When U called hiuseless on the weekend it was for his lack of urgency and mental fragillity giving away that ruck penalty
Jakes ruck penalties just scream a lack of resilience, the timing of them, ahh they are weak when he needs to be enjoying the grind, he is slow when it's time to step up the intensity. It screams of the mental fragillity we have all come to hate about this weak team of ours over recent years.
I hate seeing anyone get knocked out. Useless was never directed at Jake for that, and well before he stuck his head on old mates shoulder
There's plenty of you unhappy Navale hasn't seen more A grade, unfortunately Jake given he's playing 13, he really is Navale's biggest impediment to first grade.
This week with Weekes having the better of Turbo. It a good reminder that it doesn't take long before the apprentice calls no one master.
Our club doesn't grow much of its own talent to start with, it just increases the need to find ways to keep your best home grown kids. Navale needs a spot.
Jake, I can't see him not going around next year. But I seriously think Jake warming the bench is what should be being discussed with him right now, given its contract time.
Andrew Fifita got to win a comp moving back to the bench and helping generation next.
Same with Turbo, Lehi is our current 1 for me never mind the future, Turbo at centre, five eight the way he plays it probably matters little which. But freeing him up by getting him out of the 1 has been good for the team. Just as dangerous floating In attack.
I'd be giving Turbo the Captaincy next year. He's already a leader in this team,, he's a talker, but not a ranter like Jake, getting Turbo out of the 1, its the team first play and the mature play we need from a champion we want doing more controlling and calling the shots as opposed to being our do it all himself man he so often has been wearing the no 1.
