Jake Trbojevic... take a bow

[Forster eagle]

Just a shout out to Jake, who week in week out does his job. No fuss. Just gets it done. Doesn't matter what ground, what opposition, when in the game and whether we're winning or not. Just keeps putting in. Those who vote for MOTM each week.....don't forget the passionate blond guy in the middle. He is just a champion.

The last two weeks he seems to have run more, and taken the easy metres on offer.

I'm sure some stats guru will be along soon enough to either confirm or deny this, but it's just a feeling I have watching the games.

Jake is a rock and a leader of our pack, as a veteran he is playing a vital role and still good enough to play for NSW and Australia.

I was just about to mention the same thing… a lot more direct running last night it seemed

Are you talking about the club MOTM, or the Silvertails one ??

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

He's always where you want him to be. Our most consistent player so far this season by a long margin. I hate to think how many points we'd give up without him.

 

[The Who]

Jurbo is the best defensive player in the NRL and we'd be lost without him. However, defence is only 50% of the assignment.
When was the last time you saw him break a tackle? I don't know if he even tries to bend the line; perhaps his aim is a quick play-the-ball?
To gain points in a MOM he'll need to cobble together some attack.

One positive league leading stat and one negative.

Funny not many people talking about him being in the 17 for nsw this year... would be a good result for manly but foolish I feel for nsw if true

Even Spud didn’t have him in the NSW forwards. I’d be stoked if he stayed and played club for us.

The last two weeks is the best footy from Jake this season he has been very good.

Hopefully he can get some time on the pine to keep him fresh, he doesn’t make the ruck infringements when he gets a spell during the game..

Here comes the stats guys!!

 

[Uk eagle]

If you make the most tackles it stands to reason that you'll make the most ruck infringements, also I think as far as referees are concerned he has a target on him doing it

[eaglebuzz]

His runs haven't exactly set the world on fire, sometimes only 3 to 5 metres per hitup.

I miss the days when he bent the line and made a break or 10+ post contact metres several times per match.

But yes his defense is enormous.

 

[Rafferty]

One positive league leading stat and one negative.

Yet he never gets a look in on the bogus VB hard earned, it’s a stitch up I tell ya.

 

[Frogz]

I don't think Jake and Tom will be in the NSW side

 

[MightyEagles]

I don't think Jake and Tom will be in the NSW side

They'll both be there

 

[Crucial]

One positive league leading stat and one negative.

had the most ruck infringements at the end of last year too if I remember correctly

 

[TokyoEagle]

If they were smart both Jake and Tom will be playing for the Blues. Origin is all about who has the biggest heart and neither will let any side down.
