Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Jake went straight from SG Ball to a starter in a first grade trial.

Of all the Arthur family related rumours that didn’t happen, this one didn’t happen the most.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Interesting story if true, unfortunately it's not.

JA played SG Ball in 2019.

Here are the 2 trial squads for 2020:

Eels v Rabbitohs: RCG to make club debut; Bunnies invest in youth

Yep, Jake Arthur was playing well in reserve grade in 2021 when he made his debut. This year he has been outstanding in reserve grade, and has earnt his start this week.

Jake's a good kid but i can't wait to see him get smashed on Friday night along with 16 other players wearing the Sea Eagles jerseys on Friday Night.

I really don't mind him either. He is a better footballer than I was.

It just clicked - the Arthur family engaged you as PR!

Jake Arthur played first grade at 18, what a generational talent.

The club hasn't recovered from his loss.

What backs this up was that he was rated highly by the gold standard the TCT. They said he would come second in running races against Gutho.

Did he play any reserve grade before he made his first-grade trial debut in Feb 2021 as the starting halfback (it appears as though he did play a game or 2 of Jersey Flegg before the 2020 season was shut down due to Covid)?

Yeah he was picked, with all the other back ups and emerging players, just like what every other NRL side that played that week did.....

It’s a trial ffs. They are always full of merkins expected to play reserve grade that year. Those same merkins will be backups for the NRL side.

ffs

 

[The Predictor]

We actually do which is why we are now looking at Josh Curran.

Heard it here first.

U need to get ur Galvin prediction right first

 

[The Predictor]

Surplus to their needs.

Making room for Galvin

 

[The Predictor]

Gee can't wait for the same people talk up the potential signing of Curran, at the same time writing off Guymer at 20 years old.....

Yeah much prefer Curran to Guymer

Conformation that Hooper is an absolute flog

Read said Parra are favourites for Galvin, Hooper responded why would anyone go there , they are bottom aren’t they. Strange from the idiot when he praised Luai and Turuva for signing with a club that had won 3 spoons and how it was good for them. He’s such a dick and is getting worse with his bias.

Anasta is the scummiest of them all i have no doubt he will probably kick the boot again tonight on 360 to our club.

It’s a trial ffs. They are always full of merkins expected to play reserve grade that year. Those same merkins will be backups for the NRL side.

So. To recap.
He makes his first-grade trial debut after having played just 2 jersey flegg games and zero reserve grade games.
Then he makes his first regular season first grade debut having played just 2 jersey flegg games and about 6? reserve grade games (where, by the way, he was outplayed by that old bald fella in at least 2 of those games that this mast head was at).
Is there any other player that has gotten into first grade having been that fast tracked in Parra's last, say, 30 years...
And he happens to have been the coache's son.

I think we're going to have to offer him more years and money than people are going to be comfortable with

Parra (NSW Cup) legend Jordan Rankin was in first grade at 16.

 

[Gronk]

BA was sacked 1 year + 1 day ago today.

It’s time for some of you f**kers to move on.
