  • Would Jake Friend make a good.......

    I'm only asking this as he seemed to be playing a different style in those last few weeks. He was running the ball, kicking.... I'm not saying i'm for it, but would be interested in others opinions..

    If it aint broke dont fix it. I think he is getting better every week at dummy half. Not sure he has the pace to play 5/8. In saying that, Braith is not exactly Shane Wherret.

      Or Darren Clarke for that matter.

      Oh, sorry, I thought you were making an analogy about failed attempts to shove someone into a position they have absolutely no competence to be in.

        I think Friend is a little slow for 5/8 and had little talent in the kicking department. Hey Blind freddy....It's MY OPINION!

          It's the correct one, too.

          He could make a very good hooker, or a decent 5/8.

          He is on the cusp of massive, massive improvements - to shift him now would send him backwards.

            The move might have some positives Friend at 6 Anasta at 9.

              wrong build, not enough speed. he is an out and out hooker not dissimilar to a buderus imo. no 5/8.

                6 was his position, who would doubt he could go back to 6??

                  If you'd seen him play his junior footy at number six you would have no doubt. I think if you watched the last game of the season he kept running after the Storm player that scored the try. Might not be the fastest player but has pace. I think he has great ball playing skills. He would play anywhere that would benefit the team. He would do his best too!!

                      I'm an Anasta fan but am not convinced that he is the best option for the 6 jersey, that's all.. I prefer him at lock

                        I'm not sure if Friend at 5/8 would work or not, but one thing it would do is open up a bench spot with Mitchell coming in as an 80 minute hooker.

                        I don't like having little guys on the bench !

                          He almost made Charlie's XIII Team
                          If any thing. I would say he would make a good half back

                            Id love to see Jake in the 7 and Pearce in the 6.

                              Could he be the replacement for Mini...?

                              We have had threads moving him to lock..
                              We have had threads moving him to 5/8..
                              and threads now moving him to half-back...

                              Jake Friend was the shining light of the season at Easts. He played out of his skin at dummy-half...

                              Dummy-half is his position..

                              Dummy-half is the one position at Easts we do not have a problem with..

                              He won Easts player of the year at, yes you guessed it, dummy-farking-half...
