The halves being...?

Doubt it, the fact that Thorman went there today should tell you who most likely candidate for the full back spot is.

I actually think Craig Hall could make a very good full back with good coaching. He has the attributes but makes bad errors which need coaching out of him.
Can't see that happening in the near future though

Thorman went there temporarily presumably because of his Hudds experience. He's not a fullback, though, and by his own admittance doesn't like it there.

We are in a seriously bad situation now, though, with regards to our backs now Tom's hurt. We really need a proper date for Motu and Raynor's returns - they need to be soon or we need alternatives quick.

R.Horne
Calderwood
Yeaman
G.Horne
Hall
Washy/Whiting
Thorman

You can't coach bravery.
That is his main problem I think, he is windy.

And when one of them gets hurt next?

Our barrel nearly has a hole in the bottom.

Lee and Thorman.

Spot on. He's been heavily involved in most of our rare efforts at decent rugby in the last 4 games, and key in most tries. The fact of it is he is simply not big/strong enough for fullback and gets knocked about in the tackle too much.

you started a craig hall thread


naughty naughty

No, he conceded a drop out because he weighs about 10 stone and was up against at least 3 tacklers. He'll always struggle to bring the ball out until he bulks up a bit more.



I think you could apply that to almost all of the players and definitely the coaching staff.

Agreed

you lot are a set of fickle 2@s,

Back onto Craig Hall

It was his pass that let to your first try!

Yes he dropped a lot of ball but so did many, he also had some very dodgy passes

Is Craig Hall your new Tommy Lee?

Oh No He Had A Good Game so your off his back for a week or until Monday

craig hall showed why he isnt a fullback with his stupid errors and his dection to move like a crab on our own line was just very silly but who the hell can replace him

we cant have thorman or horne at fullback cause it will breake up the half back pairing

whiting isnt fast enough (what that has to do with being a fullback i dont know)

Yeah we wouldn't want to break up that creative partnership now would we!!

Tell you what we need at fullback, and its a pretty simple thing really.

The ability to catch a ball.
Stand in the correct place.

Anything else would be a bouns at the moment!

whiting or thorman for me

thought thorman did good at fullback tbh

That's spot on and it's made more obvious when he's on his own at the back.

Not often I agree with a Rovers fan, but becoming too predictable. Hall has speed and vision and a rare commodity in the Hull team at present some creativity, but needs to calm down and stop the basic errors nerves or trying too hard, is that a crime? Also a few easter eggs won't do him any harm

Hall is too laid back for the full back roll
seemed to be yaking his time with no urgency in his play when going back for a ball.
Watch Briscoe and you see a player who defends his line with speed and commitment.

Hall is/could be a great player BUT he will never be a full back

play him in his best position at centre, thorman to FB, whiting to LF, lee to 7, g horne to donny

what we do well at hullfc is play players out of there natural positions and hall will never be a full back no balls and weighs 2 stone wet through and will make a centre i hope because he has good speed and hands

i felt a little sorry for Craig Hall, Rovers kick chase was spot on, meaning he had little time to get into his stride, whereas Hull seemed a little slow at the chase, Briscoe, Fox and Colbon were allowed to make easy yards bringing it back.
Hall needs to find a position and stay there

Spot on with everything you say there

No one has mentioned that one of his dropped balls was from a terrible Richard Horne pass. Hally didnt do a lot wrong for me.
