Jake T.

[spider]

The problem is he doesn't want to use that shoulder he hurt in SOO anymore, He has been grabbing player's not tackling ever since. Same go's for SAAB he won't stretch out and run properly because he's scared of doing hamstrings most of the time now if he gets in the clear he runs 3 quarter pace or turns and looks to off load.

DEAR JAKE, (if you read the mighty keyboard warriors heart felt forum)

WE LOVE AND VALUE YOU, JAKE YOU ARE MANLY DNA through and through.

God bless you for a speedy recovery.

NO MONEY is worth your health , you are young and have the world at your feet.

There is talk Jake could be rested for the year. That this is even being suggested should be a cue - it is time to retire (or go the Superleague, effectively the same thing). Jake has given his all for the maroon and white, he will be always be honoured for his passion but he needs take the hint, for his own sake and the club's

I don't get the comments seemingly wanting him to retire. Sure, we get a million dollars for next year Who on earth are we supposed to spend it on?

We're already losing Tevaga, Croker, Aloiai, Sipley, Lodge by the looks of things, and some on here want Jake to go as well.

No doubt those same people would also complain about how unfit all our young middles are next year.

It's all or nothing for some. We're already losing half our ancient pack, the halfback and captain who has been here since the T-Rex, and then they want to throw Jake and Seibold in there too.

We are 10th. We are not 17th. To quote my least favourite generation's slang, "take a chill pill".

I suggested for his health that he retire but I want him as our defense coach in place of Dymock. I don’t want him going to Super league!

Agree can still get head knocks in super league.

Jake is cooked. If we are all honest he adds little in the modern game.
The entire supporter base wants to remember the bloke as the great Eagle he was prior to the rule changes .. for the sake of another year I hope they make the right decision. It was hard to watch last week seeing him in Disneyland again.

He will offer the club a lot in other capacities going forward.

Pay him $400k and play him for 20 mins a match like Madge did in SOO. He would be great in that sort of role.

...unless he gets knocked out
And that's the issue now.

You know Turbo has made 102 tackles this year and missed 19.

Lehi has made 65 and missed 23.

If they were the same age and started the same time then yes it somewhat matters. Not to mention one is destined to take over the other at some point.
