time has come!

[can'tkeepagoodcoqdown]

have been a Friend supporter for years but the time has come to try something different. With the reductions in interchanges the role of the dummy half has changed and unfortunately Jake style does not suit. in the past we relied on a power forward game, but the requirement of the big guys to play bigger minutes we need a dummy half that will challenge the ruck.

I watched today as he through shit pass after shit pass. take the wrong options in attack.

There was an occasion in the second half when we had momentum and needed quick ball to the left .....he takes a step out of dummy half then decides to go back to the right, running into the play the ball and everyone then over runs him, shutting down ALL attacking options.

We played our best football last year when jake was out injured..... so why not start with Radley and bring on Baptiste for a stint when the ruck is tired.

Surely it is time to try something different!

I keep hearing Politis is a Friend fan, And Robbo is doing a terrible job convincing the world that Jake is fantastic. Jake will bring about the end of Robbo at the Roosters. So farking sad really.

He is our captain and won't be dropped. Only option if he has to play big minutes is swap him with Radley at dummy half when he is on.
But Friend's ego will not allow it. He reminds me of those singers on Australian Idol who can't believe it when the are told they are sh!t.

Friend was quoted in an interview that he is being 'made' to play the big minutes. He said he's approached 'the coach' about resting him so he's got more juice fore attack (lol). So what's the farking truth?

I’m sick of the dump Friend threads after every loss. Mods can you make a sticky thread titled something along the lines of, “We reckon our Captain is like Tits on a Bull”? That way everyone can share their outrage in the same thread rather than in so many different threads.

robbo is trying too hard to prove how critical friend is to the team and that actually punishes the team. hes already said radley will never start over him, now it looks like he wont even be subbed on for him. its a joke

Since Pearce is gone Friend has become the new whipping boy -I suppose every dimwit is entitled to an opinion though - Oh what do they think of the 2 mill or so signings of Cronk and Tedesco year so far - May have been better to keep Pearce and Gordon and spend the money on another prop and centre one has to say - Both have not offered much nor are they fitting in to Robbo's Rooster way of playing

Really!

just because I choose not to post constantly on here does not make me less of a supporter!

have been a season ticket holder for 20 plus years and a supporter for quiet a few more. Have supported Jake in numerous PRIVATE conversations I have had with fellow supporters. However I am so frustrated by the level of play this year I finally have expressed my view in a public forum. I think jake has given tremendous service to the roosters over the years however it is clearly evident that the game had changed and doesn't suit jakes style of play
