Stood with the Cas fans on Sat night.

Would love to see him playing for us next season

Don't tell Sallystar that

If Lee Smith stays then Hall could be used as a straight exchange for Shenton I suppose, that might work, although Hall has been very good for Leeds this season.

Hall for Shenton...

Nope. Pay for Shenton, we have the cash.

I'd swap Ashley Gibson plus cash.

Why would Cas sell one of the best centres in the league to the big local rival for average nobodies (like Gibson) or cash (which the club don't need)?

Ryan Hall was probably at the game just to watch a Rugby match...or it wasn't actually him

Yes. If Smith stays he can do what Hall does on the wing while Leeds strengthen a weak area. Providing Shenton can revert to a right sided centre again it would represent a net gain for the side in that circumstance.



So would I but as Gibson is out of contract at the end of this season (at present) it's not much of a deal to Castleford unless the deal could be agreed now-ish.

Hall has really developed. As a winger I think he's probably eclipsing what Smith was doing on the right wing last season, albeit he's doing it on the left.

I thought we had a lack of depth? Why are people advocating getting rid of our form threequarter and, arguably, the form wing man in the entire competition?

Not a chance Chris Hicks by plenty!...

Is hall really doing anything that special? He's top of the try scoring charts, but as has been shown on numerous occassions, that does not necessarily mean he's on form, or even a good player.

I wasn't being definitive. That's why i said arguably. Hicks has had a good year but why are you so confident its' Hick "by plenty"?

For Hicks.

He's got 1 more try than Hall.

For Hall

Hall has a try assist, Hicks doesn't. Hall has made significantly more metres and has a much higher work-rate, as demonstrated by more carries. Hall has made more tackles and more than double the offloads than Hicks. Hall has run from dummy half 53 times to Hicks 10. Hall has ten more tackle busts, more clean breaks and more marker tackles.

But despite all that you say its' Hicks "by plenty".


Why?
