Hall’s last Leeds stint as a Hull KR – Total Rugby League player

TRY scorer extraordinaire Ryan Hall believes it’s all about belief for Hull KR as they pave the way for a first grand final appearance of the summer era.
The powerful winger, who has the most tries in Super League history, featured in six of them and was a winner each time in his first spell with Leeds, which ran from 2007 to 2018.
Former Sydney Roosters man Hall, now 36, will return to the Rhinos for a second spell next season.
But he is desperate to end a four-year stay at Rovers and, after helping them to the play-off semi-finals in both 2021 and last year, firmly believes Willie Peters’ side have the ability to go to the end. Old Trafford – and claim what would be their sixth championship, but their first since 1985.
And with eleven regular season games remaining, starting with Saturday’s big derby at Hull, he says the team is pulling out all the stops to stay on track.
“I think I’ve been on an upward trajectory since I signed,” he explained.
“It all comes down to hard work from across the club and we come to every training session ready to go.
“We’re going to keep doing that and for me it’s all about belief because we’re competing against teams that have been there before.
“We’ve got eleven games left to keep up with them and get into the play-offs and there’s no reason why we can’t do that and make our mark.”
Sala overtook Danny McGuire’s Super League record of 247 tries last month and was named Glen’s Vodka Player of the Month for June.
But he modestly told Sky Sports: “If it wasn’t for getting those scores I don’t think I would have won it because there were other really good performers, although I’m still grateful.”
Asked about his longevity, Hall said: “I play on the wing so I’m away from those big clashes in the middle.
“I defend with inverted commas, but it’s more about my positioning.”
Rovers are aiming to complete a hat-trick of wins over Hull this year.
They triumphed 22-0 at the MKM Stadium in the opening round of the league in February and 34-10 at home in late March.
