Jake vs Tom

[johnperi01]

Just watched Jake beat Tom 3-2 in best of 3 kickoff on nrl.com; adds weight to Jake’s claim as our first choice kicker.

Jake even predicted how Tom would miss! Then kept telling the interviewer to quickly interview as he'd be filthy with himself.

Well if he is kicking at 90 per cent at training, then that is way better than anyone else, unless Hastings gets a spot, which is unlikely.

Didn't know Tom was in line for kicking duties.

But that's about it.

Didn't once hear him swear...that's pretty impressive!

He got 3/3; however, as someone who used to be a handy kicker, Jake doesn't look natural doing it. You can get away with kicking at training, but in a game situation under fatigue and pressure - it needs to be second nature to you. If Jake gets the nod, I'd say it will be a bumpy ride at first before he adjusts to the conditions a match brings. People would need to be patient with him. I have a feeling Cherry will be our kicker unless Carney or Hastings comes into the side at some point.

what about Lewy Poo

In this case though its all about the quantity, not the quality lol

Seriously, I as much as others wish Jake would do the goal-kicking. However, as posted elsewhere, Cherry said at the Fan Day that Matt Wright is no. 1 kicker and, whilst he's injured or not available, Cherry would be doing the goal-kicking.

what about Lewy Poo

I wonder where people will post when this place shuts down / has more advertising to cover the gap.

Got to be honest I find it amazing some of the most profligate posters have not signed up

Yep , not trying to do a Bozo here but $25 a year is like 50 cents a week.

What can you get for 50 cents these days , half a cigarette 1/8 of a beer.

It’s really down to that isn’t it?

It is a round of beers at the pub for a year.

Like I said I would hate to think the state of the site of many many people had not chipped in their hard earned over the years... it would look like any other supporter site which is far from ideal
