The Jake Friend Appreciation Thread..

[Cockadoodledoo]

Enormous..

I've been following this club for 43 years & he's the best hooker we've had..

Amazing performance..

He was huge today for us. So much ticker. Love 80 minutes Jake.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I'm pleased to say that I've championed Jake since he first hit first grade...and got bashed up a bit for it in these parts.

Now I would attest with confidence he is our MVP bar none and is probably too good to not be playing rep at this moment.

[Tommy Smith]

How tough is this bloke?

He'd tackle Megatron head on and still get up without any 'Matai style' fus.

Legend.

[The Brain]

He is huge every week there is no one that works harder than him at any club.

[Cockadoodledoo]

He must be our future Captain.

[Guest]

Keeps finding ways to impress us despite his MOTM performance week in and week out. That grubber and chase was a thing of beauty.

[ROC181]

My worry is that sometime soon might be swayed to go to cane toad territory.

Friend will stay when he is offered the captaincy from next year onwards

Holy shit yes.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Holy shit yes.

He needs to be a lifer with us..somehow some way.

I wonder what he is worth to the club? He is off contract next year! Which other clubs would be interested in signing him? Glad to see him back himself and I love it when he runs the ball.

Other clubs will be lining up to sign him, and offer him fairly big money, IMO.

He's good enough for us to offer him a longish contract on decent money.

He must be kept!
Must be.

Surely we can find an Islander with big legs who kicks 50-20s and never goes near the sideline to replace him???

We must be able.

Must be.

RTS is the man for the 50/20s job, and kick goals as well...he just needs teaching how.

Loved the 40/20 by Pearce yesterday did you? killed off any hope the Dragons had left.

Fark this kid has improved over the last 2 years..

Went with the guy said to be the best rake ever, & went straight past him in the last 20..

Smart kick for the first try too..

Plus did his usual eleventy billion tackles..

A truly elite player now..
