Zac Saddler

[Smokin Joe]

As reported yesterday,he has signed on with us and is playing in Flegg off the bench.Interesting guy...was signed by Crusher to the Dogs on a 3 year contract.Was apparently "a man among boys" as a junior and a standout. There is conjecture that he had a clause in his contract that he would be included in the top squad in the final year of his contract(can't confirm that)which would explain a relatively unknown player making a top 30 squad I guess(even though we have Kioa in ours).Has had a bad run with knee injuries which is not great,but was considered a guy with much potential and talent.
Has been playing with Moorebank Rams in the Sydney Shield and has been absent for a little while(last game was round 8).It seems that the club "MAY" have been trying to force him out to free up his spot in the 30 to bring in another player,and looks like it may have worked.Crusher might have been the reason why we are taking a shot.
Hard to get too excited about the signing,but with Pay and the Doggies poor record working with forwards these last couple of years he might be a diamond in the rough if he can play some regular footy....Hope he goes well and stays injury free.20 years old and 192cm and 111kgs means that it is not like he is past his use by date and maybe we end up with a player.His dad apparently played for the Dogs years back and is from Bathurst.

What are his strengths mate?
Is he just a workhorse, or does he run riot on the edges, defensively strong ect ??

Looks a little taller than 192cm but hard to tell,some reports had him at near 200cm...

I understand that Zac originally hails from Tenterfield.

 

[Woodsie]

Well, he doesn't have to walk around with the dogs now ...He is an Eagle now and can fly ... Best wishes

He said he grew up in Cooma .... but he is a prop and they are unreliable witnesss ....

Apparently we have signed this guy from the Bulldogs? 201cm second rower.

I think Smokin Joe reported this a day ago ??

 

[brad]

Just checked him out , a big buggar and has done his Acl already .

Will be interesting to see him fully fit and full of confidence. Crusher signed him 3 years at the dogs and has now signed him to us. Must rate the kid to sign him twice.

Sorry,should have clarified....born in Bathurst,grew up in Cooma. .Like me,born on Central Coast but grew up on Far North Coast.

Tenterfield saddler people. That’s what he means. Yes he isn’t really from tenterfield, it is a song by Peter Allen.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Who did Peter play for? Was it the other team?

I often wonder how to use the ironstone rating too. What’s the verdict? Is it good or bad? I always thought it was most likely sarcastic

I'm under the impression it's used more as an "Duh, good one ya Einstein!" sarcastic comment as opposed to a "Hey that was really clever" kind comment.

Always thought it was the way some Ironstine spelt it here once.

That was the origin of it (or oranges...if you're the president).
