Nice guys always finish first.

I don't think the nick 'Total Package' is working out too well for Mr Zillman anymore. Maybe change it to 'Speed Bump' might be a little more accurate. As this weekend he's going to get carved up, a team with some nous would be running at him all day long..
Great as in he does some great things, but not one of the greats, if you know what I mean. Alby is great, Mead is great at FB, Don is great under the high ball, that sort of thing. But the thing is, it's been a while since Zillman was great at anythig. Like about 2009. Now we sometimes get flashes of very good. It's too few and far between for him these days.
Carter is great. :D
Obviously he will be Harro's replacement in 2015 (assuming he is signed up) so he will be getting all the minutes he wants then, and he should be getting 80 minutes while Harro is out anyway.
**edit** Carter is signed for 2015, so I assume he will be signed beyond this and be our long term lock.

Weather is looking ok.
Well, I'm entitled to my view, and my view is he was signed as a backrower. Backrowers are meant to take the ball up hard and play tough. Taka does neither. He's played the way he is meant to play (ie having a go) once.
I am used to watching Mini drop the ball, but at least Mini plays his guts out every game.
The criticism of Zillman by fans is justified, because he is an ordinary player in a key position who does not make an impact in the game, yet still gets picked.
Looking forward to James Roberts playing grade. He's such a good player. Just got to keep him off the drink.
Takairangi should be our utility coming off the bench instead of this ridiculous hooker rotation. He can strike and offload, given that now he has to wait for the limited opportunities that may come his way.
Todd Balym reporting on twitter that Meady has been moved to centre with Zillman going back to fullback
....
Yep confirmed, Zilly goes to fullback,
Hail Sezer must now swap his name to Hail Zillman as we all witnessed it here on the forum
if people plan to go to the footy, they will likely go. Rain destroys plans. While sunny weather has a far far softer effect and probably more on the fringes of the fanbase. So I fear rain.
