With the skill of the other two i'd say 2nd row for sure, he'd be in my team without a doubt!

Just had one bad feeling remember the last Hall we got from Hull FC

that 0mph winger in SL days! lol.

He's got the potential to be a superb player even if he does play for them

Yep good player is Craig

Welcome to Widnes mate.

Plenty of pace there and 3 goalkickers!!! but pretty lightweight compared to some backlines in this division.

Need a better fullback IMO, Yates is too lightweight for me and makes too many mistakes.

Bit blunt but i agree.

No need to panic yet though, Doddy has been in good form of late.

it says on the doncaster forum were after someone called leaf. anyone know if he is any good.

Think his names Shaun Leaf, no idea if he's any good or not. Sad situation for the dons though.


And we all know how they feel.

It's all very well bringing in these supposedly classy attacking backs but until our pack stops getting walloped into the middle of next week every game we play they're going to be completely ineffective.

Not a bad player is Leaf but not the standard we should be looking for. Hall on the other hand is a top signing in this league. Dare I say it that he could well be the best centre / full back in the Championship.

i agree i think we need bigger and stronger running forwards
a big daft ptop is what we need someone like frank watene or john fallon from featherstone
im not saying we should buy these players far from it just that type though

I know exactly what you mean, it's the aggression up the middle that we're missing.

Would still keep Yates as he is till only young but he's still got a bit to learn before he will establish himself as a starting full back every week.

For all the critisisers of Yates and I am not one, he is the strongest tackler in that line-up. Unless their tackling tecnique improved greatly those 4 backs would ship a heck of a lot of tries in.

I also believe that Yates is a good fullback and on his day he makes very little mistakes
maybe drops a few under the high ball now and again but these young players need a chance
I also agree but the defence of those players
Tyrer and Hall aren't the best of defenders so maybe just go with the one of those and maybe keep Dodd at centre because he looks an impressive tackler when given the chance
