How much extra are FC paying him in his new contract sounds very similar to the Yeaman situation to me.
Anyway how is he going for you

Give over Jake Webster had and probably still has him in him back pocket to the point Yeaman looked like a rabit in headlights when he knocked the ball on early on and obviously thought 'I don't want that' with Jakey bearing down on him.
Infact I belive he may have done that twice

Sounds like bollox again to me.

Whereas Chev Walker..

Spot on.

Whilst many Rovers fans are happy to laugh at Hull signing Hall, we all recognise he's got great potential in attack and blindingly obvious defensive weaknesses. Maybe he'll make it, maybe not, but the reality is that the overseas quota reduces each year so clubs are going to have to take more of a punt with British players rather then stuff the squad to breaking point with Aussies. Hall is a relatively cheap gamble in this respect and Hull's approach in retaining its best academy players (even if they're not world-beaters) is done with future squad structure requirements in mind and should be applauded IMO.

What, the player who made one, scored one and probably saved one against his side's biggest rivals? Surely you jest...?

So you have given him a new contract and have admitted that other clubs have been looking at him and risked not giving him a pay increase!!
Fair enough

You're confident he'll play for England in the World Cup then?

Chev Walker > Craig Hall.

I'd wouldn't have minded Craig at Rovers, has the potential to be a good player, but at the moment can't see him being anywhere near our starting line up. Good move for him to stay in West Hull as he's getting regular game time which he wouldn't get with a current top 6 club. Best of luck to him.

It's called investment for the future. Before long you'll need to have 6 fewer overseas players than you currently have. Top British players will be at a premium, so developing and retaining your own academy players is the way forward. Not all will make it, but you've got to be in it to win it, so to speak.

Damn, hope the club knows this too.

It's clear they do. Look at how you took the opportunity to give I'Anson an extended run in the first team with Cooke's ban and Murrell's injury. And took the chance to promote from within to get to the standard overseas quota when Webster was injured.

Chev walker is the worst centre in SL, he can't defend to save his life, and it looks like his ball retention is even worse. Craig Hall is twice the centre he is already and he still needs to work on a lot of his game.

PUT IT THIS WAY HE HAS SIGNED ANOTHER CONTRACT!!!

REALLY, WHEN?

Coming from someone who has Kirk 'one season wonder' Yeaman in thier team

I refered to a conversation i had in France back in Feb when i was told by Paul Lakin that Craig Hall was not being looked at as a potential signing before i made that post.

I suppose James Rule told you Rovers had tabled a bid then

He also said Cooke was innocent

It's fair to say most Rovers fans believe we haven't seen the best of Chev. However he's disappointingly racked up twice as many tries as the badge kisser and has only missed two more tackles than him. Given that the badge kisser is known for his defence that suggests to me that Chev is far from the worst centre in SL.

I think I see your point.
i think the most ardent of rovers fans would not say that Chev has been outstanding, yet.
Craig hall for me is an enigma in a way, I am not yet sure what to make of him. Flashes of pure brilliance, flashes if stupidity. But I guess we get the chance to find out.
Oh and Yeamo, whatever anyone may think, is a great player. It is simply the negative down the middle FC tactics that are causing us issues.

I would have been happy to see us sign him. He obviously has plenty of talent and under a good coach like Morgan I think we would have seen him develop into a great centre. I hope Hull get a decent coach as I would hate to see their talented youngsters get wasted under Sharp.
