Ah cliques again. I love all these cliques that people refer to that don't actually exist. So no rumour then, thought not!

Not with me

If only i was allowed to post my feelings

I don't think so. I know that most RL fans are fickle, but just because you've witnessed your lot make a colossal U-turn over Craig Hall doesn't mean we'd do the same for Bailey. Put aside the fact that the guys an enormous pudding that never runs his weight and has the tackling technique of a drunkard, but he's also a simpleton and a thug. The usual club apologists would defend the signing, but the majority would almost certainly stay disgruntled.

Perfectly summed up.

I really dont want him at my club, i dont want to fund him, just like when we signed his accomplice Dwayne Barker.

Hell why not offer Chev a contract and reunite them all

Spot on.

Yep.

I prefer 'adaptive strategy' to 'fickle'.



The usual malcontents would attack the signing, but the majority would almost certainly still buy a season ticket.



You and droolers are clearly among those who feel mostly strongly about it - would you [useriously[/u consider not renewing your pass?

Will your droolers buy passes now you have Craig Hall

Seems to be well liked as a person. The worst the quota base could come with on him as a player was 'skinny', 'weak' and 'decision making is poor', hardly requires crisis of conscious to hope he bulks up a bit, gets stronger and makes better choices.

I've always been a big fan of Hall. I dont think he's as weak as people say, i do however think that he continually makes the errors around his decision making. We've been trying to get him to make better defensive choices for example for a number of years, no doubt Justine will succeed in 3 months of pre-season training.

They are too busy buying tickets for the Gollum Lloyd show in Hammonds window

The biggest thing with Craig Hall is just keeping his confidence up. He can put in some good performances when his confidence is good, but his head goes down easily. He's undoubtedly got good attacking flair, but his confidence is what lets him down the most. His defence isn't the best, and he often rushes out of the line for an offload, but that can and should be worked on.
The main thing is just making him believe in himself.

It would certainly be a talking point if he did succeed in improving him.

Certainly would, but Hull did all they could for him to succeed and overcome his many negatives. He ran his course at Hull, but who knows elsewhere.

But we can't really know either way on that for sure.

On what?

That Hull did all they could for him to be a success. You could argue that if he does succeed anywhere else, there must have been something we missed. Likewise, it could just be a coincidence of timing or the kick up the backside of being released that triggers any potential improvement. The only person who'll ever know for sure if he could have done better at Hull and how/why is Craig Hall himself.

Maybe.

He has been playing in the first team since 2007, so 4 years is a considerable amount of time to develop his playing at Super League level.

Time will tell anyway!

Dowes has had 8 and Radford 9 and we're still awaiting their development, and they've NEVER shown the glimpses of brilliance that Hall did.

Different players and roles, though. I agree with what you're saying in a way, but they also haven't made the blunders that Hall did. Swings and roundabouts.

Radford makes more tackles in a game than Hall does in a season.

Trying to compare forwards and backs is a non starter.

Don't really rate Cockayne, but Barrymore as CEO. Now that is a superb move by the club.

He'll renew alright, but trust me when I say we are all getting a little riled.

Sorry, did you miss expro's so called prank with the HDM and blunderside? You know, the one where he told his little clique about it. I even hear there were some mods involved. Either there is a clique or he was lying about others knowing.

As for the rumour then it's just that isn't it. No point in people getting upset over rumours unless they're true.
