not see the game against KR the week before the WCC??



Let's not get all carried away now. He has improved since coming into the team but could be finding himself out of the team when webb is back fit, although I feel he's done enough to earn a run ahead of watkins.

Do you have any more examples?



No that would be difficult as you've already covered every time he did that last season albeit he did it to good effect that once.

My thoughts also.

Where would you play him?

It wasnt my thread





I just thought I would give my view on Mr Smith. It was deleted anyway for some reason. Im assuming for what was said before and not what we said. Unless he gave McF or SS a call to tell 'em

Sorry about that (my mistake), it must have been your 'I normally find a way to defend referees to the hilt but.....' line that made me think it was yours.

Now? On the wing. I expect he'll move in field later in his career, one spot or probably too.

I really can't see Hall making a decent 2nd rower at all. Does not drive the ball in hard enough and often stops or braces himself for contact. Not a problem for a winger, fatal for a 2nd rower.



I'd rather work on his pace and keep a big sized winger.



You all remind me of Steve Mcnamara playing Topou in the front row.



If Menninga or Miles played for Leeds you'd have had the propping.

Agree with G1. Just because he's a reasonable sized lad doesn't mean he'll make a good second rower. He's a really good winger IMO, who's usually very solid, takes his chances and will only improve with time.

As alluded to by others, I don't think his size and comparative lack of speed are all that bad in a modern winger. If we've got someone, like Donald, with pace on the opposite flank I think the combination can be effective, a la Calderwood and Bai in 2004.



I'm still to be convinced he'll go on to have a long career with Leeds, but he's progressing nicely and can very, very easily prove me wrong.



One thing that has impressed me is his attitude. I remember him having a stinker away in Perpignan last July, where he made quite a few mistakes under the high ball, but he came back the next week in the cup semi and never really put a foot wrong, despite Saints peppering him with high balls early on.

Or for the older ones amongst us Atkinson and Smith.

Out and out winger for mine, he has the minimum speed required for a SL winger and has a good build, he's still young and will only get bigger and better, the few dropped balls are something that every young winger/full back goes through.
