Hallas is very much a stop gap hooker as it's been shown as far back as League 1 that he wasn't quick enough for it. Berry should be the option if Doyle is out but I believe Flanagan isn't far off returning after his lengthy ban is he?


I think Kear quite likes Hallas at hooker for his work rate so no chance of Berry been given the nod ahead of him. He'll go with Doyle & Flanagan when both are fit, but then Hallas is clearly his third option.

The problem yesterday was that Hallas had to play for 80 minutes as well. We were crying out for some zip from dummy half in that game. Hallas distribution is far too slow for hooker, but him slogging it out for half an hour before giving him
a breather and giving Berry 20 minutes just to quicken things up would have improved our attack yesterday. As it is his slow distribution became even slower due to him having to play 80 minutes. Hindsight a wonderful thing though.

Widnes only used 15 players yesterday apparently, with the size of our pack and being able to use all 4 subs, it's a really poor result.

Also agree with Bulliac. If Pickersgill can't defend better than he did for their first try, there's serious question marks about his future.


Yeah, I watched the highlights and his attempted tackle for the first try was absolutely pathetic

BTW, was there an attendance announced for Sunday? I wondered how attendances were shaping up after the Odsal return

Crowds have looked quite healthy from what I've seen so far but I wasn't there last weekend. The novelty factor of being back watching the game will dissipate amongst the more casual fans if performances suffer.

i think the only way to judge crowd interest is when finally covid restrictions are completely lifted ... i know it still must be hard over there and the times we are living in are bizarre to say the least .. (say that to the WWI or WW2 veterans, or the 1919 spanish flu) .. this thing im sure is still here to stay for a while (no matter what part of the world) ... ok less harp more poz :) .. covid restrictions aside, 3k+ is still healthy

I think, with the number allowed seeming to be 4K, that appears to be the one being used, though I've not seen any figure actually announced for the last two games.

3153 against Widnes, not sure on Newcastle figure.

I've got a figure of 3300 for the Newcastle game, though with the club not seemingly having a policy of giving out the figure in match reports, I'm uncertain as to where I got it from - presumably the press, though the T&A haven't been announcing crowd figures either.

The 3153 figure for the Widnes game was quoted in League Express. That's probably where the Newcastle figure came from. The York one was quoted as a straight 4000 but i've not seen the actual figure.
