Jake Trbojevic offers nothing in attack
Never quite understood the argument of who would make the 80-odd tackles if you took Jake and Croker out of the side.. probably whoever was to replace them? Hookers and locks defend in the middle for most of, if not the full game every week so of course will top the tackle counts. Croker's...- JakeyB789

The No-Look News (Schuster Chronicles)
I had this view at the time, and still do to an extent, but I'll give Foz some credit in that he was a pretty important player for us in that '21 season and played just about every game over the 2 years he was back here. Schu also had his best (and only full and productive) season for us that...- JakeyB789

Round 1 side , your best guess
I think that’s probably exactly how we line up but I’m not sure we need 3 middles on the bench when Jazz can also fill that role (definitely not an edge). That’s where I think you can still fit Talau in, mainly as backline cover and give him some reps in the backrow to see if that may work...- JakeyB789

Sea Eagles Elimination Game 2025 (pre-season forum game)
I don’t mind Bully starting and I thought he looked quite good doing so in the trial, but I do worry we’d lose some of the impact he brings off the bench. Either way I’d definitely be finding a way to give him more minutes and would also like to see him share the field with Paseka more often...- JakeyB789

Trial V Panthers
2011 is 14 years ago as he said Hopefully we can at least make one more prelim with him before he retires. I mean we’ve only seen one in the 11 seasons since the ‘13 GF, and that was completely reliant on Tommy as well- JakeyB789

Imagine this will probably be my last vote but I enjoyed this, glad it’s these two guys at the end. All wrapped up over a week before the start of the season, some of the posts earlier in the thread would suggest that was never possible Tom Trbojevic (11) - - - Haumole Olakau'atu (4)...- JakeyB789

Trial V Panthers
Koula was quiet but he still had 7 runs and 71 metres more than the centre on the other side who was also captain for the day. Wouldn’t read much into their performances anyway given they were missing their usual halves and second rowers inside them. Disappointing game for sure but at least...- JakeyB789

The first 8 rounds will define the year
It's an interesting start to the year for sure. Realistically we shouldn't be dropping any of the Brookie games with Melbourne being the biggest test, but we have beaten them the last 3 years in a row at home. Dragons on Easter Thursday could be more challenging than expected due to playing in...- JakeyB789

Bench for 2025
I’m with you but TKO is not an edge player and neither are Bully, Tevaga, Brown etc. I don’t rate Burbo but he’s marginally better than both Waddell and MCK, and those are the only left second row options we have to choose from. We shouldn’t have let Lawton go (or S Fainu if we want to go...- JakeyB789

Bench for 2025
Nothing wrong with carrying a back on the bench in the modern game with HIA's and injuries. I wouldn't be relying on Burbo covering the centres either when he was mostly poor there last year and should be focused on becoming a more consistent first grader as one of the few second rowers in the...- JakeyB789
