    I'd like to see him ruffle Zaine's hair...

    Here I was thinking it was a continuation from the Tommy Bugg "Are you ready JasonJohannisen" tweet.

      As I said at the time Bugg can spend his suspension polishing JJ's Norm Smith and his Premiership medals. It's the closest Bugg will ever get to holding either of them.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Pick 62. Zaine might be our biggest draft steal since Chris Grant at pick 105 in 1989 (thanks Chooka)

              Fitting to bump this thread and ask how people saw Zaine's game on the weekend. Do we feel more confident of his position in the team? Coach seemed very pleased.

                He's a bit of an Enigma. Can be so frustrating at times but we do forget he's playing a lead role in our very young defence at the age of 21. With Moz out injured he's leading the charges when Wood isn't there (i.e. rd 1).

                I think he's developing nicely and had an excellent game yesterday.

                  Played a much better game and kept the forwards quiet. He looked determined to do a lot better than last week, as the whole team did.

                    Forgot he is still only 21. I see the logic of having him in different positions around the ground. I just hope if they expect him to play defence they give him enough time to learn his role. Has mongrel and this is what I love about him.

                      At one stage they showed him standing next to Daniher and Zayne looked like Joe's mini-me with the moustache and the frown on the face.

                        Re: Loving your work Zaine

                        I thought Zaine was a real positive yesterday.
                        One thing he has in spades is something we lack as a side - real mongrel.

                        "Sublime" was the word Bevo used - pretty handy to have a 19 and a 21 year old as the key posts in defence. That's 10 years worth of KPD posts sorted right there, with Lewis Young showing signs too.

                          Re: Loving your work Zaine

                          So long as the pressure up the ground is OK, Cordy has a chance to be really effective in a KPD post at this stage in development. I think he'll get better to the point where we'll see him become a strong defender that'll be a factor in opposition planning. If the work up the field is poor, he will have days where he'll get absolutely torched.

                          We know we will get the effort and combative mindset from him one way or another though, which is incredibly important.

                              Now it's your job to make sure you're within shouting distance of Zaine at every game he plays and yell "jump off your right" just before every contest until he remembers.

                                I meant his kicking with the left foot.
