So whats hall out for, only asking mate

Not sure if he got injured last Sunday or not, if not he probably prefers Topou to Hall in this game, can't disagree with him tbh.

Tupou is bigger and stronger, but the attack won't be as good as when Hall is in the centre
You have to choose between the lesser of two evils or the better of the two skills (depending how positive you are feeling)

I think Tupou has been playing on the right before so I'm not sure if left is better for him or whether he'd be out of comfort zone.

I don't buy that - he's scored three interceptions and off a dropped ball and that's about it - Arundel has created more tries than Hall and he's perceived as average. I'm sorry but I think people (not saying you are) are far to desperate to create a player in Hall that isn't there. It's like this perceived opinion that he's a S/O in waiting, he would be worth a punt if we were desperate and I see the logic but I've seen nothing to suggest he actually is.

He's not a Centre and unless he toughens up he never will be - he's a winger with a better attacking game and a poorer defensive game than most.

:shock: Wow a bit in there for everybody :D
A bit of humility a bit of bravado coupled with arrogance, even a tongue in cheek apology for those who don't have the same appetite as his good self when it comes to dishing out insults.
He even admits to being a plonker presumably for the sympathy vote but tempers that with the excuse that if your not happy then don't come on the Wakey board, the most laughable piece is when he says that no one is plain wrong, but basically it doesn't matter because if it suits my agenda whether your right or wrong you'll get both barrels without any discrimination of course as I like to be controvertial.
Not sure if you as his agent or vasty himself dreamed this up or what you hoped to achieve,
more likely to be sensationalism than modesty.

But by the same token Tupou is the same. He's a winger playing in the centre. He's doing well there, but he's had a lot of criticism for not letting the pass go, whereas Hall's problem is he can't always catch them.

Arundal imho is the best centre we have. He is a natural centre on the weaker passing side and he gets better every week.

All the centres have stepped up.
At the beginning of the season everyone thought we were weak there but with Arundal, Gibson, Tupou, Hall and Lyne I'd be ok with any of them, probably in that order though.

Well we'll have to differ on that one, perhaps it's just me who doesn't buy the complete transformation of Hall from last years public enemy number one to this years must have.

:BOW: Absolutely amazing post, I can see that you've put plenty of thought into it, just out of interest is there no depth you won't stoop to in order to gain attention.
Unlike your good self I do not deliberately go out of my way to prolong arguments and annoy the moderators so as I won't be replying to any more ridiculous posts on the subject, do feel free to have another cheap shot as I fear you won't get many more, if that's what does it for you.
