Seems like agar has made up his mind about Hall now and he won't get a look in even when we're down to playing a loanee from leeds (who has never been deemed good enough to play in their 1st team). Big mistake from agar for me but given the situation should we be trying to move him on?

It's a major failing from agar IMO that he hasn't nurtured our best attacking threat in a better way

Certainly seems Agar has something against him when Thorman is still getting selected.

Have you been monitoring Craig Hall's performances in the reserves?

Yup. Agar needs to go, he is ruining our club.

letting Craig Hall go will be a decision we regret. Get him in the centres, move Whiting up to LF, drop Radford,

SIMPLES

No, but the kid isn't being looked after as he should be. If he's kicking his heels in the reserves whilst agar is picking broughton week in, week out, what is hall going to do?

I wouldnt drop Radford, i'd just name him as one of the 2 starting props or a 2nd rower and play a proper 13.

From what I've heard he's been doing pretty well. Seems to be one of the stand-out players and is kicking quite a few goals.

And I agree about moving Radford into the 2nd Row. I've been saying that myself for ages.

Hall to centre, Whiting to 13, worth a shot surely.

I don't understand what Agar is doing with Hall.

Never really added up with me as to why Craig Hall signed a 2 year extension last year under Agar if he wasn't rated by our coach. Baffles me why he has seen so little game time of late when our results in the main have been p*ss poor to say the least.

He is a exciting attacking talent also at the same time he does seem to make some silly mistakes alot more than some youngsters at the club.It's a hard situation with craig because his talent is there but just feel he really needs to take his chances . I just think whiting is playing well with calderwood at the moment so why change it ?

Broughton isn't being picked week in week out. I believe he's played one game? Craig Hall is a great prospect for the future, but i don't think he is ready. He isn't strong enough in defence, and gives away possession too easily with either mistakes or awful decision making.
I like Craig Hall, but I don't know how his performances in the reserves have been, and it seems like not many people on here do either. In this case i believe Agar knows best

Can't disagree but why name a leeds loanee in the 19 man squad and not Hall? agar should have seen what playing FB was doing to Hall's game the first time he had a wobble instead of playing him another 2 or 3 times and crucifying him.

Compare to thorman, Hall's performances have been good

I haven't heard much about him in the reserves, but he won't be kicking goals for the first team. Not in the near future anyway.

broughton is in the 19 man squad every week

Oh i see your point.
Is Broughton playing in the hull reserves?

Nope.
Hall plays week-in, week-out at left centre in the reserves, though.


Also, an injured Stuart Reardon, who hadn't gone as far as to complete a medical for the club was picked ahead of Hall.

money simple as! hes on a gd contract here!. but yes why the hell isnt he being picked!

I think that he'd rather be playing than on good money and playing in the reserves each week. He could get the same money at several other clubs, but the difference is that they would play him.

Well i would say it is more Richard Agar's dislike of not playing Radford at 13, instead of his dislike of Hall.

Does hall get a bonus if he has a certain amount of apperances - just a thought

You can't say that, how do you know.
Perhaps he wants to stay at Hull because he is from Hull? Did you think of that? lol

A good thing about Hall not playing is that my friend who I go to the games with is "in love" with him (don't ask me why), so I get to rib her about it every week.
The highlight of a depressing 80 minutes.

If he wants to stay in Hull though he may as well go look for another job, as long as agar plate's here.

And I reckon that teams like Crusaders, Salford, or most teams with a good coach would be willing to have him. He has potential, and under the right coaching he could be a good player.

However, under our coaching....

id play him at 6 and Horne at 7, leave Whiting where he is for now
