do you honestly believe that Fa'aosso, Weller and even horo are generally safer with the ball in his hands than Zebby??

I beg to differ.

He dropped one ball when he first came on that was not purposesly sent to him. Give the guy a break. I like his size and he will be a future star.

Fair go sunshine.....

I didn't see Zeb do anything too bad to warrant critical remarks. He may have dropped the pill once but what did you expect, a hindmarsh performance.

Besides, he has killed PL to the point that he shouldn't be allowed to play that grade anymore. Fa'aso is good aswell, and will get a crack mid season once injuries kick in.

I'm sorry, but again...this is a classic case of only noticing what the man can do with the ball in his hand.

you're right..he runs with more venom than Zeb but his handling is twice as bad as Zeb while Zeb is a much better worker off the ball than Richie is. If we've got an opposition pressing our line for repeat sets I would much rather have Zeb back there defending than Richard.

Zeb is a work in progress.

Zeb did ok last week and he did ok last night.

yeah..he'll definitely get better eith every game as most players do when they're starting out their fg careers but generally speaking he offers that little more than Richard at the moment.

Ta Eela, I thought it had only been a few...

I think it's unfair to call the kid over rated, when he's only played 4 scattered games. I thought he was good last week, and fairly solid in the games he played last year.

We are using Zeb wrong!!!!!! He does not need to be running back into the ruck!!!! He is a wide running backrower, yet in first grade, they use him to take a hit up back into the ruck......let him settle into first grade before using him for that FFS!!!!

the thing is Korny he's been playing lock in PL for a few weeks now and roaming around the field in a attack.
