SOO, Jake, DCE, general discussion

[Mark from Brisbane]

I predicted this and was laughed out of the house BUT of course not official as yet.

If so it’s a fair fall from grace.

Sadly there’ll be no Jake Trbojevic in the Blues team. He has been left out.

Big call from Freddie.

 

[swoop]

I don't blame Freddy, I think it might be the repeat sets Jake gives away, can't afford to be giving QLD too many leg ups.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Fabulous and hope DCE misses out for Qld as well

 

[mickqld]

Des strikes again. Killed another career with the way he coaches and the tactics he uses for certain players. Did it at the Dogs and now it's happening here.

 

[Shoe1]

Good for manly Saturday night, I’d rather have him out there tackling for manly. Also he will take it personally and have a big game hopefully.

Freddie will choose a team of roosters and panthers.

 

[Ryan]

Yup, Des Hasler is ruining careers here. Turning the players into almost rans.

 

[Brocky]

No way he deserves to play origin period!

 

[Ryan]

And if Slater is worth his weight, there's no chance DCE should be anywhere near QLD (but as a NSW supporter, I'm glad he will be).

Nathan Cleary and Jarmone Luai vs.
DCE and Munster

Let's see if Tony Mestrov has balls or not. The place needs a broom through it starting with the coach and captain.

 

[Nordburg]

Apart from his form(or lack of)and the form of other Locks/Front Rowers,he didn’t play games 2 and 3 last year due to injury so incumbency is hardly a factor

 

[Frogz]

Old Jake was good for 7 tries in 2017 and 9 tries in 2018... Des come back and its been 2,2,3 and currently zero. Des has impacted the way he played.

Nup. Prefer DCE gets picked so we can see how we go without him.

 

[swoop]

I've was never if favor of signing our present coach and I've said on numerous occasions that he is over-rated. He left us with a heap of back-ended contracts and did the same to the dogs. So he can't go out and buy a heap of players, that's been taken out of his hands and the results are there for everyone to see.

Apparently, Tupou will replace JAC. This seems a dumb move to me as the Fox is a proven performer in SOO. His pace will be missed.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Being widely reported now on InstaTwitFace, so looks like our Jakey has been dropped

 

[Disco]

Sad for Jake but happy for us

How many more years do we have the $900K Labrador for. No wonder we can't find a hooker.
$1.2mill capt confused goose
$1.0 mill porcelain bench ornament
$900K plodding labrador
$800K cornrows benchpresser.
Nearly half the salary cap.
God help us.

 

[ALinda]

Poor Jake but the upshot is its good for us. Freddie will (rightly so) pick players from in-form teams and we ain't one of them.

 

[Nordburg]

I assume Jake will be captaining against the Warriors now
