Because his last name is wrong. Jake would get a bench spot over Brett Kenny, Peter Sterling, Cooper Cronk and Andrew Johns
I wished he got a debut before 2023. He could come in with a game or two under his belt and be sweet. Now he is still without a debut makes it harder for him to crack into a spot.
I think he's been kept around the team with a view to coming in for ice and marata.
He is another one who got interrupted last year by the reserve comp stopping.
He will get a chance
I reckon he will only get a chance if there are injuries.
It would appear that both Hopgood and Murchie will be in front of him.
They come on board next season, however, what happened to the opportunity for Elie this year?
From what i have seen, he definatetly deserved a bench spot, especially what he had shown against the Kiwis.
He mainly plays edge and our 2 edge players played close to 80 mintues each week. I'm sure if there were injures to Lane or Ice he would have got a crack. Or if we weren't struggling to make the 4. If we had the option to rest players I'm sure he'd be given a crack. Also Marata, Cartwright and Matto provided enough edge cover from the bench.
This has been done to death. The reason he didn't play over JA is because he wanted a half/back utility on the bench. The question should never be why did JA play over him but why did JA play over Perham/Rankin/Hands/ Rein etc.
BA stated that Moses was carrying a lot of injuries we didn't know about hence why he had a halfback on the bench. Obviously he wasn't up to it but that was the reasoning.
All things going to plan he will go back to cup and Hodgson and Hands can combine for the utility and back up half roll. Hands played a lot of halves this year. You can only imagine it was to increase his utility value.
I see our starting back row looking something like,
11.lane
12. Murchie
13. Hopgood.
With Matto out it provides some players with an opportunity. Matele and Eli should be fighting it out for a spot in the 17 next year.
Lol are you 100% certain? On another note how well did Moses go against the number 1 team? Killed it!!!
