full-back & all I got was slagged off!

It was certainly a very confident display by Craig. Its still early days but who knows, he could have found his natural position.

thought he had a solid game and will only get better the more he playes. he only made one mistake last night and the was jogging back for a ball insted of sprinting for it.

The guy has all of the attributes to play almost any position in the backs,he has natural flair, an eye for the gap and an uncanny ability to beat players with ease.

He had a great game last night...Long may he continue.

I hope craig gets a good run in the fullback roll ideally it would be great if he could play centre alongside calderwood in attack they would be lethal unfortunately his defence lets him in down in that area wheres as fullback he wont get caught out so much but then again if a certain mr crocker arrived he could be the making of craig hall as a centre as he would be defending out wide he would keep hall reet just has he did folau at melbourne. so basically imo michael crocker final piece of the jigsaw.

eh?

Think the poster means if Crocker arrived and played next to Hall he would take some of the pressure off Hall defending.

I'm really pleased Hall's getting a chance at fullback. He looks dangerous with ball in hand and if he becomes a useful support player, no-one will catch him. I wish he'd attack the ball more from kicks but that'll come with game time. I think we should stop hoping for Crocker now. It's really unlikely he's coming, and we've already got half the Tongan pack trying to earn a place in the side!
