Fair enough. His injury probably will set us back in that we missed out on seeing if he is capable of playing the type of football some of you think he is capable of in a better team.

I wanna see him lift his intensity, i wanna see the whole lift there intensity and become a ferocious bunch who hunt in packs and maul there opposition

Houla i can't see being one of those

1. Houla is far from slow, not Usain Bolt by any means but not a turtle either.

2. Whilst he does not have the "hardest" reputation, ssying he has "never crashed into a pack or put his body on the line" is ridiculous. There have been countless examples of him doing that during his career. The great tackle he put on Roughead (who is MUCH bigger in size) in the goalsquare is a recent example....

3. I think he has been a more than loyal servant to this club. I don't think he is on big dollars either, so your implication that he is a money grabber is unfounded.

4. He has been played out of position as a HBF for the majority of his career at the CFC and yet has still been a good contributor in that role. That is a position he is both not suited to nor comfortable with.

Houlas worth in this side is as a skillful forward option, which I'm sure you will agree - we are seriously short of. His game against Brisbane proved his value as both an attacking and creative forward. hopefully common sense prevails, and he is given consistent gametime in the fowardline from now on....
