After watching his game again tonight I thought he did really well, however, his big test this year will be when he comes up against more seasoned bodies.

Didnt really notice him, not necessarily bad as a key defender, but not good. Noticed Jackson take a nice strong grab, only for him to kick it down the throat of a north player hahaha

No mention of any injuries to us in the match reports so far. Hopefully it was nothing much (a rolled ankle?) and we just took him off as a precaution.

Hardwick after the game praised Astbury for his job on Hurley. Dimma also said there were no injuries from the game so Dave's ankle must be okay.

Didn't really have a presence, did what he had to but wasn't noticeable.

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.

Honestly, probably where he belongs. Would love him at CHB would be a gun. He's an average forward. Hope the Bummers leave him there.  :pray

To be prudish I would say it appeared Hurley was well padded
