Interesting that Jon Wells on commentary last night described Eckersley as being quick but "not got the out and out pace of a Jai Field or a Bevan French" I'm not sure this is true. Zach has a background in athletics and was running 11.3 for the 100m at the age of 15 which is some serious wheels. I think he may well be putting pressure on Miski or Keighran soon in a bid to have him on the field every week as a backline with Bevan, Field, Marshall and Wardle plus Zach would be one of the quickest in the club's history
That is absolutely rapid. We've seen enough of him already to see that he has proper express pace. The thing which makes French & Field so different to other players how they combine their unbelievable pace with their agility, balance and speed of thought. They're the areas where Zach will need to improve to get to their level but that's obviously no slight on him at such a young age!
