Jake T.

Jake is the natural successor to $CE as captain but should he even be in the side next year? His game has been declining at an alarming rate and it’s not likely to get any better with another year. I think Jake himself is aware of this given the recent retirement/super league talks

5 runs for 29 metres in 80 minutes last night

Might be different if he didn't have a brain dead coach.

Jake is the good boy who does exactly what he's told to do.

I'm waiting for the "he's there for his defence" dribble that comes out.
TKO made 42 tackles (Jake 42) but ran for 157m as well! That's what we need, players that can contribute to both.
5 runs for 29m is embarrassing.

Also, Jake has to put a lot more effort into his tackling these days, you can see the early fatigue on Jakes face now.
 
Play him at hooker for the opening stanza for the initial arm wrestle. Let him tackle himself to a standstill and then bring on Simpkin once the game opens up a bit. The later on he can be a forward utility like Jazz is currently doing.

So basically use Jake like Jazz is being used this year.

I'd play him the last 30 mins to tackle and tighten the middle when fatigue rises.
