Well done Jake, that is some achievement!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

There were plenty doubts and "not Wigan standard"-type comments about Jake at first. He now mostly goes under the radar, which means he's doing ok.

He's the sort of player who gets described as "solid" and "reliable" - every team needs them. The showy type of players would make a poor team if you fielded 13 of them!

I agree, but never a winger in the memory of man.

Not as their first choice player they don’t. The comments about not being Wigan standard still apply. He’s a very average player and the fact he’s a first team regular is a great illustration of the lack of quality in our squad.

How does he compare to Tom Davis for example? He doesn’t and would not be on any top teams shopping list as a starting player yet here he is, ever present in our team because we have no one better.

Can't disagree, but I wouldn't sack him for that; he is far from being our biggest weakness.

He’s not a centre either as he can’t pass

Agreed.

Good finisher, some solid runs in own half but that’s his limit. Shocking in the air.

The achievement is not getting injured. It’s a tough sport and we have had a lot of games in short periods recently.
