Jake King

[bennygee]

Just how good is the boy?
Where do you think he will play out his career position wise, because he looked like gold in the middle against collingwood.

He's exactly the tough-arsed little tagger type we need. Will be in the Steven Baker mould.

 

[deliberate!!]

Jake's a guy who wants a job, and will do a job.
Tough as nails.
You won't need to wait every 4th game for him do something. (Unlike Krak & Bling)
Jake will never be a superstar, but he's the hard nut link in the chain every good team needs.
Dale Thomas knew he was around.....lol.

(An army has it's leaders, but an army also needs its grunts)

At the start of the year Terry Wallace told Jake that he wanted him to play like Tony Liberatore in time, so you can definately expect an increase in dirty tactics and rough play in the future

His first 10 games were to get used to the speed of the game and settle into the team, now he will start being moulded into the type of player Terry wants on the ground in future finals.

Not sure we want a late-career Libba at RFC! Still remember the Knights incident like it was yesterday, such was my anger and hatred for the thug.
Hopfully King can forge a successful career without becoming a serial pest, and going on Friday night, he is the type that can also get the ball hinself and do good things with it, so he should be right.

i fully agree, that was the dirtiest thing ive seen on a football field. I was so happy to see him gone.

King's emergence surely means we will take only 1 of Hartigan and White into 2008.

Cometti wants a piece of King - can't stop saying how much he likes him when calling.

Every week! Every quarter there is a mention of how much he likes him. I suppose its hard not to like him the way he goes about it.

i think he has too much talent to be a tagger, lets not waste it to that extent. (not saying taggers are non talented)

 

[astro_toby]

kingy has probably been the player i respect most this season

after the disaster early on he had with that shocking photo with the wrench - he has nothing but ticks.

 

[squbasteve5699-cats]

i agree he has got talent. One of the best first years this year easy
