Jacob Loko

[Parra2006]

all i can say is FUTURE STAR....

How old is he?

 

[parra pete]

Star now...imo

 

[TheRam]

He should be blooded, in the NRL next year, on the wing. Better then Tahu.

 

[True EEL]

he is very good......could be anything if he fulfils his obvious potential

 

[Tizzun]

He'll be 18 on the 12th of August.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Doesn't get himself involved enough, maybe it is the halves not getting him the ball maybe it is he does call for it. Still great talent.

 

[Fathead]

Hang on a minute, his workrate isnt wonderful. I say he is still 18 months away at the minimum.

by any chance is there any highlight of him?

 

[Stagger eel]

it's very difficult to play down this kid, every time I see him I almost break out in a sweat..best back at that age since Hayne and better than INU was.

 

[gustarny]

He is signed for 2 years as well.

 

[attamarrap]

when inu go's next year loko to the wing oh yea!

 

[Noa]

Looks like a real talent, hard to know how these man-childs will go though once they hit first-grade. Btw does anyone know the status of his Hills High team-mate Jason Havea, was on a 4 year contract with the Storm but Ive been hearing conflicting reports about it.

I through as a centre his involvement was great last night. It was almost like "give the ball to Loko" from the rest of the side last night.

I hope we blood him earlier rather then later, he defiinitely has potential. Remember Jennings went from SG to NRL in several weeks. Next year if he has a strong off season I would start him at centre with Reddy to the wing ( if we don't resign Grothe or purchase a good back).

 

[Twizzle]

the guy is a freak, we'd be better off with Loko at right centre atm, he'd do better than Tahu who is doing jack sh*t.

Next year I hope to see Sio on the wing, Loko needs to play closer to the ruck.

I know he wont replace Tahu due to his reputation only, but he is definitely playing considerably better than him atm.

 

[TheRam]

This guy could play NRL now, and his work rate is just fine considering he is playing centre. He is a bit like Hayne at the moment for NYC, whenever they want something to happen they throw it to him. But just like with Hayne, the teams not good enough to capitalize on his brilliance as often as they could and they don't give him enough clean ball. Best junior we have in that team for sure. Sio isn't bad either.

I'd be playing him on the wing first, just like we did with Hayne and see how he develops from there Twiz, but yes he is a freak, with brilliant footwork and powerful running, lovely to watch, go you good thing go!

Tahu is playing left centre.

Remember Jennings went from SG to NRL in several weeks.

Jennings played SG Ball in 06 and debuted in First Grade in Round 2,2007.

As for Loko he is a machine. I see some Tony Williams in him.

 

[Tizzun]

Sio has also signed with Parra for the next 2 years, so the club does see a future for these guys in the NRL, not sure when though...

 

[Pazza]

Too good for NYC, way too good! I've never seen a centre make 199m in attack and all of those metres in such devastating fashion. He must have thrown 6 different rooster players a metre each during the game!

Loko and O'hanlon are guys who could make a bit of an impact next season in FG! i'd love to see both of them grow under a full off season of professional training.
