Hallas certainly gives 100% I'll give him that. As far as him covering other positions is concerned I'm not so sure. He can definitely cover loose forward as backup for a first choice player. For example if Baitieri was injured Hallas could cover. He'd not be anywhere near as good as the first choice but he could do it. He's got experience of playing prop but he's not big or got good enough footwork or he wouldn't have attempted to convert to hooker where his hands are too slow. He'll make for an ok backup 13. Looking at how we went versus York and the games after Segeyaro was injured we really need a quality 1st choice hooker/dummy half. Also we need a couple of powerful wingers. Blackmore has been really good but he's got back problems that are long standing apparently. Losing Taufua hasn't helped. Losing Wallace will mean we need at least one second row probably two.
