Jake out ?

[SeaEagleRock8]

Not sure what the problem is, it has been established by statistics that we are a one-man team ... and that man isn't Jake!

 

[Brissie Kid]

Or big Solomon who gashed himself kicking out the glass partition in Biscuits Stanton’s office, after a difficult conversation.

I'd forgotten that one! Solo's career had some good stories.

Does anyone know if Lawton has played 13 previously? And or anyone in the current squad?

He can play anywhere bar Prop, Wing and Fullback from what I know. Am sure he has played some Centre as well - someone on here will know better but he can play 13 without a problem

Lawton hasn't started any games at #13 apparently. See the 'List' link for each season at:

Never seen so many off field training injuries. Oh for the simple old days, when John Jughead Jones got injured dropping a fridge on his foot.

Tom slipped in the shower...

surely that falls under your above definition of 'simple old days' injuries??

 

[ALinda]

One of the best was a player falling off a horse on a blues Origin bonding day, might have been Robbie Kearns

Speaking of unusual injuries, brought to mind David Cement Gillespie working as garbo on the morning of the '86 GF and amputating his finger by getting it caught between the truck and a telegraph pole. Times were tough then, having to work on the morning of a GF! Can't imagine any players working as garbo's now...

Sorry this is off topic, just reminiscing. Yes we'll sure miss Jake and his 40+ tackles.

Crusher Cleal was another garbo.

Ahh the good old days, when garbos actually had to pick up the bins. Modern day garbos are soft. Another case of technology producing lesser humans.

Thank god….I thought you’d lost your mind there.

I’m still posting on this forum, so I’ve clearly lost my mind. Lol

Pain in the butt: Jake Trbojevic racing clock to be fit for Origin III

Jake Trbojevic suffered a glute tear, not a hip injury, that has him touch and go for Origin III, as the secret sessions to help Tom’s hammys can be revealed.

I used to run the garbo with Richards 4 nights a week after I finished year 12 and at colledge for about 2 years. The money was very good at the time.. 2 bins a time like Crushers pic on the runs full of units. The worst run was "scatters" run around Terry Hills where you were on the back of the truck too much between bins...the stench was horrendous.

Did Richards become URM?

So, as usual, Fittler didn't know what he was talking about. Also, as usual, every injury to a Manly player turns out to be more serious than first reports indicate. Jake tore a glute muscle at training. May even miss Origin III if it takes 3-4 weeks to heal.

Richards has been the garbo collection company in my northern region of Queensland for quite some time now , maybe they have some type of a connection with U R M in other places . Bet you were quite fit or very fit in your garbo collection days.

Can we put this down to increased fatigue / stress on the body due to the new fast game (and extra origin workload)...

or was it just a f-up in training?

doctors only to reply.

 

[Supreme Leader]

I wonder if Jake wouldn't benefit from a 3 week rest at this time of the season. Gives him a chance to restock, freshen up and come as a ragging bull. If not physically but also mentally.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Yes this is his 8th full NRL season, he's done all the Test and Origin stuff, but he needs to win a grand final for Manly so please focus on that.
Hard to imagine he might fail to achieve that in his glittering career, but realistically we're looking at either this year or the next few if it's to happen.
