this is bullshit

[Guest]

Let them convince themsleves of that.....

They have not obviously watch a game when Jake is not on the field and when he starts......

Its a pretty fair article, Jake does not make many dominant tackles and can give up quick play the balls.

That said it isnt a secret, it is really up to the second marker and A defenders to back Friendy up.

[Vasco]

No problem with the article.

Every team has weaknesses. We have several.

Easts to win.

[rooster_booster]

He makes 40+ tackles a game, Im sure he'd have been found out by now if he was a liability.

[Guest]

Friend will do me, he has a much bigger heart than his body, but in saying that I do agree that the other forwards need to support him when he is taking on the likes of Weyman, thats only natural, we need to stop the offloads and slow down the play the balls.

[BUDDY]

I can just hear Sheens, Elliot and Cartwright saying, "why didn't they put this article up when we played them?"

[Guest]

I just laughed.

He's the best defensive hooker you could hope for in a game like this.

Run at him all day. Friendy will make 90 tackles if he's called on to do it. Then tackle all members of the :::9 commentary team after the game when we're celebrating.

The article fails to take into account the fact that Jake only made a return to footy mid season and is only just coming up to peak fitness now that he has a number of games under his belt.

Jake will be fit, primed and fired up come Sunday and out to hurt those Drag Queen deadbeat pretenders.

His contribution late in the season has been one of the key's to our success, his ability to slow the play the ball down is Cam Smith like.

But he is small and of course the big blokes will run at him, that's where the forwards need to come in

[TheLoneRooster]

I hope either Jake sees this article or someone shows it to him.

[Chook Norris]

I hope either Jake sees this article or someone shows it to him.

he would've heard it alright.. looks like they'll be trying to target our ruck very heavily - which is no surprise anyway. It's just adding some pressure onto Jake which i'm sure he'll handle

[Guest]

Lol @ the Sharks acting like experts!

[Johnny Tobin]

I wish they were all as "weak".

[Guest]

The Sharks would know a thing or two about being weak in defence. Get off it. Jake will be fine and i'm sure if he leads into a tackle another man will come in to put a dragqueen onto his back. Go Easts.
