What's really strange Wizzy is Manly haven't used Jake as a back up hooker / utility once, even though they've had their two first choice hookers injured at times this season. Does Seibold not realise Jake forced his way into a Grand Final in that position?

Careful Nos, don't mention Hooking in front of Wizzy.

Scored our only try too old mate ..... 😜. The only way that game could've gotten anymore embarrassing would've been if all of our big superstars went 80 minutes without scoring a single point.
If the Eeels don't run shape and players at Arthur they are crazy. Jake has a decent front on tackle but he has terrible lateral movement. A bit of ball play and runners at him and there'll be line breaks all night. Don't go easy on him!!

If we have to go after someone else id go for Sanden Smith. They guys improved out of sight."

It will be interesting to see how he's progressed ... or not. His profile has him at 82kg, 188cm, how he doesn't get snapped each week is beyond me
