The Jeremy Marshall King appreciation thread

I don’t think I ever saw JMK play as well for the dogs as he has for Dolph …. Maybe coaching ? Maybe it’s mayebelline ?

Better forwards who have the defence on the back foot and the NRL wanted them to succeed early so they gave the ruck leeway for little Benji who would make a run every now and again

JMK outplayed Reed again today.

7 runs, 75 metres, 23 pcm, 2lbas, 2 tas, 4 tackle breaks, 41 tackles, 2 missed, 1 ineffective, 70 fantasy points (game high).

So not only is JMK a better ball runner than Reed, he’s also a better creator and defender. Letting this champ go is one of the biggest recruitment/ retention blunders the club has made in recent history, baby!

He wasn't just dominant tonight, he was fkn magic. Bennett is a genius.

He always had the potential, though. He just needed a half decent coach to help him realise it. Even under Potter last year he was very good.

We are so dumb to have let him go. Reed is ok, but will never be a top tier hooker. JMK is well on the way.

When you have a hooker doing everyones job, your stats are bound to be lower!

Disagree.
Reed is one of few reasons we look a better team this year.
He does overplay his hand, but that is because we don't produce enough from the rest of the spine. Harry Grant does the same when his halves are not there or not dominant enough.

Not undermining what JMk has done at the dolphins but its clear we have unaddressed problems in both the halves and fullback that need attention.

The issue I see is that if these aren't addressed soon enough, Reed will "get use to" overpaying his hand, and will be difficult to then get that out of him

 

[Scoooby]

JMK will be a fine 9, getting better each week under coach Wayne. But then again just before he left us he was getting better each week. Yes we have reed, but I’ve always loved jmk anyway.

Can’t agree. The reason we look better has little to do with Reed. It’s because we have a better defensive coach and our defensive line is more organised (at least when we aren’t injury ravaged, exhausted and reshuffling out backline.

We have also had a ridiculous amount of luck
With the draw. We beat injury ravaged Storm and Cowboys teams and the Tigers. Our record currently flatters us.

Our attack actually looked a lot better in the second half of last year under Potter when JMK was our hooker.

You guys overrate Reed so much. He’s a decent, second tier hooker, but JMK is going to be one of the best in the business - something Reed will never be, baby!

 

[Flanagun]

JMK is already better and in a season or two he’ll be much better, baby!

 

[Flanagun]

You guys make out Mahoney is doing much more than he is. He’s only doing what any decent hooker is expected to do.

 

[H-dog]

JMK is playing behind a forward pack and Reed isn’t, don’t go off to soon.

 

[Flanagun]

JMK is playing behind a forward pack and Reed isn’t, don’t go off to soon.

Reed couldn’t make good metres around the ruck with an origin pack and misses too many tackles. JMK is better.

PS I love how our forwards are considered a valid excuse for Reed, but not for our halves.

Bro how are you even comparing the 2, JMK is shit we had him for 4 years what did he do?
Reed is already the best hooker in the comp.

Well if flanagan actually did something, you’d see see a different Reed

 

[Raysie]

The common denominator is Flanagan. Whichever Dummy-half partners him is guarenteed to fail.

Incorrect. JMK was testing it up on the latter part of last year and Flanagan was actually playing better with him at hooker. JMK is better than Reed. End of story, baby!

 

[Flanagun]

Well if flanagan actually did something, you’d see see a different Reed

This argument has been made multiple times and it’s just rubbish. Flanagan was playing better last year with JMK at hooker. Our whole attack was more potent.

Best in the comp? Lol how deluded are you guys?

JMK is dar from shit. He’s been close to the Dolphin’s best player on all four genes ge has played this year, and was great under Potter too. It’s not his fault he was ashes to change positions under sone of the worst coaches to ever work in the NRL. No player is going to develop to potential under those conditions.

JMK has run rings around Reed this year. And to suggest Reed is better than Harry Grant… just lol. He us Queensland’s third choice hooker lol.
