The one big advantage Hall offers, is his versatility. Should an injury occur, he can do a job 1-7 etc.
Still, big call ‘resting/dropping’ a form player be it Salter or Brown to cater for Hall. Hall's fitness is also a concern. Will he be 100% fit? Hall seems prone to picking up the odd calf strain here, ankle problem there - never anything major, just minor strains that result him being out for a few weeks.
If we're desperate to draft Hall into the side somewhere, I'd go down the Salter route. But even then, I'm inclined to keep the same 1-7 that has served us well in the past two games.

No chance! Sandercock wont change a winning team. And does anyone realise that since Hall has been out, we`ve won both times!

| The old Adage....if it ain't broke, dont fix it.
At the moment the team is playing reasonably well and as with any winning team ( i know its only two in succession) but, you want as little dissruption or change as possible imo, Salter has earned his place on merrit as has Brown who looked immpresive on Saturday.
You also have to consider the likelyhood that these two players will get even better with game time and dropping them now would be the wrong thing to do imo.
People have been calling for Sandercock to give the young guns a good run out for some time, now that he has done and they have done ok, they want him to drop them after a couple of games or so, what message would that send out to the other youngsters who aspire to push for first team recognition in the future?.
Injuries or fatigue will determine team selection to a point during the season anyway but for the time i would leave the current selection well alone.

| Never be afraid to change a winning team if you think you can make it stronger. Speaking personally, the only change i would make is Hodgson in for Jordan Cox but i'm sure that Craig Sandercock will give a lot of thought to Craig Hall and Lincoln Withers if they are available. Got to be a good thing surely.

| Go on then I’ll say it… Craig Hall isn’t all that, he’s a good back up player, ideal for the inevitable injury crisis, can play 1 – 7 or 13 so ideal for any squad
I thought he looked awful against Salford and just don’t see how he’ll add to our team currently. He’s lost on the wing and the defensively Salter has looked good so why move him out for a player who is arguably weaker in defence at centre. We aren’t lacking in attack so to add another pivot may do more harm than good, keep Hall in reserve for when we pick up a knock or get to a point when we really need to rest someone. A full strength HKR team doesn’t have CH in the 17.
