Jake Arthur

[Will on the hill]

He's a half we slotted in as a hooker.

Cam Smith was a half and Cooper Cronk was a winger, it's not unusual for players roles to change as they progress through the grades.

I'm going all in on Arthur
He can obviously play a bit
Still have an opinion we need to keep Humphrey but let's put that in the locker for the moment
Instant Silvertails hero status if he can have a Cracker and we sneak home

Was?

I see nothing to suggest anything has changed.

 

[Ben]

I’ve got Arthur in a multi anytime try scorer. I can feel this omen bet coming in

Tough call. Humphrey or Arthur?

Or Humphrey or Arthur?

I wonder how long it will take before the MWSE website puts Jake in a Sea Eagles Jersey.

He is now on the website but still wearing his Parra gear:

I was waiting for him to start scratching at the spiders running up and down his body.

But at least they got Jake to do it this time, poor ol Condon got Mauro.

The kid can play and will do a good job for you guys next time DCE is out surely Johns doesn’t get another crack.
It was an absolute disgrace the way some of our supporters treated Jake.

 

[Remy]

If he started over Cooper we would've won. Wouldn't have had that edge ripped apart like it did and Schuey would've actually had some help in attack.

 

[rj90]

He'll definitely start next time over Johns.
If not, Seibold is fuked.

 

[Ashton Davis]

I thought he went ok yesterday and like others I also think the result yesterday could have been better for us if he played 80 minutes in the halves at the expense of Johns

Like you I thought he went ...just ok as well, nothing to jump up and down about. Put up a couple of kicks, not the best, Schu's were worse tho. Seib's not playing him till only 15 or 20min left didn't do him any favours, as this was the really frantic part of the match. Probably get the bench spot in the coming Phins game after the bye in a more friendly setting at Brookie.

Yeah, not starting Arthur but still having him on the bench was a very odd decision by Seibold. It undermined Cooper Johns, who was probably struggling for confidence anyway, and prevented us from having another forward or a genuine utility on the bench. And when Jake did come on, he had next to no chance to do anything. There was no benefit in it for anyone, and no benefit for the team.
