I love Jake but it's hard to argue. He is our most important player when we don't have the ball but offers less and less with the ball with every passing season. If he was an NFL player and only had to play defence he would be in the all star team every year. If we swapped him for another 850k forward I'm not sure we'd be better off.

The frustrating thing is that a few years ago he was making line breaks almost at will.

That's the reason why I referenced Jake T as Manly's Tolman. He doesn't offer much in attack and doesn't do much when running the ball. What he does well is he plays his heart out and is the best defensive player in the game by far.

I don’t buy into the narrative on here that Jake doesn’t do much in attack. He finds his front almost every time hes tackled and gets a quick play of the ball. He also creates space for his outside men with subtle ball playing.

Sure, he’s not fast and doesn’t have the same attacking impact as the likes of Yeo or Murray, but he’s a damn fine footy player and we’re lucky to have him.

The modern 13 also requires good foot work who can also bend the line for that quick play the boy.

I wouldn't trade Jake for anyone. What he's got is not quantifiable...until he's not on the park. That's why he's first picked for Australia every damn season

until this season where he is not in the top 17.

People need to understand that there’s more to what a person like Jake contributes to the team and the club than what happens on the field. And even on the field, there’s more to it than run metres, post contact metres etc etc. statistics don’t tell the whole story.

Seriously don't need to listen, I've heard him talk about it that many times. The fact is, he couldn't handle the pressure. End of story. Too many words just continually reveal an insecure mind for all to see. Man up Seibs, you wanted this gig, and it's not for everyone. Politics comes with all top positions in society

Thank you @The Wheel
Seibs talks about his humble upbringing and how proud he was to have a great Dad to look up too

He talks about the Low times in his life and how Mean and cruel people can be and how these peoples personalised attacks affected his children which I am sure all descent people on here would find it sad and unacceptable.
We are all very passionate about our club and express our passionate highs and lows but we do not want to be like these cruel people that get carried away with personal slander attacks that would have a detrimental affect on any ones families

Seibs talks about his Dad also being proud of him and his achievements in life like all Dads are proud of us how ever small or great our achievements are and I just want to say and I am sure I speak on behalf of all on this forum that we want nothing more than Seibs to win a Manly premiership so we can all join hid Dad and his Family to be proud of our 9th Manly Premiership winner

The moral of Seibs story
In this Cruel world where mean people thrive on peoples misfortunes and failures
The Best way to rise above them is to strive for success , Win a Manly Premiership
and shut the Fckers up once and for all !

until this season where he is not in the top 17.

And look where that got us last night 🤣

Jakey does the dirty work no one wants to do. But you notice him not being there.
Anyone who an nfl fan he is your down in the dirt linebacker

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Aside from Turbo and Mole, we don't have anyone that can make easy yards consistently. The last guy that I remember who did that for us was Fonua Blake.

Yeah although he might not have the pace for a linebacker. Love him though. He's the heart and soul.

When is Couso back? We need some news of some sorts

Most only care for the highlight reel players these days.

Fact is, when Jake isn't there for us, NSW or Australia, a loss is the usual outcome.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

There is no doubt that Jake must be in the top 17 but not at lock.

Just catching his breath…pheww…after doing all that talking during a long season.
