Anyone got any idea why our coach doesn't rate our best attacking player?

I accept he has some defensive issues but on the evidence of the season so far that's the same for the rest of our 3/4's. So what is it?

Maybe hall's dad used to pick on agar's dad at rovers and he's just getting his own back

After the 2008 season Agar told a contracted Hall he was, if he could find another club, free to leave Hull fc.

Hall went and agreed a contract with hkr but when Rule found out which club it was he refused to release him.

I ten to think that at any other club he'd have been held up as a shining star and played week in, week out for his attacking capabilities rather than castigated for the odd error

Looking at our possible 3/4 line options if hall played, and IMO it has to be centre, then we would have two maybe three players who are defensively questionable and Agar just won't risk that. He's playing it safe.

If we would have replaced Raynor we wouldn't of had this imbalance.

This problem is becoming more evident every week. Hall is serious asset to the club and its future and why we don't utilise him more is a mystery to me. He has a great try/game ration,pace and youth on his side his weaker attributes are improving. He will be greatly needed come Friday.... so lets see if he plays???

Has anybody got any idea why Hall is held in such high regard by the fans?

he's a very good attacker.

42 tries in 60 appearances

Only centre who when gets the ball looks as though he will do something...can put his winger away..yes he defence is suspect sometimes but the way Agar treats him,its no wonder his confidence is shot......put it this way..if his surnmae began with a B and he came from fev,he would be the dogs Bolloxs.

Agree FC baldy... he needs to be used correctly in centre position. Why people don't rate him and want rid of him puzzles me??? We have Briscoe and Hall who both should be starting centres Friday with yeaman on the bench IMO.

you could be discribing falou or idris there.

the only problem there is who plays wing?

Manu and Radford...wouldnt sodding suprise me.

Did you not see the Yeaman tackle on Sidlow? Replace him with Hall, there again, maybe after next week.

I would play Whiting and Turner there if Horne is back. Think change around will bring the quarters back to life and Yeaman hopefully in dropping him to the bench!

not a bad shout, yeaman will play though.

If anyone thinks that Hall is the answer then they're sadly mistaken.
I'm a fan of Halls, i just don't think he's AS good as people make him out, his attacking decisions this year have been poor.

Beacuse he is a big talent and is one of only a few players we have who is a bit off the cuff and has real flair, and its frustrating that at any other club he would be worked with to try and get the best out him (to be fair he does need a lot of work nobody can deny that) but our coach dosnt think its worth the effort and would rather have a solid player to play there, I expect him if he is still here next season to bring in a back row type plyer who will play steady at centre to replace Hall, preferably someone who says "us" instead of our I expect.

As will Briscoe...who got caught out again last night but seeing as we have no wingers..he will still play.

What.........When he has played Centre he has looked bloody dangerous...not saying he is the answer but why does he get dropped when playing out of position for the team and Goldenballs on the other wing who has been just as bad doent????????

I don't disagree, if he played any other position than centre he would probably be one of the first names on the teamsheet. He's had enough time to develop his defensive frailties but i only see slight improvement, not good enough after 3 years in the 1st team squad.
Sadly Hall's defence will be the reason he's never a "top drawer" centre.

Simple really, Whiting's been better this season and Briscoe is the better winger.

Agree on Whiting but think Hall and Briscoe on par as wingers.

True Yeaman and Briscoe will play centre and wing. Shame we did'nt sign Broughton before Raynor went as cover he did a steady job for us. Wonder if a loan signing on cards for wing because this surely can't go on much longer?

Not at all, both are dodgy under the high ball and both have been positionally poor this year but i would take Briscoe's returning of the ball over Hall any day.
