How much time did Hall have to make his decision, after picking up the loose ball on the run? Instinct that close to the line is just back yourself and go for it

As he should , Hall had every right to back himself . Twelve months ago he picked up Kirk Dixon and carted him and others over the try line singlehandedly , no reason to bag the bloke for one misjudgement .

I'm not happy either, I had Leeds to win by 56-60 points at 125 -1 with Billy Hills.

Good odds. I checked on Twitter after and I think SkyBet were offering 33-1 for Leeds by 45-50.

Mind you, we bombed another chance when Hardaker dropped McGuire's pass.

It was 16-0 at the time and a winger wanted to get in on the act, had it been 0-0 maybe he'd have passed.....he'll have know the game plan was to attack down our right hand side so chances will have been limited (can't remember him getting another chance near their line for the remainder of the match).

Basic error. Rugby is about passing to the man in space.

Hall had a split second to make the decision and make that play. Without the benefit of hindsight, I can easily imagine any winger throwing a stinker of a pass in the time he had available. And a panic play is just as basic an error as the one you describe.

It was actually Dixon who made the initial tackle and even then Hall could've gotten the ball down as he came free from him but Salter got in and wrapped him up preventing him from putting the ball down.

Given it was a Hull KR knock on, it would have been a free play so even had the pass gone to ground, it would have still been Leeds feed at the scrum.

Yup, you're right. Had forgotten the knock on that gifted Hall possession.
