Jorge is back!

[40 nil]

Cust, Keppie, Garrick, Olakau’atu, Funa, Schuster, Saab, Tuipulotu, B Trbojevic, Koula have all been young and had a fair run at first grade

However, at least five of these debuted because of injuries to top 17 players at the time.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Injuries have resulted in Jorge getting a run back in first grade I for one is glad he got chosen he is a favourite of mine and I hope he goes well I don’t think he will hold his spot when the others come back , Jorge will give his best and won’t shy away that’s for sure
GO JORGE

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Hopefully we get to see him bangng out the team victory song!

 

[Eagle 1]

Does anyone else give out a santa claus laugh and say 'that's classic' when they watch this. I just did

Seen this a few times, Munster just gets a half second glimpse of Jorge before impact, he virtually bent him in two.

As is the case with the majority of debuts handed out

If we use the Roosters and young kids as an example, Sam Walker and Joseph Sualii weren’t walk up starts in the 17, they got a chance because others went down

and the ones who showed they were up to it have held their spots.

 

[ManEagle]

You seen Saab try to turn

He doesn't need to turn, he back peddles.

 

[Eagle 1]

I’ll cringe if he makes a few mistakes early but golly gee I wish him all the best as he’s certainly been a trooper for us for a very long time !!

Hope he gets to put on another shot on Munster, I wonder if it's possible for Jorge to improve on his last one.

As Mark put it earlier this is not the game to gamble with youth in

I agree, as I said weekes will get his turn however against weaker opponents. This is a must win game not the time to experiment.

 

[BOZO]

I am happy with Jorge in the team
I am also happy because he gets a chance to end his career with us on a high note
I am happy because I believe he will do the job for us
I would also be happy if Des brought in young players that have the skill and natural ability to do the job like Weeks . I do not believe you gamble with players that have the skill and ability to do the job .

Australian Olympian Lachie Miller stuns on debut for Cronulla Sharks​

Aussie Olympian Lachie Miller had a sensational NRL debut at fullback, scoring an 80m cracker in front of family and friends.
“I loved my time in rugby union but when I was young, it was a dream to play NRL. Since coming back here with this group of boys … it’s like a family. They got me to a position where I was ready to debut and I can’t thank them enough.’’

Lachie Miller also says he enjoys his days off training at the sharks as he can go down to the beach and watch the (pep) tides roll in and out.

90% of rookies start that way !

 

[Red Baron]

Not going to lie... a little worried about him and Harper defending together!

Storm up by 10 already

 

[Manly Turbo's]

We can make this work. It all comes down to how hungry he is and I would reckon that he will be extremely pumped to perhaps keep a spot in the team. He runs hard and could cause the Storm some issues if he gets his play the ball right.

Watched his post-game interview.

He sounds like a real country boy…hey?

 

[Pete the Eagle]

Well if you buy tickets for the game get 2 so at half time you can change sides as all the attack will be down that side and all kicks to Jorge , hope he has brushed up on catching the ball and not rushing up out of the line , god help us , i like Jorge but gee i hope hes up[ to this .

 

[Hotspur2014]

Memo: To Des Hasler
Walker in and Harper out before kickoff !
How much better does the backline look doing this !!
How Harper continues to be selected is beyond belief - I have never seen a player make so many mistakes in the NRL
Common Des wake up !

 

[The Indian]

I'll be watching this with hands covering my eyes. Nothing personal against Jorge he's been a great trier for us over many years but I don't see this ending well at all for Jorge or for us. Can't think of a worse scenario than an angry Storm looking to bounce back and us with a makeshift backline trying to put out fires. Sheesh.

That said if you're not gonna use Jorge with all the holes we have to fill in the backline then why sign him in the first place ( I wouldn't have but whatever ) so I get why Jorge is in.

Best of luck, will need it.
