SOO, Jake, DCE, general discussion

[ALinda]

In this week's Northern Beaches Review, 'Inside Back's Adam Lucius writes:

"Jake responds in style
There are not too many players who could turn an axing into a positive. Manly's Jake Trbojevic - a perennial "glass half-full" type of bloke - is an exception to the rule.
He was inexplicably left out of the NSW squad for game one of the origin series but refused to stick pins into Brad Fittler voodoo dolls. Instead, "Jurbo" put his head down at Manly, leading the Sea Eagles in the absence of skipper Daly Cherry-Evans and turning in his two best games of the season.
He watched origin 1 from home, loudly cheering the Blues home and showing genuine disappointment when the Blues fell just short. Asked how he felt as origin unfolded without him, a typically upbeat Trbojevic told 'Inside Back': "Early it was disappointing but I've had two really enjoyable weeks of footy with Manly. It was a silver lining to lead this club and these great players. It's a great challenge and one I've enjoyed. I love playing for Manly."
Fittler is unlikely to leave the workaholic forward out of the side for the must-win game two in Perth on Sunday week."

I think some of these selections aren't eligible for the Blues 🙂

Sadly, Jake will probably be picked.

Adolf the ex-convent boy will then probably sidestep the issue of why he wasn’t there in Game of Drones 1.

It will be interesting to see how Slater plays DCE in SOO2.
He took a back seat to Munster in SOO1

Jake is a confirmed starter in place of one of those Parramatta hacks.

Burton in for Staggs too.

As well as Jake, it appears A. Crichton, Gutho & Talakai will be added to the squad (would be good if JAC is also recalled)

Fittler makes seven changes to Blues squad in ruthless Origin overhaul

Parramatta duo Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Ryan Matterson, as well as Kotoni Staggs and Tariq Sims, have all been dropped. There are seven new faces.

NSW need Api in the 14, maybe he should even start the game and use Cook of the bench, playing 2 9’s will make a huge improvement to the side and level the clear advantage Qld enjoyed by playing 2 9’s in game one.
And congratulations to Jake for forcing his way back in.

Love the competent journalism at News Limited🙂

"Other reported moves include the return of Roosters forward Angus Crichton and Souths forward Jake Trbojevic, while Eels duo Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Ryan Matterson appear set to miss out."

Journalism is appalling these days, and the role of editor... that is proofreading has clearly become defunct!!!

More of the same I reckon, it worked in game one so no reason to think he's going to change it, besides Munster is always the dominant half at both club and rep levels whereas DCE usually goes into headless chook mode if things aren't working for him

What the **** is it with Freddy and his Gutho love? Guy is hopeless.

He's probably seen the toilet photos with the Parra supporter 😉

Not to mention everyone hates him.

Did I see Gutherson the imposter getting off the bus?

Backup player when young Cleary and co. from Penrith have sore throats from hosing Adolf.

Gunty can come in and give them a spell.

Just needs a joker/class clown in their to lift spirits etc... to replace the Jac role?

I see Freddy and his NSW fellows are planning another Blue sheep to the Slaughter Squad

Surprised to see Jordan McLean in the squad. Don't know how Suaalli is retained over JAC (unless it's just a work experience gig). Appears Api & Radley will be considered for no. 14 role. Likely Talakai will be in the 17 somewhere as he can play in the backs or forwards. There are certainly a lot of options with this squad. Wighton unavailable and Staggs, Matterson, Sims, RGG & J. Saifiti dropped.
