To be fair, tonight I think he actually improved following that knock-on. Not many out-jump Richards for a high ball.

I reckon he'll leave but still get an SL contract somewhere.

Lyne or Tuffour to get a shot then?

Please, please, please try and watch it again. He didn't even move did Hall. Richards was the one who got it (rarely) completely wrong. It was lucky for him that Richards didn't catch it.

I think we are confusing competence with making someone a scapegoat, he played 40 mins tonite and made two massive unforced errors
1) The knock on from the drop out
2) The wild cross field pass
The problem with Craig is that he does something as crazy as this in almost every game he plays, his jumping out the line is comical bearing in mind how long he has been a pro. As i said it's a real shame coz his attacking play he can be awesome.

Its big games like this when fringe players get their chance that they HAVE to step up to the plate. Time and time again Hall fails to deliver. Not a scapegoat its a simple fact. He has to go and go soon.

I would add one or two more in there as well, Washy, Leuaki, Dowes and Tansey is starting to get that way. Is he paid by Wigan to turn a game on a missed place penalty kick ? As for the (potential) international Yeaman wtf does he do ? yet again disappointing after raising his game against Rovers. Yes you can argue about beaten packs etc but he never or rarely looks for work. I am thinking of buying him a pair of union shorts so he can put his hands in his pockets while he does nowt. He would certainly have a couple of balls to play with then.

He didnt out jump Richards, Richards over ran it

You could be right. I had my head in my hands at the time.

Richards got that all wrong, Hall made numerous errors, knocked on from the restart, wild passes to no-one, standing of tackles, hes a liability and tbh i cant see who would offer him a sl contract

He is right. It was another poor performance from Hall tonight, but he was one of many.

I can't believe people still have it in for Hall. If he's still making the same mistakes time after time then i'd question the coaching.

Hull never improved when Hall went off and I wouldn't be surprised if the injury is a veil to cover Agar making him a scapegoat again, it's been done before.

Hull never looked like scoring but in their defence other teams would suffer without their 1st choice halves and influential players like Ogre and Fitz. Rovers turned over Warrington at home but Warrington were without Briers and Monaghan, just goes to show...

Put it down as a bad day at the office and look forward to next week.

As bad as he was, you could'nt single him out

ive always wanted craig to do well but now thats wore off big time.Needs a fresh start at a new club before his career hits rock bottom...i feel for the kid but at the end of the day it's not doing our great club any favors!

That's why I didn't.

I was agreeing with what you said

I was agreeing with you agreeing with me.

1 not ready and 1 not good enough

I thought you didnt agree, as you did agree i agree with you

Richards seemed to stumble and didn't get a jump in.

Hall is not good enough, fair enough, i think most people are of that thinking. The problem tonight was that i think Craig himself didn't think he was good enough. Confidence in tatters, though it is mostly his own doing.

Totally agree with that, maybe after the way Richards terriosed him at wigam we might have been better putting briscoe up against richards

Nail hammer head etc. Seems to lack the mental toughness required to play at this level. Turner was as bad tonight and got worse the more errors he made.

I sometimes wonder what goes through his head. After the knock on from the drop out, I'd have thought he'd have been looking to be as safe as possible. Then he went and threw that pass.

Was that after he kicked through on tackle 2 ? I actually felt sorry for him which on the face of it isn't good.

He didn't even try to jump for that ball. It was a mistake playing him and Hall on the same side, IMO.

I guess it's not. For me, the sarcastic applause when he fielded their second drop out said it all.

Hall has been destroyed as a player by Agar. In and out of the side at full back, wing, centre, off half and from the bench. He should of left 2 years ago when his contract was running down. Hall is a left centre always has been and always will be left winger at most
