I’d suggest his GF moving to Sydney for a job and Manly’s upped offer had more of an impact

Tell the Seib lovers that.

Right on. Hurley burley, I was a massive fan back in the day. As I suspect most young lads were.

Yes, one of the highlights of getting home from school in 1977/78.

I met her years later at a Palm Beach reception place she operated. I was tongue tied.

Had no idea she married one of the guys from AC/DC. If only I was a mega rich rock legend I could have had a shot. Oh well.

Hopefully this means it's the last time we ever see Jake in the 13 Jersey.

I would run with this pack, assuming no other signings

13 Kobe
12 Burbo
11 Haumole
10 Jake
9 Simpkin
8 TKO

Bench forwards

Paseka
Navale
Bully

Prefer having Paseka off the bench going forward, and coming on with impact, with navale and bully.

Jake is finished and no way will add impact as starting prop, look at the Rooster young props and would carve him up.

I wasn’t anti DCE……I was anti the way he decided to go on national TV to air his decision. Completely different to the anti sentiment in here about coaches & players before they’ve even put on the maroon & white!

Everyone’s entitled to an opinion. Daley has been around long enough for people to form an opinion on him. Like I said, the negativity will go away when we start winning consistently.

If Jake needs to medically retire then fine. He should for sure. And we all know he is grossly overpaid.

But if you think he can't contribute 40 minutes as a prop in 2026 then you definitely watch a different game to me. 6 weeks ago he was our best player beating the Storm on their home ground.

I understand Kobe’s younger brother, Osaka, has agreed to a train and trial with the Sea Eagles.

I think Osaka is Kobe cox’s brother .

This year Jake made an average of 54 run meters
Zero tackle breaks .
1 off load total.
Five hit ups per game
2.5 post contact meters per hit up
Total run meters 840 (17 games)
93% tackle

And he will do what at prop exactly?

If he plays on in 2026, Jake will Captain and inspire the team, lead the middle defence, average twenty plus tackles per game (based on two twenty minute stints), tackle at 95% efficiency and compete at 100%.

I guess he is the Aloiai replacement. Remains to be seen who else we get in to replace Tevaga.

I reckon Navale is the replacement for Jaz
