Ziebell looks a keeper in this role. North gameplan is going to suit him nicely.
I ended up taking Ziebell out and replacing him with Fyfe.
Someone on here was saying how his own fans or players (something like that), don't even want him in the best 22.
I don't see how that could be remotely true when he's playing like this in the backline.
It was enough to influence my decision though, doh!

The ball will be down the North defensive end a lot this year but they will not get it as easy as they are this game. Eagles lack of pressure ATM clearly an issue both around the ball and when they get it into attack. North walking the ball out of their defence with ease and that is not good enough from the Eagles.

For the record I have Ziebell as well.

North fans definitely didn't want him in the 22 this season, but obviously Clarko does which is all that matters at the end of the day. Think a few North supporters will have changed this minds after this game - he's been a general in defence.

True but they're moving the ball well and are happy to slow the game down at times with kick-mark play. Plus he's taking most of the kick-ins which is a free +4 each time.
