Fletch on FSN said he talked to Friendy and he is hopeful to play again this season

[Thirteen]

Anyone know how unCranky Franky is going with his injury?
His physical presence is important.

[BallyChook]

If Friend does return he would join the likes of South Sydney legend John Sattler and Newcastle Immortal Andrew Johns in terms of bravery.

Sattler played the 1970 grand final with a broken jaw while Johns played the 1997 grand final with a punctured lung.

They trot Sattler out again....I'd rather he join the likes of SKD who played 60 minutes of last years decider with a broken jaw.
