Hudds fans say thorman is one of the worst full backs they've ever had and as for whiting, he's a good player but he has no pace at all and would be ripped to shreds imo.

I think it's better to do something exceptional and chance it rather then being like the rest of our team and being dull and just one man rugby drives. Maybe he does make bad decisions at times but that comes from experience, something he has very little of at full back.

I think Hall to 6 and Horne to FB would be a good decison, Hornes got very little creativity in him for mine and could do as much damage as he does at 6 from full back and Hall could do far more at 6.

It is good to do something exceptional and chance it, yes. But you've got to play the percentages. If something has a high risk, and it's just managed to come off, chances are it won't come off again. Craig Hall is not clinical enough to be a game-breaker, so he shouldn't keep acting like he is!

And if we're going to move Horne to FB, me might as well put someone in the halves that is more experienced like Whiting, Washbrook, etc. I'd even have Tommy Lee back in there!

And for the people that keep saying "Craig Hall is not the reason we lost today, so don't single him out..." that is not what people are saying. Craig Hall wasn't the reason we lost. We were terrible. But that doesn't mean we can't highlight certain players as not being good enough. I could mention more that I don't think are good enough, but this thread is about Craig Hall.

Anyone who suggests Thorman for FB should be banned for life. Fact.

Have to say it amuses me when folk complain about boring percentage rugby and then we get comments like this.

An easy way to make no errors is to do nothing. Won't win you many games though.

Neither will throwing the ball forward when not under any pressure on your own 30. Seriously, if Craig Hall was released, how many SL teams would want to snap him up and include him in their 17? I'm not having a go for the sake of it and I support him vocally whenever he takes the ball up, but I just don't think he's got the physicality, defensive positioning sense or decision-making ability to be anything more than a squad player at this level.
