Since moving to the swans Hall has never once been pinged for holding the ball. *
Umpires let him run through 15 players * with at least 8 * hanging onto him. Then he finally handballs it after being held for 40 seconds * and it's play on.

Will Barry Hall be pinged for holding the ball in 2008?

The best way to tackle Barry Hall is to grab one of his hands or arm.
He then can't handball or accurately direct the ball to foot.
He then gets free kicked every time for incorrect disposal.
If you tackle his body the umpire has to decide if you have impeded him sufficiently. They can then give him the benefit of the doubt.

i was at the game last year, round 19 at Telstra Stadium.
he tried to run through 3 saints players, but the third one got him (was it dal?) even the swans fans knew it was holding the ball, it was the highlight of the game watching him go down!

Am I getting my incidents mixed up, or was that highlight not followed by the lowlight of the game, when he got a free for a push in the back????saintdooley wrote:yes he hasbrown-coat wrote:Since moving to the swans Hall has never once been pinged for holding the ball. *
