Did we miss him as an un used sub? will people have a go at Agar like the last time he unsued a sub?

Agar made the correct decision...

Not really. I would prefer the coach to play the game in front of him rather then make changes for changes sake. I would say our backs played very well in the second half and we clearly had the momentum so bringing Hall on may just have disrupted that.

correct decision from agar, hall is very unpredictable in defence and taking a back off when they was all having their best game for a long time would have been suicide, iv been an agar nocker, and i said in other posts if we won 3 out of 4 against cats cas saints and salford then il give credit, as i wanted him to turn it round, well i have to say well done agar for what ever was said at half time, very clever interchanges at vital times and and well done to all the players for responding and playing the brand of rugby our great club wants to see, passion, enthusiasm, never say die attitude, skill and mean defence especially in the second half, and danny houghton gets huge praise as every time graham drove the ball in he did his best to target houghton and he stood his ground and never let him win the floor, he is turning into a top quality hooker in d and attack, hope that type of performance is hear to stay.

whiting obviously thought he was on the pitch as his winger

i woulden't have put Hall on as i simply don't have confidence in his abilities in such a tense and loud atmosphere, he'd have been highly likely to knock-on, fall over and generally mess up.

which is why I don't think we should retain him

contract talks seem to revolve around houghton,fitz,and tickle(looks to be failing on getting him to sign tho').it seems to have gone quiet with hall.

They should be the top 3 priorities. As has been said already, though, I'd hope the club has a straight answer from Tickle and if it's no, that we're moving on. Sounds like we've made him a decent offer, if he wants to go, good luck to him - been a very good player for us.

i would hope that he has been given some sort of 'deadline' to either accept or decline a new deal,so we can put the feelers out for a new 2nd rower,unless the club think we are suitably covered as it is?

I agree. He played well against Salford in attack and defence so, hopefully, it will continue.

It's funny, but I'm sure someone said with complete certainty that there was an announcement due this week confirming his departure to Rovers...

Rumours, eh

I wonder if Hull see it as a money saving option for a winger/centre cover next year to replace Calders. If he COULD sort his defence out, and its easier as a winger, he is a very good attacking option.

I always had a nagging doubt that releasing him could come back to haunt us, I didnt have any of those doubts on the players we released last season.

although i like calders...hall would be a good wing option..cheap, fast and a good finisher...defence is bab, no doubt..if he could sort that GAME ON..

Rather have Calders and his "chasing back 60 metres to make a tackle" attitude thanks.

cant argue with that, but dont u think that calders attitude actually comes with the fact if he chases back he can tackke the man!!


all im saying is, we could realease calders and save alot of moey on the cap with hall on the wing....and he would do a good job, as far as im concerned hall is the only man at fc who can do something "off the cuff"...

He might be staying, cue loads of backtracking that he's half decent

Some of us thought that anyway and would no matter which club he played for.



Hally has lots to work on to become a regular first choice SL player though.

I think it's his time to move on, maybe a season at Widnes before they get a licence?

Salford were after his services a couple of years back too and maybe he is lamenting the decision not to go there.

Cullen at Widnes obviously rates him as well.

2 options for me:
1. Agar backs Hall and plays him in a preferred position for a decent length of time. (never yet happened in his FC career)
2. Hall goes on loan or leaves permanently to develop his game where he'll be less exposed, top of NL1.

Likely to be a 3rd option that happens:
3. More of the same, Hall used by Agar on the right wing, right centre or at full back and then axed whenever the team plays poor.
