Waqa Blake?

Scores 2 tries

Makes a break setting up a try

 

but bombs it with a completely unco play passing the ball into his own arm

Gives away a stupid penalty then doubles down by back chatting the ref

 

Should he be in first grade when Fergo returns?

  • Fair question. He has some stuff to work out. He used to be an absolute weapon at Penrith. Heaps of upside. 

  • He has always had a few mistakes in him but he is an athletic footballer & has to stay in the team

  • Did he ever really want to play for the Eels? This is the question you should ask first. In a perfect world I have no doubt he'd much rather have played his whole career at Penrith.

    • You can say that but Jennings had once said he hated the eels when at the riff . And no one can say he hasn’t put in playing for us 

    • Same could be said for just about every player

       

      I'm sure Gutho in a perfect world would have wanted to play with Manly for life.

       

      Imho, he has played no better or worse than he did at Penrith the question is "is that good enough"

    • Players will play where opportunity & money is best.

      • Yes you do and all I'm saying is that his heart isn't with us at this stage. In time he may identify himself as an Eel rather than simply as an NRL player, as Gutho, Brown, and co. have done.

  • Needs to settle get the takkaisms out of his game but lots to like as well...cliche but maybe he just trying too hard to impress.

  • Thought he was really good today, I forgive errors where a pass that had the potential to be on are pushed. As for the penalty we had another player (Moses I believe) give away a back chat penalty in the first half, I’m sure Arthur will speak about discipline this week.

    Fergo is a winger and will return on the wing.  Taka will be the one left out/relegated to the bench.

  • Wow dumbest blog ever. Of course he shoyld be in the team. He is a constant threat in attack and defence
