Hate how the media are so dumb about Jared before his 300th

[Les Tricolores]

If I hear another pea brained idiot journalist who has nothing smarter to ask than about how he "treads a fine line", and carry on about his judiciary record, I'll farkin vomit. If only we had proper sports journalists and a proper sports media in this country. It's so embarrassing that this is all we have, like so many other embarrassing things this country now is.

Apparently Jared is the oldest player playing in NRL this season, beating Cherry Evans by about a month.

His ability, and most importantly his contribution, as a prop forward over 16 seasons in the NRL, is unmatched and will never be repeated. You don't play 300 NRL games in the front row just by being a thug. You play 20.

Jared at his best, and maybe people can argue he's coming to the end now and with respect he is, of course he is as the oldest player in the comp. But at his best, if you were building the perfect prototype robot version of an NRL prop, you'd build Jared. His feet are amazing in defense the amount of one on one tackles he makes on other forwards look so easy and go unnoticed. Ultra fast play the balls. Superb marker defense. His motor is beyond enormous. I've really never even seen him look that tired. He's very smart positional wise, and he even has great hands, you see him in forward shifting ball plays and he moves and passes and he can run the lines. Hope they show that flick pass back inside to Joey Manu at some point from a few years ago. And maybe even above all that, imagine the influence Jared as had on our young forwards coming through over the years??

Shane Webcke and/or Glenn Lazarus better than Jared?? They just weren't. It's as simple as that. If Payne Haas keeps going for another 9 seasons at his current level he might go close to Jared.

He's a once in a generation freak of player across the park, and it's shameful how boring as batshit the media are in focusing only on the parts they do.

Congrats and thank you to Jared for the unbelievable contribution to the Roosters.

If you don’t love Jared then there’s a very good chance you’re not a Roosters fan … Roosters should win purely on principle tonight for the raw steak and egg man … short of that he should get himself sent off lol

Sure his discipline cannot be relied upon … but it is that same wild edge that has set himself apart all these years … has never been a thug … just a proper madman when he crosses that white line … off the field he is the loveliest most gentle bloke

My brother coached him when he was a youngster at the Reds … good lad … but never wanted to stick his head in a ruck or maul … just wanted to run with the ball and hit people who did … legendary Rooster

Annoys me when opposition fans who don’t watch him play or hear him speak in the media say he’s just a thug who plays dirty. There’s a huge difference between a cheap shot merchant, and a genuine enforcer who protects his team like a mother bear and goes after the biggest bloke on the field each week.

also pretty sure Jared has averaged less than a week suspension per charge over his career…says a lot about the crap calls and bias he’s copped from refs over the years

Absolutely! His trips to the judiciary are because of hard tackles gone wrong. I've seen him give a guy a facial once, and that's about it. AND he's been targeted, sent to the judiciary when others would not have been because of his reputation and fearful presence. We love ya, Jared!

All Hail Jared Whatta-Hardarse…and **** the reporting media and their ultra byast bullshit crayon scribblings

[ism22]

Old mate Paddo might be able to tell us what John Menadue's 'blog' had to say about JWH. No doubt the whole thing was all a conspiracy that the evil 'mainstream media' invented.

Can you REALLY trust that we won 48-6 and that JWH has REALLY played 300 games? All sounds a bit farfetched to me :P

Well that was glorious but Souths are a rabble

We lost last week you know and this is without doubt the best lineup in league bar none

Let’s see what happens next Thursday … that will tell us all we need to know … but the early signs are good
