Zac Saddler ... Indigenous team ..

[Woodsie]

I wasn't going to bother watching this game ... because I don't give a .... but now that I know Zac Saddler is playing I feel compelled to .... my only knowledge of him was his glorious 3 mins of brain fart at the 9's .. so I am hoping that that performance was "not his go" ... and that he is in fact the next big thing ....

... anyway, he is a Sea Eagle so I am hoping for the best for him ....

PSS ... how did he make this team in the first place ?? .. must have some farly good reggie form ??

 

[The Who]

Obviously nothing came of being placed on report for a 'dangerous' tackle in the Nines.
It will be good to watch him. If he's true to form he'll be involved in some dust-up.

Yeah him and Joel are why I'm watching.
I suspect a bit of Darcy Lussick fever with Zac...

Based on potential more than anything Woodsie...big firebrand type and every year the selectors pick a few Smokies...just happens this is a Manly player.
Had injuries setbacks and was lured from the Dogs, who rated him.
Opportunity knocks - who knows...another trying for a bench spot 2020

Good article in today's tele about him but you've pretty much summed it up right there...

It's also on the back page of today's Manly Daily "Eagle who nearly walked away".

At the end of the article it says "Saddler is also looking forward to opposing his Sea Eagles teammate Dylan Walker who is in the Maori team. "I will definitely be trying to test him all game, I'm rooming with Joel and we've been talking about bashing him", he laughed"

Good grief ... I hope he just has a good sense of humour .... but after his 9's performance that comment has made me nervous ....

I had no idea Dylan was a Maori...

PSSS .... am I the only mean spirited miserable cantankerous old bugger that is hoping Latrell has a shocker ...

 

[NYEagle]

After last year when they played about 5 anthems and had that ridiculous made-up indigenous dance and 3 Hakas. I'm giving this game a wide berth.

100% ... I shan't be tuning in until after the wank fest and goanna dance ...

Great game experience for Zac

Go Zac ! All the way to the very top of the NRL tree

He is descended from pitcairners and Maori. The pitcairners are bounty mutineers and Tahitians.

I’m looking forward to the game, and the cultural pride on display.

I hope Latrell plays really well tonight but has plenty of shockers for Souffs

So, a relo of captain Bligh?
Something like that...

Fletcher Christian. There are basically a handful of Bounty mutineers that all the Pitcairners are descended from, about half a dozen surnames on the island I think. And a fairly recent history of passing child molestation off as a ‘unique cultural practice’.

Well I was fairly close.
Well about as close as Manly and Parramatta.
Yes I read something not too long ago about that...

No Bligh was the one mutinied against. Dylan is descended from one of the mutineers I think

 

[Shoe1]

Walker's mother is a Pitcairner and his father is Maori. He is a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian on his mother's side.[2]
