Interesting to see Hall Packing in at loose man a couple of times on Friday . A good move move by Agar to tighten our defensive line up with a second row and not leaving Hall in a potential 1 on 1 scenario near our try line.

standard procedure these days with most full backs

means they are not out of position for the 2nd tackle

Radford is hardly ever in the scrum these days. Means the full back can filter back into postion for the set direct from the back of the scrum and not get caught up in a tackle

Glad Hall played well, I had every confidence in him, think he may have a very good season in that position.

I personally thought they did it to get an extra person in the defensive line, as soon as the ball is fed the full back runs back into position and you have your looseman in the line ready for the tackle.

Hopefully the lad will prove to be a chip off the old block. If he turns out to be half as good as his dad David was at Rovers I will be happy.

Anyone notice the stats in this weeks Rugby papers - that Craig didn't have to make a tackle in the Huddersfield game?

Thats a good thing then, solid defence meant he didnt need to.

Pleasing to see him coming into the line and setting Briscoe up.
