I'd give him it but as everyone points out, this is the RFL/SL.

Who has the final say?

Adrian Lam signaling out Young Jake as the man they need to subdued as he operates behind a dominant pack.
Who would disagree.
In recent weeks our pack has dominated, our defence has been very good and young Jake has exploited this.
Knowing it and dealing with it are two very different things.

This is exactly what I said to the one who knocked Trueman earlier in the season. Behind a beaten pack, no half back can be effective. Not even Jonathan Thurston in his pomp could’ve done any better earlier this year than our very own JT did (also with no recognised HB partner).

Hi agree but let's not get carried away yet after one game. Like a expert said a good player will play good eight times out off ten but very promising last week confidence is half off battle

It isn’t just one good game though. We’ve won 5 of the last 7

God some people are never happy on here for god sake .Trueman has had a season when he’s not known from one game to the next who his half back partner would be yes he has had games when he’s not been as good as others but let’s be honest if we’d had our starting halfbacks fit Trueman wouldn’t have played as many games this season.. In my opinion he has to be consistent and play every game like last week . He was the dominant halfback who called all the shots. Long may he continue doing this in a cas shirt .

Thanks for that Flow but your opinion on Jake Trueman is well publicised and equally ridiculed.

I’ll bet the fact he’s been nominated as one of the beat five young players in SL this season has really stuck in your throat.

Thought i'd resurrect this just for the benefit of Flow. Now do yourself a favour and admit you are wrong about the kid.

I have often stated my admiration of the lads ability.
Yes he may have his frailties.
He may not be outstanding every game.
He certainly does a fair shift in defence as well as in attack and with his kicking.
Goodness only knows where we would be in the league without him.
As other people have commented where was Luke Gale when he was twenty.
I hope we nurture and value him and keep him in the Black and Amber for as long as possible.
Another hat trick young man 20 years on from when we ruined their DW Stadium debut.

Standard Wigan tactics. Look out for Flower with some dirty late hits on him off kicks. No penalties given of course.

Thought Jesse did a wonderful job protecting Trueman against Hull last week, so we will need more of the same this week. I shudder to think what Willi Isa in particular will have up his sleeve for him.

Put Liam Watts next to Truman when he’s kicking on the last. There’s nobody in the Wigan team with the balls to hit Jake late if they know Wattsy will be next on the scene.

There was one poster on here HTT who always rubbished JT at every opportunity. It was never easy to read those posts that attacked a young lad when he was doing his best at such tender age when we should all be backing him.

Thankfully, he was banned and taken of the forum. Sort off sent of.

The majority of us think JT is a one of. Quite simply one off a kind. We wish we had more off his type.

He could yet lead us to OT. It's what dreams are made off.

If Wigan have come out and said theyre targeting Trueman, then it's time Ellis had one of the games we know he can play once in a while, just give them something else to worry about

Jake won’t play every game like he did against Hull last week, but that’s natural. George Williams has quiet ones, Blake Austin, Jake Connor the same. Difference between all those players and run of the mill players is we know they can.

Can always rely on Jamie. Remarkably consistent.
