Did you watch that passage of play at all? Victor Radley continued his run right in the path of Friend, what was he supposed to do pass it at Radley's head or hold on to the ball and get tackled? That delay caused Walker to be in Cronk's face as the ball arrived because Friend hesitates and attempts to pass it in front of him so if Radley doesn't get in the way then Friend can easily get off a pass to Cronk in time.

When a team makes a break the dummy half should pass it off the deck and spin it out the backline , that's a basic rule of footy since the game was invented. The opposition are always short on the opposite side of the field. Friend picked it up and started running with it which caused the stuff up.

Actually i did watch that passage of play , hence why i commented on it. I dont get in the habit of giving my 2 cents worth on play that i dont see He had the option to release it earlier and as per usual he held on too long,then chose the wrong option. Thinking on the run isnt Friends strong suit and i think you just confirmed that with your statement. What was he suppose to do? Simply chose an option that doesnt nearly cost us the game. Walker didnt knock it on.It was a lucky call that went our way. Most probably he would have went all the way. So my question to you is. Would you still be defending Friend if that happened. What was he suppose to do you say. Haha
1. Take the tackle, would you like that?
2. Spin it to the blind side where there is no momentum?
3. Have the option to release it earlier like you say and pass it straight in to Radley
Whatever he does the play has broken down before it has even started because Radley had zero situational awareness and for some reason was running a decoy play when Manly were on the back peddle and we had all the momentum. If Radley isn't there to fark it up then Friend gets a pass away, Cronk gets the ball before Walker arrives and I am hoping he is able to evade the tackle and suddenly we have a defender out of the line and we are attacking with all the momentum. That play was Radley's fark up.

he was pushing up in support because nugget took off from dummy half after a quick play the ball. He took the right option, initially, problem is he isn’t quick enough to capatalize on the hole behind the ruck, when he realised that he looked to pass, hesitated and threw a shit lollie pop wobbling ball.
Thats how I saw it, think of it how you like, he’s past his used by date unfortunatley

Oh yes all the Friend bashers out again and it wasn`t even a full moon - Ho hum- lose its` Friends fault and win Ho Hum- it`s Friends fault still - Ho Hum.................... mmm Tedesco and Cronk the two highest paid players at the club had blinders you will say next - 2 mill waste of money many are saying and better to have kept Pearce and Gordon- came second during the regular season with these two - wont with Tedesco and Cronk - money should have been spent on an NRL standard centre and Prop.
No chance this year and Warriors will towel them up next game in NZ having already comprehensively won the first game 30 - 6 at AllianzLast edited by King Salvo; 05-07-2018, 02:24 AM.

PS on another not Cordner isn’t going that much better, struggling to fit him into the origin team let alone as captain....

Anyway, we have to face the fact that Friend (like Finch before him) isn't going anywhere soon so we have to hope his "impact" is lessened by a reduction in the minutes he plays.
