Jake Trbojevic .... Destined for greatness

[KOMORI]

Hits the line hard, and is a hard hitter in defense. Opposition forwards are looking out for him already: they don't wanna run into THAT shoulder twice lol.

Massive potential. Sign him up forever. Now.

 

[KOMORI]

Knows how to tackle. He's cutting guys in half one on one and hurting them.

Yeah lol try getting a quick playy the ball away or an offload out while your ribs are coming out your arse!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Jake tackles like the Beaver used to.

I wish he had Beaver's speed though lol.

His little brother has that - both will serve Manly well

 

[NewwyEagle]

Love the way he cuts blokes in half, doesn't matter how big the bloke is, he just dives straight for the legs. Classic tackler, hard nut and more important than any of that, he loves the club.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

He was ****ing awesome today
this kid will play for Australia

 

[the mauler]

He's still a baby for a front rower. Skies the limit for this kid.

 

[mickqld]

Leary, Lui, Turbo, Sao certainly a future cornerstone to add to.

 

[HappilyManly]

What about Ligi - his second try this year - the other forwards must be spewing 😀

 

[Andy 1972]

He just keeps improving Jake. Well done again today.

Manly Forever.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

To be a starting front rower at his age and putting in the kind of efforts he's putting in week after week is huge. Couldn't be happier for him.

 

[JenEagle]

He is a champion player.

 

[Menzies11]

He is a true Sea Eagle!

 

[hozza]

The kid is going to be the cornerstone of our pack for a decade to come. Nsw and Australian sides only a few years away too......

 

[castle eagle]

lets all hope that he stays at manly instead of 'doing whats best for my family'(insert sarcasm emoticon here).

Jake's now played but a handful of games at the top level, but looks damn comfortable and has no issues with matching it with the big boys. He's an absolute rookie, but plays like a veteran. In just a few games he's become both a leader and a lynchpin in a forward pack that's slowly beginning to believe in themselves.

If we continue to build on this rise in competitiveness Jake will be an intrinsic part of that success, which is mind blowing when you REALLY consider it: he's as green as they come yet he's the leader of a pack containing a few 200+ game veterans.

The future is pretty bright with talent like this coming through. Perhaps too early to say it, but that 9 week rebuilding period was pretty tough. Time to get on with becoming a powerhouse in 2015..

Jake has it all ahead, at his young age he is already a leader of our pack and has fantastic skills with the ball and tackling. Looking forward to Jake smashing whatmough in round 23!

Unless Jake is playing NSW cup in round 23, he won't get a chance to smash him. P.S Jake will never see NSW cup again.

 

[ManlyMatt]

What were his stats today? Surely he cracked 100 metres.

 

[Mavin]

We shouldn't be surprised at how he is going every club has been after him for years and he has stayed. Junior Kangaroo and SOO say's it all.

He would have played a lot more first grade earlier except for the he broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. He is only going 2 get better.
