Hooker merry-go-round

Liddle isnt needed by Eels next year though as Mahoney still there till 2023 so taking Robson for 2022 means having 3 hookers and not strengthening any area of greater need.

Mahoney is leaving for the Dogs.
Which is Salary cap crazy.

Basically Parra are going to be looking for a Hooker. If we can get Papalii early I would be interested in sending Simpkin or Liddle that way.

Otherwise no real compultion to solve Parras salary cap or the dogs salary wrought. Can we ban Gould from the game?

There’s no way that I would be giving Parra Simpkin, maybe at a push I would swap Liddle for Papili’i in 22.

Mahoney isn't joing the Dogs till 2023 though. They don't need a hooker for 2022 so they aren't going to release Papalii for one and have him sit on the bench for 12months.

Misleading title. I was about to run down the park.

Might need to stop here for a milkshake on the way.

So apparently cowboys offered us Reece Robson for early release Luciano and we've said an initial no

But if we can get papalii early and send Liddle to Parra, Robson would be a great option

Nanai or luki could be good too.. but both still pretty raw

Liddle is a far better hooker than Robson. If we wanted Robson, we should have kept his brother.

Is that Braedon?
Are they bros?

TWINS I think

No one listens to Buzz.

He is a gossip columnist.

In fairness to Buzz, every time he mentions the Tigers it is repeated on here. So someone is listening to him.
 
We've stuck by Liddsy for this long so I'm happy to keep him another year and see how he goes with another pre-season under his belt. Simpkin will only get better so happy to sit tight and not make any knee-jerk swaps.
 
My POV (and I feel the same about Luciano) but the club should only ever entertain releasing a player if they are surplus to the team's requirements and we are getting a rep quality - or potential rep quality - player in return/place of. It's something what a team like the Storm has always gotten right and why they're considered superior with the management of their roster.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Liddsy is much improved next year, but the club's interest in Api and Hodgson show they aren't confident and they'll take another option if it becomes available.

Giving Parra Simpkin is just plain crazy.

Agree and I can see slithers of that happening now, hopefully we stay strong.
