Bachar Houli - بشار حولي,

Didn't look right to me. Was lethargic. At times his chases on opponents looked claytons-like. He'll strike back however he is in his twilight. Likely his last season?
 
I didn't think he was too bad, has lost a yard of pace, which is to be expected at his age.
 
It was Eid on Thursday. Maybe he over indulged.

Actually his workrate early was huge. May bave teeaked something as he struggled a bit in the latter stages.
 
Yep. Missed an easy spoil that cost us, went timid after a handball from Naish (I think it was) going forward and fumbled at a critical moment, got caught a few times.
There were two occasions where I thought he could’ve been more desperate and made an attempt to spoil. Have noticed him being ignored a bit, possibly because of Kane Cornes Syndrome - running to spots where he can get the ball, but maybe not to the benefit of the team. Late in the game, an opponent waltzed around him while Bachar looked powerless to quicken out of a trot.

His fantastic second half against the Dogs aside, he hasn’t been his usual self. Wondering if the injury has taken 10% off him, permanently. Hopefully he can find the extra gear for one last run home.

Looked real bad when he shat himself running with the flight. Those things are non negotiable’s in our team.
Is that the one where he was never going to get to the drop of the ball, saw a Tiger and GeeWhizz player coming full tilt from the opposite direction who were also not going to get to the drop n was smart enough to not get crushed by running into the incoming while creating a two on one loose ball situation?

No. It was the one where he shat himself under the flight of the ball and put in a number of short steps.

No one is saying Bachar is soft, but he was underwhelming more than once last night.

Just watched the replay earlier today, wasn't specifically searching for a Bash incident but I can't recall seeing him take a dump. When was it? I've got the day off tomorra so I might have a rummage n see what happened.
 
Constant fumbling and helicopter kicks without penetration.
Love Bachar, but sadly his stellar career is coming to an end.

Was shocking in the 1st half, thought he was good in the 2nd, looked to be running on top of the ground & gave good rebound & drive off back & beyond. Yeh was too fumbly at times, conditions & the lions pressure were big factors in our players fumbling, Lions train under these conditions so the slippery conditions was an advantage for them.

Houli's mistakes were amplified simply because he got the ball more than anyone else on our side. 27 for Houli ahead of Baker on 24

When he missed that pass going inside 50 in the 3rd, just rapped up his night.
He wasnt good all night.

Bachar may have got good numbers but that detracts from the fact he had a poor overall game tonight. Nowhere near his usual standard
Doesn't detract, it does the opposite, it highlights his poor form because you see more of it.

When Fart Cheee out mark him without Basher throwing in a fist started his rotten night.
Numbers mean *smile*.
27 touches 3 good things
Poor night for his high standards

Yeah we freed him up in the second half like the Bulldogs game. Might've been playing wing. Had a bit of the ball but hurt factor was low.
