Loko's defence keeps improving

I think Jacob has proved he definitely deserves to hold down that centre position coming into next year. Quite amazing the progress he has made on his defence over the last month. Still has a few errors in his game, but I think the club can confidently lock down one centre position.

  • The next thing he needs to look at is, hey I've got a winger.  He tends to go himself a bit too often but that should develop over a bit.

     

    Yeah, his defence is getting better and he is probably our number 1 centre regardless of any injuries.

  • lol
  • I wouldn't take too much from the cronulla game, they threw nothing at our defence. The knights will be a far greater test.
  • Agree. I get the feeling he hasn't come to grips with how big he is. Would love to give him angry pills or the heart of David Williams or Nathan Gardner
  • He'll be special. You add onto that amazing strength which he uses to great advantage with a fantastic fend, good speed and he has every physical attribute needed. He's seems to have a good head on his shoulders as well.

     

    Now, it's really just about technique. Getting the lines right, being able to carry the ball in both hands, etc.

  • Agree this kid can be anything.

    My concern when he came into the side was his defence but he has developed well in that regard.

    I think having Burt outside him helps too.  An older head to keep talking to him and help with decision making.

  • got to admit I was bagging him after his first couple of games but agree he has improved heaps
  • I just hope we start giving him some clean early ball. We play very flat and at the line, I would love to see him stand deep and get himslef one on one.
  • how about him rolling out of the in goal with the ball? that was gold.

"I strongly disagree. He's been improving year or year. He'll be ever better next year. Unlucky with his injury to miss half the season stalling his development. Full back is probably the most demanding position was you must have consistancy both…"
