Wasn't that because we were shot of options on the bench through injuries sustined during the game? I'd imagine if we have 22 fit players available, Bazza will be spending his time in the forward line for the entire game.

my memory of it was goodesy was exhuasted and it was like five minutes to go so hall rucked a bit cos we were holding on to a lead.... so perhaps if we are in front by about 10 with a few mins to go hally could ruck again i guess

that's how it went. hall basically just punched the ball to the line for five minutes while goodes got his breath back. outstanding effort.

was brilliant... hall is a star....

so he is quite capable of rucking...

but he kicked 6 goals before he did the ruck work then if he rucked all game wed prolly miss him too much up forward

only up forward and cameo bursts at best. too heavy to ruck for significant periods and probably vulnerable early in the game when opponents are fresh and have spring in their legs.
definitely our premier big man up forward

i agree .... i just meant he can do it... was agreeing he did well against port... would never put hall in the ruck

unless we are like being flogged at half time by 75 points and want to just mix the team up
