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

[Guest]

Yeah totally agree PTB. He is a hooker, no question about it. We have enough problems without shifting our best player.

[Billy Gunn]

Jake is a hooker in the Cam Smith mould, could fill the role in 7 or 6 if needed but the team gets more value from him playing 9

Best value where he currently is....a real work horse.

[Guest]

He'd be better than our current fullback, but then so would a star picket.

Chook.

I agree with you PTB. Does great work from dummy half.

[Hawkeye]

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...

Funny bast*d
I saw the thread title and was about to come on here and get stuck in .....then I read your post.

Absolutely agree 100%
Can't understand why when we finally unearth a decent hooker, then people want to put him somewhere else ?

Leave Jake at No.9 where he does his best work for the team

[tullo]

I say keep him where he is ... a good footballer getting better ... similar to Bunny Reilly

[Guest]

Yeah jake provides great attack out of dummy half as well

[bondi-boy]

Mini played well in the last 4 games.

[John Corey]

Mini played well in the last 4 games.

Thats excellent. Perhaps Uncle Nick can whisper to Gallop that he has a 'stone in his shoe'. When Gallops asks what wrong, uncle Nick can reply, "Can we reduce the comp to 4 games?"

If only he was half as good in attack as Smith!

[Vasco]

Mini played well in the last 4 games.

Don't let winning games mask over the major weaknesses we still have.

We will just have to bare with him for another season.

I would like to know how many line breaks he made this year.

[Billy Gunn]

If only he was half as good in attack as Smith!

He will be, his attack this year has really improved, be patient.

[Guest]

Agree with Billy, He played 6 before coming to our club. Jake is coming along nicely, Cameron wasn't as good as Jake at the same age!
