The old adage. if you are good enough, you will get noticed and retained. Maybe Jacob didn't impress at the junior levels and Dogs were desperate and took a chance. They themselves have now changed focus and developing the juniors after years of neglect.

No he didn’t impress. In the interim prior to the Dishlickers, he was off playing in Norths’ lower grades.
However he would come in handy right now as a starting second rower, with energy levels we don’t always see from some of the club’s current candidates.

High school connection has Manly wingers soaring
Manly winger Tommy Talau looks across the field, sees Jason Saab and briefly forgets he's playing in the NRL.

Problem is the things that catch the eye at junior levels don't always translate to first grade. We have an ever growing list of next big things that haven't managed the transition.
Players that work hard, are team players and are committed to learning/improving, don't stand out at first but they have the traits that are key to a players long term success.
Bellyache has made his career by recruiting character first and ability second. It's a great tactic because eventually you unearth those rare gems that combine talent with work ethic and become superstars. No other club comes close as far as producing hall of famers or potential immortals.
FYI I threw up a little in my mouth while typing this.

Building the BFS/CoE has been a critical exclamation mark in the club’s history, at a time of so-so results on-field.
A very canny investment on the club’s behalf, combining a stand, club facilities and corporate facilities, for around $33m.
Meanwhile the Tigers spent close to $80m of taxpayers money on a CoE alone, at a ground which is not even one of their homegrounds!
Brookvale now looks and feels much more like a stadium and it highlights the ‘art of the possible’ when it comes to Brooky’s future.
Combined with the other corporate facilities at Brookvale, the ground must be one of the better suburban stadiums on that front.

Surprising, thought Penn's eyes would light up at that $350k "home" team bonus!

At last some common sense.
This was always a money grab and year after year we give the donkeys a home game.
They really hate coming to Brooky, it is without a doubt a ground where they experience true hostility and if magic pudding round continues up there, we should be playing different teams!

Too little too late mate. These morons have diluted and devalued season ticket holders investment over the years , it isn't funny.
Why wasn't round one a Bunnies home game? Why is it out country (Mudgee) game is always a Manly home game? Why do we play Broncos in Brisbane for our home game?
The club and membership team don't value season ticket holders and members, simple as that. Yet the price keeps going up, yet the product is still as **** as it was 10 years ago.

Well, haha, yep, spot on mave. That IS the answer sadly. Doesn't make it right though.
If they are going to charge extra, decrease the games played at Brooky, at LEAST improve the damned product.
Atasi James FFS???
Also, Ssop acquiring / playing washed up has brens if you want to devalue members / season ticket holders.
