Jake Trbojevic offers nothing in attack

[BOZO]

Well Penrith have won 4 in a row.
Storm are always there and there about every year, and are currently favourites to win the whole thing.
I would suggest that anyone who even remotely follows NRL would pick these two as the benchmark teams that everyone else is chasing in 2025, yeah?
You are correct though, I could have named the other 16 teams in my original thoughts, just to cover every possible scenario.

Thank you for your reply feathered friend .
Absolutely I agree with you that the Benchmark are the Panthers and the Storm 100%

This is also my way of thinking ..
We have three categories in the Pursuit to the 2025 Premiership
We have the The Benchmark Favourites Panther /Storm
We have the Challengers Which I believe are teams like Manly , Sharks , Broncos ,
We have the Probable's and Teams like Waynes Wabbits , Bulldogs
and We have the No hopers like the Mighty Mediocre Eels .
Have a Winning Day @mave and Go Manly !

I ABSOULUTELY hate 6 again, who ever made this change is an absolute joke.

I am not a massive fan of the 6 again, however, it has certainly sped up the game and kept the ball in play, rather than losing 30 to 60 seconds while a team kicks for the sideline and restarts, so that adds to fatigue and potentially more points.

I thought Jake had his best game in years on Saturday night and while he didn’t make a line break, as some have posted, probably Sipley was the only middle forward who did, when he scored his try.

Yep, our defence through the middle lapsed at the end of the game, however, that was just fatigue, as were the errors. Mind you, even Melbourne lost the 2nd half against Parra.

Best game from our Jakie in a long time.

And boy wasn’t he happy in the sheds post match.

Lives and breaths the maroon & white

Lives and breaths the maroon & white

Most Manly people do breath maroon and white
Fans put their money where their mouth is and become club members , go to games , club functions and buy merchandise
Players put their bones and body on the line when they play

Taking nothing away from Jake and the whole team effort
The Cows were Ordinary .
I want to see All our Manly boys have their best game against the more Competitive teams

Definite change to Jakey's body shape. Looks leaner and fitter.

That's what he needs. I hope he keeps it up!

He used to b able to attack, but that's out the back fence. Don't know why, he runs at the line and gets smashed. He should start slipping some passes before it or take a step or two and get a runner on both side for some late pass.

Do you mean Bozoup, feathered friend?

I’m going with “Sobo”

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I’m going with “Sobo”

Or Soupo.

Or John Philip Souzo.

I was very impressed with how Jake played last week

Tonight might be the worst game I’ve seen him play in a Manly jersey. Sin binned, awful ball playing, slow and lazy defence around the ruck. Really tough watch

This might be sacrilege but I'm not sure the team missed him on the field last night. Tevaga did a good job.

Jake could be moved to prop... but as with lock forward, we have faster, cheaper and more mobile options there as well.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

He should be moved to prop and probably have his game time cut to 55 mins. He's slow, gumming up the attack and is just too too predictable. Being hard nosed about it, I'd prefer the club not offer him another contract.

Prop and 45-50min

I personally think he is important to resign but 2 year deal on 500k

If Jake plays 13 again i might have to ask the Seibold Scavengers for membership in their cartel.
