Friends performance I put down to a number of factors. Being fitter than previous years, not playing 80 minutes and having to make 40+ tackles, the competition Mortimer is creating by excelling when on the field and showing the extra attacking dimension he provides through quicker and crisper passing and outstanding support play and feeding off the great go forward and offloading of JWH and I guess the confidence of being in an unloseable position.

I would like to see Friend play dummy half for 45 minutes and about 10 as a loose forward and Morts get around 35 minutes. Both are playing too good not to get decent minutes.

This ^^^ except for that loose forward bit. Give him 50 minutes and Morts 30 mins and all is good.

Daniel Mortimer has proven a few here wrong, i always thought he was good value for money.

I'd like to see consistency from Friend because even Finch and Anasta had a rare good game.
