Both weeks...his defence is seriously pants....

Re: Craig Hall : Sun Apr 18, 2010 6:41 am  

Seriously out of his depth at the moment. Thought I say Reece Lyne on crutches today and Yeaman didn't look good when he came off so we may be stuck with him tho'

Give some from the under 20s a run out...it can't be any worse.

I used to teach my 12 year old team to mark man for man when defending in the centres and wing. We even did 2 on 2 drills making sure the winger didn't get sucked in to the attacking centre. Hall played centre for a very good team and I bet he used to jump out as a centre looking for interceptions knowing he had a good winger and full back to cover him if he missed.
My main concern is that I regularly see Hall jumping out and then seeing a winger scoot in to score.
Hall is tactically naive by being caught out like this but also has his coach noticed this and spent time on it. Raynor was rarely caught out as he held his position and stayed with his winger.
Agar out

Not sure Agar can take the blame for Hall tbh...Hall has had more opportunities than most I know, his defence has always being very poor, yet a lot of people constantly offer excuses for this. He excelled in NL1, I suspect that is his level.

Yup. It's all Hall's fault. If only he hadn't played we would have won both games at a canter and we'd also be sitting pretty at the top of the table, unbeaten.

I couldn't believe how he missed all those tackles in the middle of the park and failed to get on top of their pack as well. Diabolical.

Get rid now - we've already thrown away too many cup and league doubles by having this guy in the side.

Hall is not the scapegoat here Kosh....the team were pants, however Hall is just not doing it, his defence is diabolical he is starting to resemble a headless chicken, I do not see how even moving him to centre will improve this.
