Hall's definitely sacrificed some leg speed for upper body strength - similar to Atkins at Wire - none the worse for it once he realises he can now steamroller defenders rather than run around them.

Afraid Moore's choices my be limited (Wakey, Cas perhaps) but can't see BJB having to sit by the 'phone for long if he decides to leave Leeds ...... the ability (and brain!) to play at wing/centre/FB hasn't gone unnoticed by other coaches.

I have observed Moon's game (as well as Hall's form) and Moon's game simply isn't great in the winger-service department.
Why you are baffled by that observation, I cannot say, but you're right that's where we differ.


SL Tries scored by Leeds ...
2009 - 140
2010 - 126
2011 - 130
2012 - 145
2013 - 130
Quite how do these totals affect the number of tries that you say Briscoe would have scored outside of Moon that Hall didn't?

And also the balance of left vs right. With Watkins on the right edge, Leeds have genuine threats on both sides for the first time in ages

Just to add to the Moon/Hall debate the service to that side has been painfully slow and way down on accuracy imo often forcing Moon to go on his own.
Also imo Moon should know where his winger is as much as Hall should be up with play etc its a partnership so non that score BOTH are culpable.

Valid point.

Besides the obvious it has also to be acknowledged that a significant percentage of Hall's tries came courtesy of the service he received from the full-back - so I'd also consider the effect that replacing Webb with Hardaker has had on the winger's try count.
