If we go down as we seem destined to without some changes he goes for free anyway, so he either stays and we continue to have little to no influence from the key attacking position or we let him go and hope Dagger a natural 1 with a passing game can spark our attack.

It’s a desperate attempt at a fix but it’s a desperate situation.

How Hall develops as a player at Wakey, Hull KR or anywhere else for that matter has no influence on our survival in 2023 which without a fullback was drastically reduced.

It’s frustrating and disappointing but the only focus can be 2023 for Trinity at the current time and this deal indicates that is the way the club are thinking too.

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:18 pm  

Have to say I am shocked by this deal but not surprised when you look back at some of the rugby decisions that have been made.
Going right back to Chester's last year, have we signed anyone apart from Hall and Whitbread who made the squad equal or better.

Not replacing Stand Off
Not signing Shaul
The worst set of overseas players ( apart from Whitbread ) I can remember.
Ashurst captain, can think of at least 2 players with better claims.

I am very close to the edge with the club at the moment, having seen some dross over the years, Friday night felt different, like it was the beginning of the end.

I just hope (though doubt it ) that it's part of some masterplan.

One more player gone under the new coaching set up, think it is becoming clear what players think to the Coaching there getting . Good to no it is not just the fans who are peeved of . More or less left with players who could just about make a championship team if they did not want to retire And it could be a good place for the coaches to learn how to coach not in S L.They have no idea how fast S L is .We can not even through passes along the line at pace, in fact we can not do any thing at pace .If we had a team of youngster playing I could accept it .But not the garbage we are turning out at present

Brilliant!

Jowitts a much better full back in all honesty. I actually rate Max, just seems to be injured a lot. Dagger fails to have the ability to unlock a defence, he’s just too lightweight for me. Plus he’s had his fair share of injuries. He will do a half decent job though, and he can fill in at half as well. I do hope he can prove me wrong, and wish nothing but the best for you guys. Out of interest, can Hall kick goals?

Re: Swap Deal : Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:11 pm  

The problem is and so if what we survive this year( like that’s going to happen with this lot) then what?
If there’s no money for this year then where the hell is any money coming for next year to strengthen the squad again which now is decimated???
