UPDATE - Bluddy Hale was more useless than my grandma on viagra today. 2 good games out of 11 now for the 9th wonder of the world. He'll be lucky to kick 22 goals for the season. 1 goal/game? That's handy.

Yeah well I could have sliced off my testicles today and thrown them on the North Half Forward line and they would have done a better job then Hales today.

But play him next week. He could probably, possibly turn it on one day.:thumbsu:

2/11

By Round 15, I expect the tally to read: 3/15, to which Hale will play out the season before a big 8 goal game to end the season, with the final tally reading...

4/22
Yep.

Just as you think he will be dropped he pops up and kicks a few to lock himself in for another few weeks, then proceeds to stink it up once more.

Just getting sick of this really. Laids, just drop him FFS.

It takes time to kick the ton you know; there's still 11 games left to crack said ton. :thumbsdown:

Even if he performs in the Magoos he has had 7 years to improve and apart from a handful of games he as been a dissappointment.

Not sure what the answer is for him as he gets beaten wherever he plays. :thumbsdown:

Yes, I know we have re-signed him (fu*k knows why, sign Warren & Urhq's first) Is there a worse/more ineffective player running around at the minute getting a game each week? Hate to say it (can't believe I'm saying it) but I would almost prefer to have Leroy still out there for us instead :thumbsdown:

Thomas is shitter, less tradeable also.
At least Hale draws an opponent, and is very tradeable.
There would be 35 players on our list that havent or never will reach their potential.

so, if you were a recruiter and went to watch him over the last month, would you fork out much to try and get him?? me neither. i guess we could get draft pick 86 and save a few bucks, there's a bonus.

Hale was my fave player and I thought had superstar potential. No doubt he has had a terrible year and I'm not sure why. I know delivery has been a real problem but its more than that. He isn't even winning the one on ones like he used to. Something is wrong bigtime here.

the delivery can seem worse than it is because he will not lead. added to that, when the ball is bombed long to him, he gets bustled out of the way, and likes to fall down. looks like he doesn't even want to be there
