I mentioned to him that when I get home I can bet that when I get onto this site, there will be people demanding for Zillman to be dropped, and probably Mortimer. GB could not understand Zillman being targeted. He said " he is a very good fullback and he had a good game today, particularly as it was his second run after a spell. He said Neil Henry and Terry Matterson have a high regard for Zillman and deservedly so. In regard to Motimer, he said that he provided energy that Friend didn't provide but he also said that he has a lot of errors in him. GB doesn't think Mead is a better fullback than Zillman yet but when he learns a few more things and stays in the game for the full 80 minutes, he could be really good. He spent the rest of the conversation raving about Dugan.
