Ashton Golding, Ryan Hall and Brad Singleton have been named in 19-man squad

I would play Luke Briscoe instead of Hall, jet lag etc

I think I would as well.

I doubt Luke will play for us again. Only named in the 19 to keep up the charade of us 'signing him for the rest of the season"

Was only ever a one game loan but rules meant it couldn't be announced like that

With Ryan leaving (not confirmed yet), we need another winger, and Luke fits the bill with his current record.

Ryan has struggled many times since that last second win over Huddersfield to win the League Leaders Shield.
27 tries in 2012, 15 in 2013, 23 in 2014 20 in 2015, but only 4 in 2016, 10 in 2017 and 9 in 2018.

nowhere near good enough to be a regular. not even close

He's be a lot more sharper and potent if we didn't use him as a chuffin prop.

I'm all for using the wingers bring the ball out but the level of service Hall gets is poop.

Re: 2018 | The Final 5. : Wed Jun 27, 2018 4:34 pm  

exactly. his try record shouldn't be a measure of his performances

Re: 2018 | The Final 5. : Wed Jun 27, 2018 4:42 pm  

Hall would score 30 a season with ease still in a structured set up like a Wigan or Cas, its purely down to how we use him that his try stats look as they do. Its not as if he is bombing opportunities he just is starved of quality chances to get over the white wash on a regular basis.

Well, reading into McD statement today, it looks like Ryan will not be with us next year.

Really? He was asked directly at his press conference today whether he thought Hall wanted to stay, and if he thought he would stay and he answered yes to both.
