With Woods and perhaps Boyd unavailable, surely Jake now moves into the 17. Noting he had already been called into an extended squad when Paspalum was axed.

With Woods out, Meninga has overlooked Jake as the 18th man and brought Andrew Fifita onto the bench.
He'd be tripping about that Kiwi pack. Tapau, Taunololo, Hargreaves, Bromwich. That's a sh1tload of X factor. Still, Jake will never let you down, he's going to make 150 odd metres, 25 plus tackles (95% of them will be effective) and minimal errors. Fifita on the other hand might make a match winning move, or have a Brain explosion that costs him the game.I guess Meninga's talk of loyalty only extends to Queenslanders.....
I guess they see Jake as a lock and wanted a genuine prop to takeon the kiwis massive forwards.With Woods out, Meninga has overlooked Jake as the 18th man and brought Andrew Fifita onto the bench.

Trent Merrin gets whatever he wants, it's just the way it is.How does Trent Merrin get selected for these teams? Solid first grader imo but thats about it. To me (and I am very very biased) Jake provides so much more.
Lock these days is an extra middle forward and there is not a lot of difference between that and front row.
Fox sports reckons Jake is on the Bench cos Shannon Boyd is out aswellWith Woods out, Meninga has overlooked Jake as the 18th man and brought Andrew Fifita onto the bench.
