Jake Arthur

[stoodamire]

Woodsie playing?

Nope

 

[Under the Sticks]

Jake Arthur playing NSW Cup is like Ray Brown playing reserve grade behind Krillich. He would get a run in most other teams in his preferred position but playing the long game.

One of the best trainers in the offseason so looking forward to him playing.

 

[Will on the hill]

Nope

Bugger

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Jake should get the 7 job & deserves it.

But I don’t think Bully is an edge so think he needs to be a middle on the bench.

As to who gets to replace Schmole

That’s the reason Bullemor is likely to be on an edge,no real alternative.Id have thought Parker or Condon would of been rested from reggies if they were going to come in.Raiders have a good forward pack so not sure Parker is quite ready

 

[Ryan]

I'm glad quite a few of you see the talent he most certainly is. He's going to come up trumps over the next few weeks, and when that happens, I hope he forced his way into the team on a regular basis.

Not sure where you would play him if both halves are fit & playing.

I like Arthur, I do, think he is a very solid player with the ability to got on a have a decent first grade career.

But I also think we may be falling into the trap of over hyping here.

I dont think he starts in the halves at most other teams atm.

Not ahead of
DCE/Brooks
Cleary/Luai
Reynolds/Mam
Brown/Moses
Munster/Hughes
Walker/Keary
Johnson/Metcalf...Te Maire, CHT
Dearden/Townsend


I'd be willing to entertain opinions on a Arthur V

Strange
Gamble/Cogger
Sezer
Flanagan
Ilias
Nikorima
Hutchinson/Sexton
Boyd
Trindall

But Im not convinced he wins more than half these battles.

That said thinks he is a great back up option and will come in and do a job for us.

I watched the Raiders/Sharks game tonight and I think Jake Arthur has more upside than Kaeo Weeks. At least Jake doesn't mind rolling up his sleeves defensively.
A good off season on the weights and he could possibly push for a utility spot when Lawton goes to the Cows but still a longshot.

He needs to go on whatever offseason program Jamie Humphries went on this year

Lock, or utility. Lawton is moving on. Let's think about building to the future.

 

[nightster]

Arthur & Matterson ?

 

[manlyfan76]

With Moses out I wonder if eels fans are regretting forcing him out yet.

Have you seen Strange play? He makes clean breaks on a regular basis, and he'll be up against a new edge combination for Manly on Friday. Could cause us some grief.

Strange is a real talent and an exciting ball runner. I can see why the raiders moved quickly to extend his contract.

Yeah Id take Strange but I'm willing to have a debate with someone who feels otherwise.

Much like I think Sezer is a better fit for the Tigers atm then Arthur...but again, Id have that convo.

Bad luck Jake , but your time is coming

 

[manlyfan76]

Stand down and stand by.

 

[double hoops]

Hopefully JA or Paulo takes Woody's 18th man spot this week. It's not a prop we will need if called into the game.

Only a few weeks away I suspect.
Look forward to seeing him play in the 1sts. I thought he did a good job earlier this year during the trials and I really like how he steered our team around the park.
