Do you remember him? Yes the champion NYC Fullback from 2009/2010. But Where is he now?
Many NRL and Wests Tigers fan are critical of Benji Marshall's goal kicking and of Tim Moltzen as a fullback, and rightly so. But you have to get a player who is like a Brett Hodgson who we stupidly let go to join Huddersfield and the Warrington in the English Super League, and he continues to show his dominants on the field.
My question is, where is Jake Mullaney gone. I understand he suffered from a hamstring injury for most of the 2010 NYC Season. But I would think he has recovered from that by now. So why no first grade.?
STATS 2009:
He scored 29 tries in 27 matches and kicked 103 goals. Twenty-one of his tries were in the last 10 matches, including a grand final double.
He was the leading try and pointer scorer in the NYC, with his 29 tries and 322 points. That type of player has should be in first grade.
So Where is he now? Playing NSW Cup, along with the other Tigers names who apparently aren't good enough to be in first grade. Look below, in bold are the players who have been in first grade or deserve to be there.

18. Ratu Tagive
A note on Ratu Tagive, a very good fullback/winger, I have seen him in a few NSW Cup and NYC games and well be good if he cracked in first grade. But back on Jake Mullaney.
It's time Sheens looked to the lower grades to Mullaney, he needs to be given a chance in the top grade. As the joke has been said many time before. Beau Knows NSW Cup, that might not be far off. Moltzen is good in parts, but after his injuries his form has been lacking and McKinnon is good, but you have to look to the future and there is great promise in Mullaney, but only if he is given the chance. Tigers fans remember if Tim Sheens is fired/sacked or decides to leave the club, Benji Marshall has the choice to go with him as per his contractual agreements with the club.
So your thoughts? Should Mullaney get a shot in the top grade? Do you know or have you seen him before....
