Former Broncos halfback Shane Perry, who once captained the Redcliffe Dolphins, has only words of praise for Strasser."I know Zach and I do a bit of work with the halves at Redcliffe, with kicking and that," Perry said. "I've kept an eye on him and I think he will go well if he knuckles down in preseason. "I had a chat to Hook (Broncos coach Anthony Griffin) about him and he is one of those naturally-gifted players, of a similar mould to Daly Cherry-Evans. "He seems to have a lot of time with the ball and goes to the line well. "Good halves always seem to have a good amount of time with the ball. "Defensively he is pretty good too but it won't hurt him to put a bit of weight on." [/I][/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
