A little bit in 2 minds about him after a couple of the things that have happened recently, but for a long while people have wanted a JWH type enforcer.

This guy could be as close as we may come to that.

Willing to give him a chance to show us what he has, because he just may be that guy.
 
Zane can play, there's a reason why he debuted at 19. he's an agressor and that can sometimes get the better of him but that's a quality we have craved in our forward pack for years. the amount of wraps Tamou gave him in preseason makes you think he'll certainly be a big part of our team this season and going forward. losing him considering our draw for the first couple of weeks isn't ideal at all, but I think providing he stays injury free he'll certainly live up to expectation.
 
I wonder if the coach spoke to Madge about Musgrave .....how to get the best out of him without turning him loon ....

Obviously playing for your culture could get very emotional to many players

Not making excuses ...but some players like Musgrave play very close to the edge .....doesn't take much to push them over
 
Just saw the hit and was a shoulder but no contact with the head! The fact he was suspended for 2 games is a joke! Peachy puts a shoulder on towards the end, is he missing any games?

I wonder if Madge was too concerned with him, not ideal to be suspended, but his game is exactly what we need.
 
Damaging prop Zane Musgrove is ready to be unleashed when he returns to action for the first time this season when Wests Tigers face Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Maori representative missed the opening two rounds of the season after copping a two-game suspension for a shoulder charge in the All Stars game.


After serving his suspension, Musgrove is eager to go this weekend as Wests Tigers look for their first win of the season.

“I’m eager and ready to get out there because I was pretty disappointed to miss the opening two rounds,” Musgrove said.

“I feel like I owe it to the team. I trained hard in pre-season and I felt like I let the boys down.”

Musgrove admits it was hard watching on from the sidelines and not being able to help his teammates as they struggled against the Raiders and Roosters.

“I tried to try to prepare the boys as best as I could, but it hurt not being out there. I felt helpless because the boys were doing the tough yards,” he said.

“I feel confident and ready to go. I’m focussed on my job and I’m ready to play my part for the team.”


Wests Tigers skipper James Tamou is looking forward to playing alongside Musgrove in the middle for the first time on Sunday.

Tamou has liked what he’s seen from his fellow middle forward at training and can’t wait to see him out on the field against the Knights.

“He’s been seething through the teeth to get out there. He’s like a caged animal ready to go. He’s ready to be unleashed,” Tamou said.

“He’s ready to go and I can’t wait to play alongside him.

“He brings so much to this team — lots of aggression. In the middle, he connects us a bit more. Zane will bring that for us and I can’t wait to rip in with him.”

Oh God here we go again. Another fluff piece about a player ready to ‘rip in’ because he feels he let the team down, only to go missing again on game day. I really wish they would dispense with all the pre-match rhetoric and just go out and perform as a committed team on game day. These articles only serve to make them look stupid when they don’t do what they say they’re going to do! How many times has it happened now? I’ve lost count.

Let’s hope so and let’s hope his teammates do as well, otherwise he’ll be a one man show.

Did you watch the All Stars game? Excluding the shoulder charge I thought he was the best forward on the field.

I remember the commentators saying the same thing

14 runs for 120 odd meters
72 post contact meters (most important stat imo)
46 mins

The only forwards who clocked more were David Fifita and Fisher Harris but they played. Close to 80
