And Liddle's only starting to play the football he's capable of at the age of 29.
Liddle should've been an Origin player, but injuries and being coached by an idiot ruined his confidence for a few years has crippled his career.

Hes good yes, Origin i don't think so. He is really good. If Api wasn't the GOAT, he surely would of been our starter and potentially could have played rep footy but i dont see him ever being better than Robson, Watson, Cook or Api

That’s the point he’s making mate . That middle SHOULD have been an origin player.
You run his career through a simulator 100 times how many turn out worse than this version of liddle .
You’d think at least 50% of the time he gets to the level he should have .
I think that’s what he’s saying .

Ohhhh,

I completely mis-understood. i thought he was talking about an origin call up this time around. My bad lol

I still stand by my comment regarding his selection though. Even if he was given the opportunity all those years back, i still dont think that he is getting a start over the other 9s in the comp but thats just me personally. I was so upset when he left.

Yeah well said oldman...took the words outta my mouth.

Its not an islander thing....but I have wondered if playing with men, seasoned NRL hardened men is getting to LG.

Hes gone straight from whatever, Matts or Flegg into NRL...big jump and not gradual at all....and while a lot of these 'men' ...imo...carry on like kids with gaming and vlogging etc ...maybe hes starting to lose the fun aspect, not just because of his team mates but the high pressure requirements needed for professional NRL
We all here how he just wants to have fun and play footy, play what he sees...sorry Lachy those days are over...this is high stakes big business ..not junior reps any more playing with your school mates....is taht what he yearns for going back to his old high school teacher/coach?

Right now I think Liddle is better than Cook, but Origin is a pretty long stretch.

Where's that bloke that loved Jacob Liddle when I need some back up. (was it russell?)

Nah he never got there . Thats the point . He probably should have . Bad coaching , bad culture , lack of drive to be that level above . ( I’m talking that Michael Jordan , Kobe Bryant ,Tom Brady , Christian Ronaldo type drive. At the expense of everybody around you ) .
Still he’s made a fair wicket for himself now going on probably 10-11 years . You’d think he would be averaging over 300-400k over that time . Hopefully he was / is smart with his money , and had good people around him .
I always liked liddle , and to be fair he was given every opportunity to be the 9 here. He never took that leap . It’s kind of sad he’s only now getting where should have been .
What’s the saying “youth is wasted on the young”.

Fair enough

I honestly was so upset when he left. He's an uncrowned king imo

Hes 29 as u said..still playing back up no 9
Throws a terrible pass from dummy half which slows everything down in attack...diametric opposite to Api
Yep,hes the fastest hooker on the planet when given open space..but thats not his job
