I'm sure Sam T knows a lot more than he's saying (in public, at least), but you have to say, the Warriors do look a complete car-crash, and it's clear there's something radically wrong with the set-up there. I know they've been really unlucky losing RTS, but nevertheless, when you look at the squad they have (including the most skillful individual player on the planet), their results are rubbish. And have been for a number of years. Coaches come and go, and none seem to make a lasting improvement.

They were two of the players dropped due to attitude etc. I think Sam commented on the unprofessional culture which actually shocked him when he arrived at the NZW.

Confirmed he has been released. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

I think it will be another NRL club or Union. If he comes to SL I doubt it will be with us which we may live to regret.

I don't for 1 minute think he or the NRL players behave any worse or better than out lads do, I just think they are under the public eye a lot more and so when they do act about it gets highlighted more.

He will put bums on seats wherever he end up.

A lot of Titans fans seem to want David Meade on the Wing and think Zillman is terrible at fullback. Plus, a few of the news articles in Aus described Sarge as a fullback.

They also describe him as 'English gun centre'. I'm guessing this means that he's a killer striker.

I wonder who they've been listening to.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed May 25, 2016 12:15 pm  

Well, Mead did well at full-back when Zillman was out injured, but I don't think Zillman is a poor full-back by any means (although he looked a bit rusty in his last game). Better than Sarge, anyway!

I go on a few NRL forums, and the general consensus from Titans fans is that Zillman is not a good full back. Or at least, he is not liked there by Titans fans.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed May 25, 2016 6:53 pm  

Well, as I said, he's been a bit scratchy lately coming back from a longish spell out injured. And Mead did do well in his absence. But he's been the Titans' full-back like, forever, really. Since the days of Mat Rogers, I'd imagine. He's a good solid pro. I'd have him at Wigan any time to enable Sam to move to 6.
