Pffft, I suspect he knew he'd be playing on, contract ready or not.

Richo was on singles for a good five years or so...

I want to know what sort of training program he’s on to have the biggest biceps in the club

Did anyone notice Houli's role in yesterday's match.

Not playing loose man but had a player to mark up and no kickouts.

It was his worst game for the season.

I thought he was solid.

Happy to watch the replay and reassess knowing the result/without the extreme stress I suffer from live games haha

Georgy what did I post that was incorrect?

Was there another game this year that Houli performed worse than yesterday?

So you were happy with the amount of 50/50 contests he lost.

I got time to watch the replay this afternoon and Houli’s game was pretty standard less the kick ins and the cheap around the back ones he gets.
Hence only getting 15 touches, not 30.

Houli had a very average game, easily his worst for the year. He couldn't get the space he usually gets, they were onto that and nor could he run himself into the game.
But it has been a ripping year, best I can recall for the Tiges
Yes he gets the 'cheap ones out the back' but isn't getting the ball to the best kick in the immediate vicinity part of the design? Do you really want Broad munging it forward?

If they haven't got it yet the club needs to get his signature before the prelim, or the price will just keep going up.

At least he gave 50/50 contests unlike some in the team. He remains a far better option than Short and Ellis despite his shortcomings.
Have always said we can only afford to play one  of the three at any given time and for me the one is Houli.

It has remained a big concern that we also play Baker down back a fair bit as well while he has a real go he is diminutive and exacerbates a problem.

I thought Baker was fine the last few weeks but ideally should be in the forward line for me.
