Zerk looks more like Fletch in body shape so if he ends up at around 88-90 kgs he should be OK. This means he needs around 10kg on his frame and to increase his core strength as well.
Its might be a bridge too far to turn him into a Hooker at 197cm and 100+ kg
Zerk is almost the same shape The Langford was when drafted. He is reasonably slight above the waist, and quite solid below. He will have absolutely no problem adding, and carrying, another 12 - 15kg. And that will both add to his kamikaze attack on the ball, and his ability to not do damage to himself in the process. When that happens the guy is going to be an absolute wrecking ball. Love the way he attacks the contest.
Has been on a mini-pre-season along with Houlahan. Not saying theyâll have added 12-15kg, but theyâll be back playing shortly. And we definitely need that on this final run to finals!
I was told that they did the same with Mynott earlier in the year, why he missed for a chunk of games. So it seems to be a new thing that the draftees are doing, or being considered for.
