The Jurbo Journal - (just a really nice Jake thread)

That would only give this team equal worst of 8 games. They would need to lose first 2 next year to be clear worst.

It's a distinct possibility

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Crap, poor Jake. No man trying harder. Wow I am getting a bad feeling about the last 3 games with him out. This could well get ugly. Gawd come on 2023!!

 

[niccipops]

Blood Zac Fulton for the remaining games.

I really like the look of Zac Fulton.
Young. Hungry. Manly blood. Not scared of hard work or rainbow stripes.
Get this boy on the field.

Agree. Should take Jake’s place

 

[NYEagle]

One bright light:

He avoided the nudie run just in time!.

Jeez guys, Fulton is a scrapper for Blacktown. Not sure where all this love is coming from? I get the Fulton thing, but come on.

Bad luck Jake

Good luck Zac

Zac is a resilient defender . He will do the job

I'd play him just for the effort he put in against the rorters

 

[JakeyB789]

Fulton should get a go, who cares how he’s going for Blacktown they are a joke, he would step up playing first grade as he did against the Roosters.

We all know he won’t be named though and we’ll get an exciting team like this:

Garrick
Koula
Parker
Harper
Tuipulotu
Foran
DCE
Aloiai
Croker
Taupau
Olakau’atu
Davey
Sipley

Walker
Burbo
Schuster
Paseka/Keppie

 

[The Who]

I wouldn't be surprised if he is also suffering with a broken heart.

Cannot break that man's heart

 

[Under the Sticks]

Daily Telegraph reporting that Jake broke his hand against the Titans and is out for the rest of the season.

 

[BOZO]

Jake is a machine. He plays well above his weight.

He certainly is a tackling machine with a big heart but not a very potent runner

 

[BOZO]

Daily Telegraph reporting that Jake broke his hand against the Titans and is out for the rest of the season.

Sadly , Manly is also out for the rest of the business end of the season

 

[JenEagle]

Jake will be 29 next year. He’s got only a few years left in his career. Hope we can win a comp for him.

 

[Cameron]

Wow. Didn't know he was that old. I'd say a move to prop and less minutes at some stage will see him extend his career to 34-35.
I also think it's time for him and cherry to be co captains.

 

[Tongan Eagle]

Damnit Jakey! Been the heart and soul of this team this year, rest up and recover well bud.

 

[Bearfax]

Just as well we have lost Tom and Jake when there is now nothing more to seriously lose this season other than a couple of games that will be of little meaning other than pride. Those two along with DCE have been the heart and soul of a struggling Manly side for well over half a decade. Yep they take a lot of our salary cap but we'd be a lot worse off without them. We do have some players who give their all as well like Croker, Garrick, Parker and Foran, but without the three I mention above we'd be struggling to avoid the spoon. Hopefully they'll be back next year ready to give their all and hopefully with the rise of Koula, Schuster, Ola etc we can again compete for a top 8 spot, maybe higher. Long live the Trbojevics

Tom is 26 in a few weeks time.

Should not be having all these injuries at this age. Look at Teddy, after being injured early a lot in his career, he is bulletproof these days.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Thought Jakes best game of 2022 season was origin 2, had some sting back in his tackles and ran the footy well, the game plan of our Jake was used in that game is one the coaching staff should look at replicating.

A player with high passion and love for the club, though in my opinion Turbo should be the club captain for 2023.
