Trbojevic to debut

[Killer03]

Jake looks very comfortable. Very energetic and great defence. Sure it's only Scotland, but great start so far. Just need to top it with a try!

 

[Killer03]

One thing I don't like like is we are playing very very flat. Evidenced by 2 or 3 forward passes.

Awesome. And what that doesn't show is on almost every play he was running as a decoy or 2 passes clear of the ruck to give the runner an option.

Just need a try!

I actually think Australia went backwards when Jake went off and Morgan came on in structure in both attack AND defense.

I loved that he ball played and supported.

Saying it now. I hope he's our captain next season.

How does Morgan get picked ahead of Milford, Bird, Maloney on the bench usually cause he is useless! I don't rate Morgan.

They were using his short passing game well too.

 

[Holmsey]

Jake is running lines and through holes really well which is good to see.

Jake friend must have gone to the same passing school as Api.

 

[Ryan]

Please let Jake Friend be the next Queensland hooker. Honestly, the bloke is rubbish. I literally think Parcell is better.

Matt Parcell could dead set be anything. Crisp, fast, good defender.

Touch wood he has an injury free season. Tom at fullback is awesome. Green is ok, and DCE needs to improve big time.

 

[Killer03]

Yes !!! Great stuff Jake.

 

[Holmsey]

Geez friend is crap, why was he picked? Granville, McCollough are ahead of him for QLD and are next in line.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Well done Jake, fairytale beginning.

 

[Holmsey]

Jake grabs a try!!! Well done proved why he is Australia's best lock forward!

67 minutes

22 tackles

8 hit ups

God I love this kid. Just the excitement on his face, it's brilliant in this day and age.

 

[manlyfan76]

Great job Jake.
Played well.

Morgan has turned into the guy who replaced DCE for Qld and Australia after Cherry had the gall to turn his back on a Qld team to stay in Sydney (which obviously means he turned his back on the state according to those dummies up there).

 

[Mac Man]

Well Done Jake Very young for a Forward to be playing for Australia!

 

[rifraff]

It's probably petty but with all the tradition and showing off your colours. He should pull his socks up

Congrats to Jake on a great debut topped off with a try at the end!!!
