There you have it Dave.

Ironically had Yeaman been fit, Hall would have probably played full-back!!!!

thought craig played really well last night, assertive in defence and got his shoulder in which i think was his main problem, good on the kid, came back and proved a point, just hope he kicks on from here

I'd be tempted to leave Hally there, play G Horne right centre, Whiting at 13 and when Yeamo is back he can play in the 2nd row.

Craig is an out and out centre always has been and always will be. He is potentially top class as most of us already know. My guess though is when Yeaman is back he'll be back at left centre and god knows where Craig will play.

I also find it amusing that Craig has been messed about by Agar and his devensive development hasnt been supported etc. Spending a month playing for Paul Cullen who has been knocked by most fans on here seems to have given him the belief and technical development defensively that he needed.

No he wouldn't he would have played right centre and Rich Whiting would have played Fullback

!

I did say probably not definately





With so many players lacking position specifics at Hull its difficult to predict any starting line up.

Hall and Yeaman in the centres and Whiting at 13 would be my choice, but Radford at 13 has been such a success, it's unlikely.

The way I see it........He is a SL player and was playing SL style in a team of lower league pro's......He will have stood out and probably made Toa Khoe Love look average (he may be just that by now anyway????) but Craigs confidence will have been boosted by supporters that will have welcomed him as a 'saviour' rather than a load of whinging scapegoat finders like FC fans have become these last two years. Hally cas matured during his spell at Widnes and it showed last night with a 'never say die' approach for 80mins.......Well Done

Well done Craig, clearly his spell in gods town has done him good.

Spot on mate Whiting has to be 13 but it won't happen. Yemo and Whiting will be centres and Hall on the bench.

For us yes, but for our illustrious coach I very much doubt it. He'll probably drop him and send him back to Widnes.

Sounds like Agar deserves some credit for his handling of Hall then it would seem. Hall had lost hs confidence when playing fullback so taking him out of the limelight and then loaning him to Widnes seems to have really helped him.

That actually, dare I say it, sounds like good coaching.

Where is the evidence for that? He actually spent most of the week training with Hull.

Very true



There is evidence to suggest that Agar has handled the Hall situation pretty well. He was asked to play FB for the team when we had a crisis there and struggled. Obviously a confidence player he was taken out of the firing line as soon as was possible with the playing staff available. Sounds like he has bought into the Widnes loan spell and shown a great attitude to that and his subsequent return. Playing NL was a good place for him to regain confidence. If Craig continues to improve and undertake his responsibilites to do so he will be a good footballer.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

That's much more believable

Coach believing in him makes a big difference for his development.

So why did Wire win fookall despite spending big money and why is Penny in NL1?

I would say playing at a lower level makes a difference, it gave him back his confidence.

At the end of the day Craig isnt a fullback... his best rugby has been played in the centres!! but you have to play were the coach puts you to get in the team whether you like it or not, but i believe hes give his all in every game!

In danger of saying something positive about Agar which isn't the plan but Hall didnt actually spend that much time training with Widnes, he was with Hull most of the time still.
