Ryan Hall

Could still play for the Bears...but if he is happy in Oz another club could pick him up.

Not if Wigan or another ESL team come knocking. I can't see another NRL team offering him a contract.

Ryan Hall v Matt Ikivalu

Ryan Hall
177 meters per game
Tackle efficiency 87%

Ikivalu

121 meters per game
Tackle efficiency 74%

The first guy returning from a knew reconstruction, so we're seeing him at his worst. The second coming off an injury free pre-season, returning at his best.

The first guy a proven international across 38 Test matches for 36 tries, the second still playing reserve grade.

There's no comparison unless you plan playing Hall in a wheelchair. Meanwhile BMoz is doing just fine.

Wonder if Billy Smith could play as a winger, he has been excellent at centre for the Bears since his return from that ACL injury.

I'm sure he could, looks a natural footy player.

I know I'm going to get gunned down by most on here for saying this but here goes...

I reckon he has more scope than Manu. Manu has been somewhat disappointing this season for mine. He has become a bit of a one trick pony whose only real move is to get outside his man and throw a flick pass to his winger. His defence has improved but is still suspect.

Billy Smith, whilst untested, has a bigger range of skills including goal kicking.

I'm not saying we get rid of Manu but I do believe Billy Smith will be a serious threat to his position.

I come unarmed although Joey is way ahead at this stage. The biggest trouble we have is in retaining this enormous pool of talent.

The bloke was brilliant , then he tore his acl , bad luck for us and him , he's almost 32 , past his use by date .
He comes in off his wing far to often and cant turn to go back to defend.

Of course he is way ahead.

He has won a GF and represented his country.

However, this doesn't mean you are not replaceable.

If Hall leaves due to lack of opportunity then I hope the club has a replacement in mind.

Ikuvalu is not up to it.

Cant agree mate. I reckon Iku has got plenty to offer and was developing very nicely indeed until Morris came good again.

True, Halls has been to the top and the only way now is down. Iku is still on the climb and has a lot to look forward to.

Brett Morris is retiring, no?

I reckon Hall will go for another season or 2. IMO the big thing is that those poms love the sunshine down here. On an okay NRL salary you can live it up for a few years down here, play some NRL and put that notch in your belt.

Hall been solid when I've seen him play. It's more that Morris is amongst the best. To get him for what we did was a VERY special buy!!

I think (amazingly) he's talking about replacing Manu, unless I'm confused.

Where?

Wouldn't surprise me as a long-term plan as Latrell's clearly our keeper and somebody's gonna offer Manu the big bucks pretty soon.

why not get rid of Hall , give the money to Manu , we have plenty of spare wingers.

I’m probably confused more.

[QWERTY]

I’m probably confused more.

i think he is talking about replacing Manu with Billy Smith
