Player Watch Jason Horne-Francis - You were always one of us

[PortWTF]

What are they even going to do to him? You can't do anything these days except give him a few chest bumps and call him names without giving away 50m or being suspended.

, a teammate of the duo last year.

Bosenavulagi told The Advertiser that Zurhaar and Horne-Francis’s personalities clashed and they “were always at each other’s throats at training”.

“There was a lot of banter internally with Jason, he was very competitive so had some beef – not serious beef – but there’d always be boys he had one-on-ones with and at times it got pretty physical, so I reckon it’ll definitely happen this weekend,” Bosenavulagi said.

“I reckon Cam Zurhaar will definitely have a piece.

“I don’t think they like each other that much, so that’ll be one to expect.
“There’s a definite rivalry between those two.

They had confrontations here and there, they were both pretty competitive at trainings, in the gyms, basically anything they did

“A lot of times it got heated … and a few times it did go pretty far verbally.”

Bosenavulagi expected the Kangaroos to make their presence known to Horne-Francis from before the bounce.

“I think they’ll definitely try to get in his head early in the game,” said Bosenavulagi, who played 17 games in two seasons at North Melbourne before being delisted in October.

“He will be expecting that.

“There’ll be a lot of off-ball talk, a lot of off-ball hits, but I don’t think Clarko will emphasise it a lot, I’d think he’d emphasise the importance of the game.”
His consistency, level-headedness and influence on matches have caught Bosenavulagi’s eye.

“Playing with us, he was showing glimpses but now he’s doing it a lot more,” he said.

“He can definitely be one of the best mids in the game if he keeps going down this path.

“He looks more comfortable and he’s not hot-headed like he was at North.”

Fijian-born Bosenavulagi said he had a good connection with Horne-Francis, but that the South Australian was not himself at the Kangaroos.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Lol. Norf hardman Zurhaah let an 18 year old get under his skin constantly at training. Maybe winning at making handbags is more for him

 

[Macca19]

I just hope he has a mature game, doesn't let anything get to him and doesn't give away 15 free kicks in retaliation

 

[Harlott]

I just hope he has a mature game, doesn't let anything get to him and doesn't give away 15 free kicks in retaliation

Anything more than 5 free kicks will be an indictment on the coach.

He tried to pick on the new kid and then couldn't handle it when he didn't back down.

I’m not a booer, sounds stupid.

But booing ex players or ex players of your rivals is traditional!

It’s not the same as the booing of JHF by Collingwood fans etc.

It’s totally understandable for North fans to want to boo him. Just weird from the others. If I was a North fan I’d be a bit pissed that the other teams took that element away from them.

As for booing in general, if it puts off an opponent and helps Port win (and it isn’t racist/homophobic or potentially so) - ******* do it .

I've booed in 3 situations this year already.

At Taylor Walker.
At an SANFL umpire, when Nick Moore got his head smacked clean off his shoulders, and bled all over the place and the ump called play on.
And random oppo players lining up for goal.

If I were a north fan I would be pretty pissed reading that article.

Imagine having some spud who playacts as a hardman and chases young talent away from your club because he can't handle them standing up to him.

And your club backs in said spud rather than the blue chip first year player because it's lost all compass as to what a proper club culture looks like.

Great post. Just one more way they screwed it up.

So a senior employee with less talent in his entire body than JHF has in his left nut was constantly berating and bullying him at his workplace, and JHF decided to leave. I can't imagine why?

Yep it doesn’t really paint Zurhaha in a very good light but of course Norf fans love him, along with that other upstanding person, Tarryn Thomas.
