How was it when he kicked the ball and his boot went flying off after it?

Played a great game when needed. On another note what is it about our players and goal posts in Adelaide.

Was sensational yesterday

He along with Newman lead those kids to victory yesterday. You could see it!

Their actions simply said "we aren't losing this one boys"

Anyone who keeps saying he is of no value to our club and our Cubs is living in noddy land (with Hutchy  ;D)

 :clapping Totally agree, I am more than happy to wait until the end of tghe year to make my call on him. I think we should let him stay if he can play out the year and have form.

Believe it or not I don't like saying i told you so  ;D

But I've always believed that Cuz' value to this footy club cannot be measured simply by stats on the ground.

It is the other intangibles that we as supporters are not aware of. It just seems to me that in the last few weeks that's got lost amongst some of our supporters because of the medias need to take pot shots and their insatiable need to write champions off (at this very minute is Aker). Hopefully yesterday people saw it 

It was interesting to read what Newman said about Cousins in his interview in the HUN on Saturday and what an asset Cuz has been to Newman as Captain

Played a good game but one decent effort in the wet doesn't convince me that Cuz should go around again.
Let's weigh it up at season's end.

you dont think with coming delistings and retirements that we couldnt do with just a smidgeon of real experience magic. sheesh even without delistings we are devoid of it. leadership that is.

Not suggestng for a minute we should re-sign him. Have already believed it is an end of season decision

Just pointing out that it isn't about the number of kicks and handball he gets. It has to be about the leadership he brings and that's his biggest asset to the RFC IMHO

I think you are both right to be honest.  As MM says, let's weigh it up at season's end - has to be a decision balanced between the value of his experience and his returns (impact) on game day.  Not worth using a list spot if he can't get a kick but if he is still serviceable (without necessarily being great) and continues to provide significant leadership and mentoring then keep.  Unless Cousins himself says no any earlier, then I don't see the point in making a decision before the end of the season.

Saturday was a step in the right direction in terms of his form but I do not think that his leadership alone is enough to warrant another year on the list.

Can we draw any parallel to Hawthorns drop awy in form since premiership of 08 and the retirement of one of their great leaders Shane Crawford????

Every side needs that experience on the ground especially when you are bereft of it.....
