Zane is a good player as Maguire is aware from his past
Highly underrated player, still a young kid in nrl terms.
He was one of the bunnies most consistent performers in 2017 earning him selection for the overwhelming majority of the season as against much fiercer and better qualified competitors in that side.
This was a year when the rabbits really struggled and if you look at their squad, they were understandably making a lot of changes to get that balance...Never reached. So to be selected so often was rare and speaks to his consistent usual 100 percent effort.
After that he had a run of bad injuries and then some behavioural issues in the post-Madge era, the effects of which are still lingering. He was hanging out with the wrong crowd over there. They just didn’t look after him properly. Like A.D.
For whatever reason, thus far in his career, he’s played his absolute best footy under Madge and nobody else.
So he’s obviously jumped at the opportunity to re-unite with one of his role models and someone who has shown a lot of faith in him in the past.
Hes in for a tough battle. Physically he’s looking very ominous. He won’t reach his best prop weight for 4 or 5 years.
I’d say this signing is directly attributable to Madge.
Destination Tigers. If he gets into his groove, he should be one of our top 3 or 4 players this year.
