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.

Ponga does a Matterson-level back-flip, and by doing so comes up looking like one of the dumbest specimens in our game.

‘He’s been a victim’: Meninga defends Ponga after star’s shock Kangaroos backflip

Kalyn Ponga has been lauded for belatedly making himself available for Australia, but will he now get picked?

NRL: “Just say you want to be picked and then we just won’t pick you.”

Ponga: “Done.”

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.

Moey in suck a fat one DCE you fraud!

 

[Noise]

I’d rather DCE in. Watch Moses get injured.

It’s unlikely he will get injured and the experience he will gain will benefit us bigly. Worth the risk for me.

 

[the phantom menace]

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.

Panthers bench forward earns shock Kangaroos selection, Ponga and Tedesco miss out

The Panthers bench prop forward has been included in the Kangaroos squad, which doesn’t include Kalyn Ponga or James Tedesco.

From the same link - a couple of Eels Women in the Jillaroos squad - well earnt Abbi Church and Mahalia Murphy!

 

[JokerEel]

Burton is overated has a kick that's all not a ball player like Dearden..

Why is it unlikely that he gets injured?

 

[eels_fan]

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.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Wtf are Manly doing letting Tom Turbo play is the biggest mystery for me.

 

[the phantom menace]

Going for the salary cap relief at top dollar, to spend in 2025 when he gets injured on Roo duties?
