Thought the same. Didn’t stop busted a gut. But the tired ageing legs are causing the poor kicks.
Needs to be managed out. Just has very little zip and his decision making and skills have dropped off in a major way. Can retire with Cotch this year.
A fantastic servant to our club playing on one season too many. Cotchin take note!
He could have flashes for another three years. Need a hot burning fire. Gone on one year too long. Sad but no disgrace to call time.
Yeah we need to persevere with CJ.
I don't think we want Houli rucking.
He and Astbury looked under duress. They looked like players a few yards too slow to the contest.
The problem is Vlaustin isn't fast and Short is a small defender so we basically have a slow defense with the exception of Grimes who was easily our best.
Injuries just exposed these guys even more.

Not sure we realise how much of an impact that Houli missing the entire pre season has had on him. For his position on the field it is a killer.
He tried his guts out the entire night. Not sure he has another season in him but far from our worst last night

I thought he was one of our least worst players. Yes he made mistakes, as all did, but at least he had some positive impact too.
I thought Vlossy was brave and did well last night. the least of our problems. Ihad him just behind Lynch and Pickett, then daylight.
Watching the game from Lvl 3 last night you could see who is running hard and who is bludging. We had alot of bludgers out there. Houli wasn't one of them.
Houli made alot of errors but that was coz he had no one running shotgun with him - had no support. He was one of a very few who kept running hard trying to create movement trying to make things happen. But he had little support and had to either bomb blindly or thread the needle with his kicks.
we are playing 2016 slow conservative static football. Never thought I'd see it again but last night was a dejavu moment. The bad feelings came rushing back and I had to search for my old coping mechanisms.
our flag winning game revolved around running hard to support, to link up, to provide an option, to swarm the opposition and create a turnover and to spread fast.
is it any wonder that edwards has become completely ineffective? he thrives on movement around him so he can distribute by hand.
Dustin Martin looked like a bush footballer last night.
we have gone ultra conservative with our movement off the ball. we are not running nearly hard enough when we don't have the ball.
it's easy to blame a player or 2 and say they are finished, but you have to look at what's happening out there overall.
Houli was apparently finished in 2016.
