Jakey Marketo Moving On

[saintzrule]

Necessary, but a sad day for the club nonetheless and some beautiful words by the man. Best of luck for the future Jake!

Wow, that is really impressive. Well done Jake and all the best champ!

He says a different sport on the other side of the world in his words above

Union in Europe, UK?

I read months ago when McCrone signed with Toronto that Marketo had also signed with them. Don’t remember the source but pretty sure that’s where he’s going.

Isnt Toronto a RL club ?
Jake mentions a " new sport "..
Im thinking maybe French Union .. Not sure.

Yeah, he wrote a different sport mate, but I’m pretty sure it’s Toronto in the Super League he’s signed with.
I could be wrong, but I remember talking about it with my son months ago, he lives in Toronto.

This why I never bagged Jake. Jake is a winner and we are privileged to have had him play for us.

Nice words but should never ever of played first grade, absolute joke that the bald headed knife thrower from Dapto kept on picking his best mates son.

To play one game in the best comp in the world is a an achievement regardless of what you might think.

Calm.....down.....

Off the record.......can Jake possibly teach Dugan how to express oneself with pride & dignity rather than pump up ones own tyres as being an elite!!

Absolutely, I’m not blaming Jake for getting picked.

 

[2010]

I hope he does ok wherever he ends up.

Dugan was actually quite gracious when he left. Posted several times about being grateful, whereas other like Merrin, took one week to bag the club, say how wonderful Penrith was and how badly he was treated.

Anyway this thread is about Jake, so I will just wish him well.. He loves our club no doubt.

we have all bagged Jake in the past mainly being picked in positions that he wasnt suited for . Always gave him A for effort and energy. How humble was his post and yes thanks jake and hope it works out . You would hope he is replaced with a ?better quality " of player . If not why replace him but keep him at Cutters at least he gives 100% and has passion

Under a proper coach, Marketo could've been an established first grader by now.

One thing his detractors won't acknowledge is what a good cover defender he was.

I'd rather Marketo than a number of other second rowers that have been preferred over recent years.

You shouldn't speak for everyone! I have never bagged Jake and there are many others who haven't.

He may not be a Steve Menzies or a Taumalolo but he played 51 games of first grade.

I admire his passion and effort and I see that you do too.

 

[Life's Good]

Gave his all, got to wear the Red V, played more 1st grade than I did, only has good things to say about the club. Thanks for the effort Jake & good luck in the future.

Dude, under a proper coach he wouldn't have 51 games of first grade under his belt!

Still, gracious exit and wish him all the best, he always played above his weight and put in more effort than plenty of more talented players. Will do wel overseas.

Bennett gave him an opportunity, did he not?

I'm not a "dude" either.
