I would have him back at Leeds in the 2nd row in a heartbeat.

They guy bleeds Leeds. Massive opportunity missed.

It doesn't matter anyway, they've scrapped the non fed trained rules. They quota is just 7 overseas players now. That would give us 1 space assuming Thompson signs. So, that would probably mean only one of Simms and Fifita would sign

Seven is absolutely ridiculous, four should be the maximum, personally I'd have it at three.

2nd row? He’s never played there in his long illustrious career. No thanks.

Re: Ryan Hall : Mon Nov 16, 2020 3:33 pm  

Not sure his fitness/technique/tackling would be suited to second row.

Hes a decent size and fast - plus he can tackle.

Beats having Mellor the modern day Ian Kirke.

What makes you think he would want to play in the second row?

British players are exempt i believe, as are French players in English teams, so it works exactly the same.

Mead, Langi, Folau, Maloney, Kasiano, Moa and Drinkwater.

Weve got Koni, Lui, Ava, Prior, Martin, Thompson and Cuthbo at the moment so should have 1 spot available next season with Cuthbo leaving.

he lacks the aggression for me to play in the pack. maybe centre but to be honest he would still be a fantastic asset in SL on the wing. he never had blistering pace but is one of the best finishers and ball returners in the game and that should remain till he hangs them up.

Absolutely. Can see where the thinking comes with second row from with his size but there’s no way he should play there. He can still do damage on that wing be in no doubt.
