Rubbish. Friend has been really good this year - far better than what he dished up last year.
His service has been first class and his defence goes without saying. He's even managed a few decent kicks as well.

As I said Friendly(His nick name I understand) has to improve his running and kicking game as the days of tackling machines is over need to have other bows to his game - sure he kicked a 40 - 20 against the Dogs- easiest position to kick is from dummy half- need to look at kicking deep and to open field early too when wingers and fullbacks are up close to the defence in early tackle counts and have he chase kickers too to do their bit- when our forwards were dominating in attack Friendly's job was easy now when they are not dominating he needs a running and kicking game to move the team forward- Cannot rely solely on Pearce for the kick as teams are awake to this and are targeting him not only kicks but generally in attack - Keary needs to step up too- Peace most often kicks straight to the fullback and or wingers- need to find open ground and make them fetch the ball and have the kick chaser in numbers to capitalise on this - tackle quickly off the tackled player play the ball as it can take 3 to 4 tackles for their runners to get back on side to run the ball up - very poor 5th tackle options(hail Mary kick or Toops) and Pearce as we know has the lowest repeat set average of any half back- I hope as Joey Johns said there is a lot of improvement in the Roosters- starting to ask when will this be shown- almost 1/3 through the season. Time to show improvement is next game and rest of seasonLast edited by King Salvo; 04-17-2017, 10:41 PM.
