Zantuck

[pebsy54]

Last season Zantuck was comfortably in our top dozen players, what happened?

They tried to turn him into a forward pocket. It didn't work. So instead of putting him back in our underperforming backline (where he is comfortable) we drop him to the magoos where he loses more confidence. When he is finally picked in the seniors he's benched until the oppositions best forward has kicked four goals (and is choc full of confidence) and asked to do a job on him.

Now he is trade bait. I find it a bit dissappointing that a bloke like this is ditched while other blokes underperform week in week out who play similar positions (re: Gaspar, Chaffey).

Absolutely spot on pebsy - not everyone would agree with us though

From what I've read there are some behavioural issues as well as form issues with Zantuck. If the guy is not of good character he may be having a negative influence on some of the other players. I wont be too upset if he leaves. Hopefully he still has some trade value.
