Jake in NSW camp today

[Mitch]

A few journo's have tweeted Jake is in NSW camp today, looking likely to be a debutant come next Wednesday evening.

Really proud of the young fella if this is the case. He really is made for the arena.

 

[The Who]

He is perfect for Origin.
He has a motor the size of Gallen's, plus all the ball skills that Gallen has never possessed.
Plus when he tackles he cuts down the opposition player rather than simply hold them up.

 

[Top End Eagle]

His post contact metres are his best asset. You don't need to be as big as woods or klemmer when you make every run as if the try line is just two metres past the first defenders.

 

[Holmsey]

He's the best lock in the game. Due to these points.

He's the best workhorse lock.
The best Ball playing lock.
One of the best wrecking ball locks.

He has all the attributes, Burgess workhorse attributes, Grahams ball playing and Taumalolos destructive capabilities.

Congrats Jake hope you have a great game.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Go get em young fella!!

 

[Supreme Leader]

Couldn't happen to a nicer kid!

Jake, remember they are Toads, and what should happen to Toads. Got a spare fairway metal for you if you want to borrow it!

 

[Harvies elbow]

Damn proud of him.
But I'll be gritting my teeth hoping he don't get hurt.

 

[manlyfan76]

Scored try's for Australia and now to debut for NSW.
After thus year he can retire from rep footy.

Just a shame his brother can't be in the team with him. Will have to wait until next year 🙁

 

[The '47ers]

As a Qlder, not since Beaver has Origin been so bittersweet for me. Beaver scoring in Origin sent my emotions crazy, I've a feeling Jake's gonna do the same

 

[Fluffy]

He is the logical replacement for Gallen, plays a very similar roll with a lot of years left in him. Add to that his better ball playing you can easily see him being one of the best ever.

It wont be long before Jake captains the Blues, he is a natural leader and he and Tommy are going to terrorise Queensland for years to come

 

[Pittwater Legend]

TBH you could have thrown Jake in during 2015 and he would have done our state proud. He has been the hero that the club needed through all the **** over the last few years.

It would be ludicrous to have a current Australian representative player, performing at that level and playing week in week out that quality not be in the side, it would have been a travesty for him to miss out.

How the likes of ferguson can still get a call up is beyond me though

well it would be ludicrous to leave Ferguson out being a current Australian representative player.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Good on you Jake
Should of been captain

 

[Dan]

well it would be ludicrous to leave Ferguson out being a current Australian representative player.

I dont mean due to form, I mean as a previous track record off the park

I cant believe he's not in the 13 , anyway not to worry.

 

[The Who]

Robbie Farah has dropped below Wallace and Peats as NSW's best hooker.
Also surprised that Brett Morris retained his wing spot. He looks past his best to me.
