Zac Guildford

Hmm Ma'a Nonu anyone?

We already sign him once before and he back out of the contract :deadhorse:

Yeah that's what I was getting at…

No more wingers please. Matter of fact, no more anything for me right now. I'm pretty happy with the group currently. We have improvement to come in some potentials and improvement happening with those we've persisted with for a bit now. I think juggling things around would be as beneficial for us as adding. If only a little magic could happen around the halves.

I'm pretty happen as well. However what we do lack is a goal kicker, playing their correct position.

Remember Darren Clarke with Balmain when Alan Jones was coach, big flop.

Big difference between a rugby player who played rep footy and an athlete with zero serious football experience.

I wish people would stop using the word "journeyman" to describe players who've been at a lot of clubs. A journeyman is a solid but unspectacular professional, not one who's been lots of places. Chris Lawrence is a journeyman. Sonny-Bill Williams is not.

A "journeyman" is a skilled worker who has successfully completed an official apprenticeship qualification in a building trade or craft. They are considered competent and authorized to work in that field as a fully qualified employee. A journeyman earns their license through education, supervised experience, and examination. [1] Although a journeyman has completed a trade certificate and is able to work as an employee, they are not yet able to work as a self-employed master craftsman.[2] The term journeyman was originally used in the medieval trade guilds. Journeymen were paid each day, and this is where the word ‘journey’ derived from- journée meaning ‘a day’ in French. Each individual guild generally recognized three ranks of workers; apprentices, journeymen, and masters. A journeyman, as a qualified tradesman could become a master, running their own business although most continued working as employees.[3]

Guidelines were put in place to promote responsible tradesmen who were held accountable for their own work, and to protect the individual trade and the general public from unskilled workers. To become a master, a journeyman has to submit a master piece of work to a guild for an evaluation. Only after evaluation can a journeyman be admitted to the guild as a master.[4] Sometimes, a journeyman is required to accomplish a three-year working trip, which may be called the journeyman years.

I've watched a lot of Zac Guildford. He is a winger, but he plays like a second fullback. He loves to roam around the park looking for offloads.

He's also a former All Black who once scored four tries in a World Cup game (albeit against Canada).

There's the discipline history though. He's been in a lot of strife in his career.

Zac Guildford is as talented as you can be.

Has had off field issues in the past but I think that is behind him.

We have plenty of wingers .we don't need this guy to be bought and tried as a centre like he will be . Two genuine centres and the rest will happen .not another winger please

If you think Rankin and Noffa are plenty of wingers then yeh, JAC is not yet signed for next year, and I for one will be deadest spewing if we have another year with Rankin on the wing. :crazy

 

[NZTiger]

Yep being originally from the Hawkes Bay, I was pretty excited about seeing Zac in a Tigers jersey this but the more I think about it, I'd rather we go hard in trying to keep JAC.

And yep, Zac's had a lot of off field issues. I know people back in the Bay who were friends of the Guilford family and drinking is a pretty big culture for them and it's got Zac into a lot of trouble, unfortunately.

i remember years ago - i asked a question on the forum when Matt Groat was being talked about - I asked the question "who is Matt Groat?" and they came down on me like a hail storm - I've learnt my lesson - good luck to the kid
