So from that we should sign Craig Hall?

Thought exactly the same according to those figures hankinson has scored 8 hall 18. to say nothing of where goals where kicked from. Perfect example of how figures can be doctored to suite how you perseve them

Had to recheck that ian 🤭

Well he has scored 10 tries more than Hankinson if you do the maths.

Just for clarity Hank and Hall were on the same points before this past weekend

Hall had a blinder for Fev 4 tries 6 goals
Hank just 3 goals for London

Another stat is Fev currently have 3 players in top 5 try scorers. London have 1 in Miski

Fev are a top team playing good rugby London are mid table, just highlighting Hankinson is doing well for London all things considered

Hankinson might be doing well at London simply because Championship rugby might be his level?

If he returns to Wigan, I'd personally like to loan him out to a fellow SL club and see if he cuts it and how he goes.

I admire jackthelad's obvious loyalty and approval of Hankinson, just don't think he's the whole package we need and has probably been overlooked now for us (rightly or wrongly).

I think the thing with Hankinson shows the confusion the fans feel, our starting centres this year we’re in theory Gildart and Hardacre, but Gildart has been injured a lot of the season and Hardacre has had to revert to fullback as french played about 3 games before his injury. Our other option at centre is Bibby but he is in the wing as one of our first choice wingers has had to retire.

This means we are playing Isa at centre, and with the injury to Bateman we are short in the pack hence the over reliance on kids in the pack, let’s ignore the front row that’s a whole other can of worms.

Hankinson wouldn’t solve all these problems, but as a steady centre who can kick goals he frees players up to play in their preferred position, then we hear the club are signing Thornley on a 3 year deal, is he any better thank Hankinson ?

It just seems really weird that with the fixture congestion we have this year, and knew about, even before our crap CC run and we started the season with huge question marks on both first choice wingers, a centre who was injured, and the worst front row I can remember to remove flexibility from the squad

Just catching up with NRL on Sky, Caide Ellis had a decent game v the Panthers.
