    BAZZA!!!!
    Who in the media wants him to fail? The only time he has looked like getting in trouble was with the headlock and 99% of them defended him.

    Commentators on Triple M all nearly jump out of their skin whenever any hint of controversy occurs. It seems (to my ears) that the prospect of Hall belting someone interests them greatly.

    Re: Match-winner Hall keeps it together

    Bazza has been a fantastic fit for us.He was getting stiffled at Sydney with their slow, inaccurate and stop and start midfield. Yes we have a mercedes but a midfield which can deliver fast, accurately and efficiently to him, with the fwd tackling pressure now to hurt teams on the scoreboard.Its one of the recruits of the season. Eade has a good knack at picking up mature age recruits. But not only what they deliver on field, but what they can add and improve to players during training. I wonder how much defense skills the guys have picked up from Montgomery.Darcy last year praised Aker for how much the other players are picking up from his kicking.Young fwds Grant,Jones, Roughead and Cordy are going to learn a heap from him and the crumbers ho will know where to position themselves.

    It does interest them greatly and it isn't just MMM. Channel 7 do the same thing all the time and you can tell the media want him to smack someone just because it will make their jobs easier.

    Sometimes I like their entertaining calls, sometimes I just want to say "Shut the hell up!"

    But one of the reasons Hall was available at the Dimmey's end of the draft
    It's FORGES Jake!!!!!!!!!


    Dimmeys is evil!
