Quote: Hasbag "The problem now is that if Jake doesn't score a try, assist with at least 3 more and kick a 40/20 fans (mainly opposition) will claim he was quiet and had an awful game. He's expected to do more than any other player in the league each and every game.
Heard a bit about how he was invisible at weekend but that's so untrue. He assisted with 1 of our 3 trys (McIntosh) and he was rock solid with any kick that came his way (tough to blame him too much for the McQueen try as that was a lovely set play on the 1st tackle). He was trying long balls to the wingers and flick passes, and the couple I can remember getting dropped where down to the player receiving them, but that tends to make Jake look bad.
Even Lolohea's try, he didn't do anything wrong as such, it's not an error that he is slow, it's just very unfortunate.'"
Exactly this. The Lolohea try was a 2 on 1, went towards Tates, who passed. meaning Lolohea had a head start.
Could have done better with the Eden and Field try, but he gets blamed for everything, which isn't fair.
I've seen fans say he lacks effort, which is nonsense.
