Jake Arthur

[Eagle 1]

Bad luck Jake , but your time is coming

Yeah, he's got 3 games pencilled in at least and half's cover in case of injury.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Jake will get a shot. I like that he continues to perform and work hard in reserve grade. He has a good work ethic and will have his day.

 

[Kalvin]

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.

Actuality a pretty good shout... we are in trouble should an outside back go down!

Then give him the 13 or 14 jersey Anthony !!

The unfortunate reality is that he's a better player than about 30% of the starting halves in the NRL so we have very little chance of keeping him

What team is going to sign him?

What team is going to sign him?

The Knights, Raiders, Titans and Bulldogs should all be interested.

Bump
Just thinking about one Jake replacing another Jake .
Jake T I believe should move into prop rotation
With Jake A playing lock he is young he is a good size he can tackle and he has ball playing skills
Thoughts ??

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I certainly agree that Jake T needs to be moved into the prop rotation and out of 13. I'm not sure about Jake Arthur at 13 as I don't think he has the physical presence required and would need to bulk up during the off season.

 

[Rocky]

i have seen the Jake Arthur to 13 a bit on here.

This position requires a lot of tackling and hit ups as you play "in the middle"

Jake Arthur is a thin half.

I don't get it personally.

 

[mosto]

I agree with Jake moving into the prop rotation, but I would rather see Croker at 13. He would essentially fill that Lawton role of backrower who can play hooker and, while I've defended him against a lot of the criticism he receives, I do concede a bit more zip out of dummy half would be beneficial to the team. Then, assuming we fill the 9 role internally, it comes down to Arthur/Simpkins/GKTC. I actually think with reports Jayden Brailey is being shopped around, that's an option we should be exploring.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I remember reading an article about Jake and found it
Just a view on it from a player who made the transition from the backs to the forwards
Yes definitely need a bit more filling out

Arthur could easily transition from halfback to lock: Lewis

NSW True Blue Luke Lewis thinks Eels halfback Jakob Arthur should transition into playing lock.

Interesting. Thanks

Interesting. Thanks

I'm just thinking out aloud
Some team changes or positional changes need to happen to improve this side

Agree it is worth exploring all options at 13, given Jake T needs to play in the front row.

 

[HK_Eagle]

And yet, watch Jurbo rolled out in the same role next year 🙄🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Whether you think he's a rep player or not, he's in the Kangaroos ( and Blues ) squad as a front rower.

Sieb's started to diminish his minutes this year so maybe the writing is on the wall.
The start at lock and move to front row without a rest for 80 minutes is good in theory ( about 2-3 years ago) but not in practicality.

Get quality 50-60 minutes out of him each week in the front row rotation should be the plan going forward imo.

Can Brown play a Choc type second rower role rather than a 13?

Although I was being cynical, I hope you are right for the sake of this team moving forward, Stu.

 

[manly al]

Only other 13 option and admittedly well out of left field again that i could suggest would be Talau .
Only based on the instance when he played or was named at 6 against Souths [ 2 nd game ] and did not seem to have an issue being a bit closer to the ruck and a good vigorous effort in the process .
More of a natural expectation to still keep him in the outside backs for most but just the definite need for an effective 13 and more scope for a regular position for Lehi .
Counterbalanced by the most likely requirement then to keep Garrick in the centres .
Guess the case in Talau 's 13 consideration , a fairly robust style of play in attack and defence , positionally looks quite adaptable and with a good range of all round skills and ability .
Possibility eventually with Navale there but, a lot of limitations with Jake T , Brown, Alioai and Jake Arthur going forward .
May seem a bit on the desperation side but can 't see the team improvement necessary without some major alteration at 13 , let alone a couple of other positions

Watched Jake play the two trial games and I am of the view his long term future in the game is in the forwards.

The coaches and development team got him over as a lock forward however they haven’t tried playing him there, that leg injury hasn’t helped his speed and it looks to me that it’s time for Jake to be given a chance there.
