You need a hug..

In the words of you know who, please explain?

I didn't think Lam got enough time last night. Only 13 minutes when Friend looked like he needed a break much sooner. He seems to add a new dimension to our attack when he is on and his defence has been good in the two games he played. Made 51 tackles and missed 1.

One thing we are missing with Radley is his attacking option. I don't think anyone we have used at lock to date has done anything to our attack.

I wouldn't mind Robbo giving Lam some time at lock over the next three games. I don't think he would have problems playing longer minutes and he can always slip into dummy half when Friend needs a break. He may even provide more than Radley in attack. He has a good pass, backs up well and is pretty fast off a standing start.

Gee I dont know Buddy. I would love to see Lam get more minutes but lock would be a stretch for the little tacker. I dont think Bondi Boy would allow it anyway with his Height/Weight coach role.

He is obviously best suited in the halves but that means no Flan or Keary so not ideal. At the moment he has looked good as a backup hooker.

Who's to say we coudnt move Jake to lock and Lam to D-half?

If Lam doesn't cut it, Jake moves to D-half and Liu, Tauks or Butch cover Friend at Lock..

Lam moves back to bench as utility.

Friend could easily focus more on middle defence, has a good enough passing game to link plays out the back, and isn't afraid of a hit up... would also mean less work for him getting to the ruck every play so may keep his fatigue down?

Opinions welcomed.
