| Craig Hall will never be great. He's a victim hype, almost akin to Tommy Lee (except Craig isn't a d!ck).
Craig Hall has the ability to score some good individual tries but he lacks the head strength and key skills to become very good, let alone great.
Good luck to him, where ever he ends up.

| He's shown great loyalty towards Hull FC. I have no problem with that as long as the lad is professional enough to give his best efforts when playing for us. As far as I'm aware he's never been one of those players who has set out to antagonize the opposing fans. I would have a problem if someone like that came over. For the game as a whole rather than just for Rovers I hope he's a success. I think he has massive talent but is lacking mental toughness. If he overcomes that he could make great strides in the game.

Agree mate,to be fair if he does come to Rovers I can`t see him giving less than 100%.Whether that is good enough remains to be seen.

Just think. All those Craig Hall threads I've started over the years and he finally signs and I've missed the boat...

| Poor winger but could be a decent centre and Fb if Morgan can improve his allround game, people go on about his defence which is poor, but over ther last 3 seasons apart form the odd moment of magic, his handling and decision making with the ball has been disapointting.
Be interesting to see how he gets along.

| Just as an aside to the Hall thing, the bit about signings at the bottam of the article in the mail quotes the Mason signing and that Green is subject to visa, does this mean Mason has his already?

It looks like he is making excuses TBH, loads of times he went for the wrong option or just missed his man like he did on welham in the derby at CP.
From what I saw last season Hull's defence was better than Rovers.

Hull may have let in marginally less points but this could be masked a little by the two drubbings Saints dished out on Rovers. That said they scored more points than Hull and finished the regular season with a + points difference. Hull didn't.
Taking both defence and attack into consideration i'd have Hally in my team everyday of the week and twice on a Sunday. ALL centres get caught out but Craigs errors were magnified by a bitter set of fans who blow them out of all proportion looking to apportion blame for thier teams failings.
He needed a coach who belived in him and a team structure that suits his attacking style of play. Seems he has both now.

I know you are Craig's biggest fan (and maybe even his dad), but the last paragraph is rubbish, some fans I agree do blame him for everything, I quite like him, when he came onto the scene he looked like the real deal and old type centre with great feet, pace and good hands, unfortunateley in 3 seasons and over 70 games he just hasn't done it, far too mnay errors in attack and defence.
I still stand by the point that Hull's defence was better than Rovers last year (hull took some good beating also, Wigan x2 and Leeds), Rovers attack is far better than Hull's, nobofy cab argue with that and maybe Hall will flourish in a more attacking team. I hope when you play us next season you have Welham and Hall in the centres.

You assume all Hall's errors are in defence, he makes more with ball in hand tbh. The amount of times he just switches off and drops an easy ball and throws a silly pass or takes the wrong option is numerous.
What Hall needs to do is to start taking some responsibility and start delivering, he might do that at Rover and he might not.

Two seasons ago I would have paid him to leave, but he has really improved in his defence work and puts in some massive hits when defending his line. He isn't as quick as Hall, but I think his brain is quicker and he reads the game around our kick attack moves very well. You may relish Hall being our centre, but Welhams defence is now very good, which is maybe what Morgan is aiming to do with Hall, if he can get him defending like Welham does, he will be an asset to us with his pace and attacking skills.
I am still to be convinced about Hall, but he is here now and I am confident he will be receiving a far higher standard of coaching and conditioning at Rovers, so if he cannot do it here, he won't do it anywhere.
