The Jake Conundrum

[Rocky]

Everything we take Constructively is advantageous to us Including Criticism
Criticism may hurt our ego but it Keeps us on the Go and we should be thankful for the ones that take the time to tell us how it is
Copping Criticism on the chin is a good thing for all of us that want to keep stiving for excellence
Criticism also eliminates any form of Complacency
No one is perfect and we all have room for improvement

So we should Cop Criticism like a Men possessed and Rise to our best like Premiership Winning Great Eagles

Is it valid criticism to say he should retire?

Is it valid criticism to say he should retire?

We should take others Valid criticism Constructively and Valiantly
and Use it as a Valuable Motivating force to get the best of us so we can become Victorious

There was a game this year. Might have been first game Jake didn't play last 15-20 mins.

If my memory is correct Browny was just killing it, and no way would taking browny off have been the team thing to do. Brown led us to a win.

Now I don't know what Jake was saying, but after the game Jurbo was very emotional going straight over to seibs on the field and emotionally venting about something.

It certainly had the appearance of a tantrum about being benched. I couldn't help but think wow talk about putting yourself before the team. What a little bitch.

Now perhaps he was venting about something in the first half who knows, but it wasn't a good look for him in the circumstances of the coach and team getting a good win.

Now should Jake be re-focused by our coaching staff, to concentrate on his impact both with and without the ball, during shorter stints, on the field.

And NOT focused on how long he is on the field.

SEIBS would have my full support.

No way is Jake retiring. Lol.

Croaker to bench, replaces Jake at 13 or simkins if needed.

To lessen Jake's work load will get more quality out of him.

 

[Brocky]

Jake should retire a waste of $850 K

Could but bust a grape (tackle)

in my view part of the reason that we haven’t won a big dance is that we have too much coin tied up across too few players - with DCE excluded - with not enough game time or performance from them. That’s the conundrum for me. But not calling for them to be dropped or exited, but for there salaries to reduce to allow us to spend where we need. It’s got to be the salary that adjusts here.

Unless there contract is over, can't just renegotiate a new contract to reduce it I'm afraid, NRL won't allow it, even if it's via mutual consent, as was case with Turbo this year.

Yes it happens if player goes well and wants more $. Ie DCE at start of 2012.

But to be fair NRL have to take that stance, or contracts would be even more meaningless than they already are, and the NRL's broken player trading system would actually need to be looked at.

I suspect this one will be handled much differently. 🤞

Worse time for this to come up with our recent dramas. Jake's on 950k that'll bring him down to 550k, probably what he's worth on the open market. Because they both signed at the same time, will it be another package deal, I suspect not. Very nervous about this one, fingers crossed.

 

[47MVEagle]

Interesting timing, is it just speculation on NRL360's part or has there been something said by the club?

I love Jake but to be honest, I can't see any other clubs lining up to offer him overs to steal him from us & I reckon he'd be honest enough with himself to know $550K is probably the best he's likely to get to keep him at Manly.

 

[The Who]

Jurbo is one player not fixated on money. These 'experts' seem to think that salary is all that matters to players. There are many other issues more important to him. I think it is distasteful to lump Jurbo into the same boat as money-hungry players.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Jake for captain….. now!

 

[manly al]

Not that age is everything but what , Jake will be 33 and Turbo 31 in season 27 .
Most likely a 2 year deal for Jake and maybe the same for Turbo if his body is holding up and playing some reasonable amount of games leading up to that time .
Maybe not that unreasonable for jake at say 650 K and assuming that he would be playing less game time but still as a 13 , not even sure about that .
Turbo no idea , travelling well , should still be able to warrant good money , then to also accommodate Lehi.
Maybe Turbo could end up in the centres

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The three boys are Manly to the core , they’ll negotiate , and there will be rumours of course , but I doubt very very much any of them would play anywhere else.

What a difference to the current charade

The T's are not self entitled and self centered and love their club and their fans.

And will know they have been taken VERY well care of during their time at the club.

I don't think Jake would want the captaincy while DiCkhEad is still playing with us
