Re: Jacob douglas
I already knew this but couldn’t comment as it hadn’t been officially announced. I even asked Jacob on Sunday did he know when it would be made official & he didn’t know.Firestarter wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2024 10:46 am https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby- ... er-4757207
This is some good news and well earned
I was really pleased for him as I think he is an excellent prospect
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

Re: Jacob douglas
Great news! I think he's a top prospect. I have a bit of a Dom Manfredi feeling about him (hopefully without the injury issues). I think he'll become a regular starter in the next year or two.

Re: Jacob douglas
He got the ball with some space in front of him on Sunday and his body movement and stature made me think of Mandredi straight away. He didn't quite get away in the way that Mandredi would've by using his upper body strength to shrug off the defender but Douglas is young and developing and he looks a real prospect.
Re: Jacob douglas
He definitely has that feel about him. I've thought so whenever I've seen him. If he gets anywhere close to Dom we'll have a good one! Dom was about the saddest case of injuries ruining a career that I've seen. He had it in him to be amongst the very best.NICKYKISS wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2024 5:32 pm

Re: Jacob douglas
Just wondering what has happened with Miski this year. Leading try scorer last year. Maybe look at what King was doing so well as centre last year?

Also missing the cut out passes from French and Field.
