How Jake keeps getting picked is beyond me..... he isn't a bad player but his constant selection over other players is ridiculous.
Haven't you heard he is a good bloke.

I hear he is on close too 950k a year at Manly.

If those Turbo's genuinely love the club they seriously take massive pay-cuts at there next contract.

They have been robbing that joint for close to $2million plus a season for 5+ years.

Turbo when he is fit is at least worth that kind of money.
Jake has been an excellent player, but he's never been worth that sort of coin.

Ben is worth about a buck-fiddy.

Jake Cheeseburger is a fat tub of shit and can thank all his rep jerseys for the bloke angle. He was always overrated but after the new faster rules he offers absolutely zero.

Tom is worth the money despite wanting to "selflessly" take less on his current deal for the sake of the club. That they have so much money tied up in the two brothers and DCE is quite funny really. Just cannot fathom his worth at rep level though.

Cleary, Munster, Edwards and Turbo all won’t play with injuries/surgery/rehab

Ponga with his backflip will likely get picked at 1. Teddy will be overlooked. Hammer the backup 1.

Balance of probability says DCE gets 7. Moses may get the PM13 gig and a backup half position - or they may give that to Hunt.

Grant will be 9 with Robson his backup.

Moses will play a test.

Mal hasn't conned him all this way to not pick him.

Fingers crossed for no injuries to Moses or Lomax.

Kind of funny how DCE talked himself up as Cleary's injury cover - and he ends up left right out. Ben Hunt gets a bit lucky, but probably because he can fill in for injuries to the first two hookers or the first three halves/five-eighths.

Good to see we've now fully moved on from Tedesco as a rep player too.

Why is it unlikely that he gets injured?
Well it’s no more likely that he’d get injured than him playing in any other match. So on the basis of probability of injury occurring in a match, he is far more likely to not be injured than he is to be injured

Even less likely if he doesn’t play at all.
