I can see the point in bringing Hall in NOW but not for next season. What's the point in having an academy? If Hall is looking for a job beyond playing why not simply give him a non-playing role?

Have to agree with that.
Get him in now.
Hall was a favourite of mine when he played and yes he still knows the way to the try line probably helped by having a decent centre inside him.
At the age when he arrives I can`t see him offering much more than our Academy lads other than experience.
He certainly won`t add a greater defence to his skillset.

He is still one of the best backs in the league carrying the ball early in sets. Exactly the type of 3/4 we desperately need, so it's fine by me.

It's hardly a kin to signing Nathan McAvoy.

Who in our academy is better than Ryan Hall?

We should have gone for Dan Okoro he looks good today.

He lives in Garforth

Hall for a year then moving to off field staff isn't too bad.
He will play more than Fusi for sure and is better than Roberts in that position.

However, it screams of trying to impress the know nothing fans who thought Dwyer was the second coming.

Silver lining, it means Fusi must be well and truly gone for next year.

I’ll have to count myself a know-nothing again then - although Dwyer drove me crazy…

It was more aimed at the people on farcebook and Twunter.

Dwyer caused far more issues than he solved ,though in his defence he at least tried

I have no idea. What about the guy who made his debut against Warrington?

We finally got rid of the other Golden Generation winger who stayed a season or two too long (Briscoe). It seems like a backward step for me unless Hall's coming in now to cover the injuries to Fus and Handley.

(The player for Bradford was Doro not Okoro - old eyes and similar name!)

I don’t think we do have a winger in the academy better than Hall; it’s only 1 year and if a player comes past him great.
