A Wellington boy ignored by the Lions so plays for Manawatu. Ex U20s player and for the last two seasons has driven himself to Chiefs trainings without a contract. -
<p>Lovely pass.</p>

<p>pass had to be spot on, it was!</p>
-
<p>Rebs cross the line</p>
-
<p>My favourite bit was the Rebels giving their own player a very vocal serve at the end there for kicking it away.</p>

<p>Haha</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am glad he got a spray - the kick was mystifying.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of mystifying plays by the Rebels tonight all around though. They will be well served to watch the game on replay (which I assume they do with all games) and discuss each decision at length. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>E.g. the Rebels number 7 doing chip kicks in the red zone on two seperate occassions.</p>
<p>Other players forcing passes instead of taking the tackle and recycling.</p> -
Have to say I thought Weber was fantastic. Passing a bit wayward at times when firing to the typical 10 position but otherwise really key in just keeping the plays going with remarkable speed and decision making. <br><br>
Seu must be in AB selectors thoughts. -

<p>I like Weber in a big way and have his pic for my avatar. Last season he made some waves but he didn't know himself and would seem to listen too much to criticism, and would watch other halfbacks and feel he should be playing like them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This year he seems to know his game and to have carved out a consistent style of play.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He isn't as good as Aaron Smith by any stretch - but he is in the mix for the back up position. A few people on here don't like his service to the 1st 5 in terms of accuracy. But he gets it away fast from the base and gives his 1st receiver an extra half second to play with.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Needs to add a reliable box kick. Did do a decent one tonight but that aspect is probably still under the label of "developing".</p>
