Player Jacob Laban

Love that fend - big man with a fend is so hard to stop
Nice speed - a few runaway clips
Lovely hands - how many high balls did he catch??
Runs into holes

But if he’s gonna be ala SBW - needs the offload and also no clips destroying anyone in tackles or chasing down the clowns

Thankfully he’s probably got another 15 years in his career to develop the remaining pieces.

Exciting.

CG better start saving up $$$$ if he wants to keep all this talent.

When these kids turn 21, maybe Webby can weave his magic and take them all to a pub for a beer and chat. I heard from Ford and Capewell that’s his secret charm.

The talent on our books right now is amazing. Unfortunately the pouchers will come so I hope we keep who we want.

It's a real art and delicate balance with a bit of luck.

Can see now why the decks were cleared (Siro & Curran) to ensure guys like Laban can get a run

I am hoping he gets the 12 jersey against the hair pullers this weekend. Capewell looks injured and I would love to see him run some lines off SJ. We might need some youthful speed against the Tits.

He got owned a bit on the weekend, missed a tackle leading to a line break and thumped a couple times with ball in hand. One of those games where he would have learnt a lot. Ford and Capewell are clearly injured, so I'm not against giving him a bigger run this weekend.
