Moses and Brown were both playing first grade at 19 ffs. More to the point, they never played reserve grade again. If being a top reserve grader at 19 makes you special then we already have two special halves who are even better, and more expected than, than Jake Arthur.

If you don’t let your promising juniors pursue opportunities elsewhere, their managers will prevent elite youngsters from signing with your club in future.

Brown trained at centre to accommodate the fact that JA was on the bench as coverage for the halves but if we lost an outside back, we would need someone to cover that (and that was never going to be JA).
Evidenced in Round 1 when Campbell took out Russell with the knees and Brown went to centre, Waqa to Russells wing and JA played 46 mins.

By training with Drown in the centres, it meant we could cover any 1-7 injury with the only backup half in the club on the bench.


well if ja was the only back up half, the question needs to be asked, why? No genuine half and no genuine utility. But let’s make a role for him in the side.

blind Freddy could see what was happening.

That’s not true. It’s an issue of maturity rather than talent. DCE didn’t debut until he was 22 ffs. Jordan Rankin was 17.

Listen merkin. There is a maniac on the loose sending used condoms to people. You could be next.
Some sort of cummy attack

Jake Arthur is solid but if he makes it as a regular starting 7 I’d be surprised. I just don’t see it, not as a half anyway.
I am intrigued by him anyway. He has definite strengths as a player but the unreliable eye test says he just doesn’t look right.
