He needs dropping and some time to build his confidence back up away from the first team, he must make more errors than any other back in SL. I'm not Agar's biggest fan by any stretch but I really dont get why Hall has suddenly got some sort of God like status where all his errors get ignored? Motu made far less errors during his slightly dodgy spell last season and got loads more stick.
I get what your saying and i agree to a extent however the standard of the Reserve Grade level is so bad Hall wont get anything out of it.
The thing which annoys me reagarding Hall is that there must be something personal between Agar and Hall as any chance of having a sly dig regarding Hall, Agar seems to take it IMO.
Cant believe Hall isnt at least in the 19. Fair enough he has been very error-prone recently, but thats partly because he's been played out of position. Does it make sense to drop him from the fullback position? Yes. Does it make sense to drop him from the squad completely? Absolutely not. His confidence has taken a knock, however the only way to re-build that confidence is to show abit of faith and continue to play him. Dropping him the the entire squad certainly ISNT going to do him and favours whatsoever. What I fail to see here is, why Broughton (who has been drafted in for a month or so to cover injuries) is more worthy of a place than Hall? Who we all know can be devastating out wide with abit of space, and is more than capable of bagging a few trys. Imo the decision to bring Broughton in, was a good one. However he shouldnt play at the expense of anyone else, because plain and simply - he's not as good.

No place at all for Radford and Thorman
Typo.
"You don't have to be great to start, but to be great you have to start".
For those not happy that Broughton is on left wing......possibly in week or two Raynor will be back. Is it a good idea to move Hall yet again to left wing knowing once Raynor is back he'll get shifted once more, and broughton wil be back to leeds in couple of weeks??
I think hall needs to be played in one position and kept there. but where?
Left centre, right centre, full back, wings etc.......thoughts please everyone

If I were picking the team, I'd drop Thorman to full back, rotate Lee and Houghton at 9, and try Berrigan and Horne in the halves. Whiting centre, Washy LF.
