Agree.BillyJean17 said:dunno if its just me, but I reckon he saves his worst games for ESS :
Always haves a shocker against them!

Defensive skills remain a weakness in his game for sure. I'd move him further up the park.
Ive been on about this facet of Bachars game since he came to the club, and was the main reason i against him being picked up.
He is not a backman andsaid it ad nauseum now will be best utilised on a wing, , he aint hard enough at contests to play back said it a million times, goes to ground regularly and doesnt hit physical contests hard enough but flowersniffers have pilliaried me for pointing it out and nothing has changed in that regard , hes a good runner link player with a good hoof, thus much better utilised on a wing ala the way they use Grigg, and Houli is a better kick than Grigg.

I tend to agree. If a soft player like Jetta outmuscles him then he has issues. He has improved slightly but he's hardly improved enough to say he's fixed that problem.
He definitely goes to ground far too often - that is undeniable. It's something he has to take out of his game - it is a golden rule and I'm sure the coaches are
making him well aware of it.

Didn't realize I was the only pointing his deficiency which is glaringly obvious in my and others opinion you just said yourself he isn't a hard man and as ive said I believe he is better utilized on a wing where his skill and engine would be better utilized. Nothing has changed my opinion on Houlis game he has attributes that are good for the side but desire to hit contests hard ain't one of em hence he's better for the tigers up the ground in a similar role to grigg I call it as I see it and won't change regardless of the venom you spout at me his hardness at contests hasn't really improved in my opinion
Played well last year's Dreamtime game. I remember giving it to the Bombers fans every time he did something good. They had been booing him early...then went quiet.BillyJean17 said:dunno if its just me, but I reckon he saves his worst games for ESS :

One of the news channels reported he got injured at training on Thursday. I think that's what MB's referring to. Ditto for Conca who looked liked he copped some sort of a cork or slight groin problem. Wouldn't be surprised to see a late change - maybe White in for Conca? If the rain comes down, could see big Griff or Vickery make way also..
There were a couple of occasions today where he didn't show enough courage at the contest. If Houli wants to go to the next level as a player and for the team to progress, this flaw has to be eliminated.
As already pointed out, the one in the first quarter cost a goal, but there were others.

I didn't see that, I did think their were two notable incidents where Houli was brave going back with high balls.
