Player Dallin Watene-Zelezniak

In a team playing attacking enterprise football, DWZ is one of the first names on the teamsheet.

In a team down on confidence doing alot of defending then you may as well play with 12 men.

DWZ is an experienced and talented player who was the Kiwis incumbent wing until he made himself unavailable.

2 Tests on the Wing since 2017. Played against Jamaica at the 2022 World Cup but didn't feature in the other 6 Tests that year

We can always count on you to keep everyone honest Cces.

My Warriors bias making up stories in my head

Now I'm off to bump the other threads so no one sees this

There were rumours he was on 800k a year, if true and he wants out let him go. If he is on a more realistic 500kish a year try to keep him for remainder of contract

NO way worth 800k ... surely that kind of money could secure a Reimis smith + still have some spare cap to throw around

He signed as marquee spine player by the Dogs at $850k, which turned out to be a colossal mistake on their part. They paid part of his contract when he transferred to us to get him off the books.

There is no way in hell that the Warriors are paying that for him. Guesses at the time were between 400-450. There were arguments at the time that that was still too much.

I feel so sorry for DWZ as every time he gets tackled it looks like he’s broken his jaw ?!!

Are you suggesting he pursue a career in Hollywood after footy? With those looks and that hair he could be the next Cliff Curtis, might even get a lead role.

Where would DWZ sit amungst our greatest wingers? Consistent try scoring ability, meters made with hard running kick returns and consistent penalty earner

Flawed defensive reads but seems par for the course for our best wingers!

Got to be in the running for a spot in our best all time 13?

Been a few years but Francis Meli was a very good tackler from memory. I would have him head and shoulders above DWZ.

Top 5 but not the top 2.

1. Francis Meli
2. Manu Vatuvei
3. Sean Hoppe

Fa'afili, DWZ, Fusitu’a... can't think of anyone else worth mentioning.

Haha I think Cappys commitment to him was what turned the fan base against him
