Player Watch #14: Bachar Houli - Retiring at the end of 2021

[Roksman]

He said on the ch7 news tonight he "felt a slight twinge with 3 minutes remaining, it's probably nothing but will have a scan today"

I saw him pull up in the last quarter, it certainly looked like cramp as he "ran it off" and didn't go to the bench.

You would rarely see that if it was a hammy.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Bacha is a top bloke. Will be involved with the club for many years to come

 

[THE_GUN]

Only ran laps today, Looked ok but clearly being managed

[smasha]

Had terrific form all jlt and r1,will be missed.

Another premiership player injured.

Brave Tiges if we win,legit brave also.

Would've been good if there was a bit more on the severity. ie how many weeks is it looking like.

 

[BF Tiger]

Would’ve liked BH to sit out last week and play this week. Hindsight is always 20-20.

Hardwick said could have played this week if really needed but would prefer to give him the week off

Weather that turns into 2-3 we will see

"If needed"??? mmmmmm.... guess we'll find that out in retrospect!!!

 

[Tenacious T]

Bloody knew it.
Better be a one weeker.

Yep I guess what we saw wasn't a cramp!!

 

[Bazzar]

Hope this isn't the beginning of an ongoing disrupted season.

 

[TigerImposter]

Sorely missed tonight and revealed Markov is nowhere near his level. Have to manage him for at least two more seasons in the hope Naish can come up or another suitable replacement can be found .

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Markov, Menadue and Ellis are cooked. Naish I have my doubts too.

Maybe we should have a look at Turner and see if he's a squib otherwise we keep looking.

 

[Daka]

People continue to write Houli and Grigg off, only injuries have stopped in recent years these guys so far ahead of guys like Menadue, Ellis and Markov it's not funny..

 

[Dr Tigris]

Bachar would have been gold last night.

But he wouldn't have stopped the problem of the rest of the team playing poor football

 

[Zoom]

Bachar and Caddy would’ve made a significant difference. Not fifty points or whatever it was but at least we would’ve looked somewhat functional.

 

[richcogs]

If we finish top 4. Could Bachar be our only AA. Dusty would have a run at it but I feel there have been better midfielders in the competition this year. Bachar for his position has been outstanding this year, regularly makes the back flank position on team of the week. I don't watch other team's backline players closely enough to know who he is up against for a flank spot. Can anyone tell me who he is up against for the spot this year? Attacking back flanker.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Like a very good fine wine...just quietly getting better and better!

His biggest threats for the All Australian position are clearly Sydney Stack and Shane Edwards.

 

[TigerImposter]

I think he’s been up and down this year and bc of his lack of consistency he’s nowhere near AA. His season has been serviceable, but not outstanding enough to be an AA candidate.

Interesting, I would have suggested he has been quite consistent, but early on he was playing interrupted i guess.

He went through a blank spot after the Bombers game.

Agree...but before that easily All Australian with his efforts!

 

[Equus]

200 games coming up.
What a valuable servant for the club.
