jake friend. 60 tackles..

[crikey chris]

Again, thanks Jim for helping Jake out while Jake was in the "sin bin"

A future rep player in the making

60 tackles in a grand final is MASSIVE

[Guest]

I'm happy we'll see him running the ball more next year. when he's not so burnt out doing all the tackling!!

[Guest]

Watts can **** right off! Can you begin to imagine the fantasy points Friend would reap if he played the 80 minutes every week!!!

[Kingbilly]

a great kid and with hopefully a long future at the club.

There are things this kid was going to give back to the community before his reinstaetment to first grade, that are telling indicators on the character of Jake.

[Pass the Ball]

He did brilliantly, but Young was even better...

[Chook Norris]

that is a phenomenal effort!

but i like some would prefer him to play more straight and run more up the middle.. but perhaps Smith is limiting this to our backs i'm not sure.. until Watts comes anyway

[Guest]

probably the last bloke to do it was Fitzy

[Guest]

great work rate but unlike the top rakes in the game, Smith, Farrah, Ennis, Fein, etc, he is not creative. Hookers these days must also have the skills of a half.....friend is a tackling machine but lacks creativity.

[Kingbilly]

Pimp have you not noticed that the creative part of his game is developing.
He is doing a little more each week.
Smith is doing a great job with him.

As did Joe Thomas (And Adrian Lam too I think)

I would have Bonetti back in a heart beat, Friend is better than Bonetti

[Guest]

He did brilliantly, but Young was even better...

cant believe Young didnt win CCM

[Pass the Ball]

cant believe Young didnt win CCM

Agreed - I would have given the CCM to that carnt also...
