Jacob Liddle #198

Looks like we will have a very ,very good spine,1,6,7,9, young and exciting to watch,hopefully Brooks will improve more this coming season as Moses has…
I have to agree with Happy though,our right side defense really has to improve greatly to stop leaking points..hopefully a new D coach will sort them out....

Has the new defensive/assistant coach been picked yet?
Looking forward to seeing Liddle play next season. I'd imagine he'd be coming off the bench, which means the other three bench players will have to be big boppers. AhLa Ava ,Grant, JJF

I rate Liddle , never said I didn't

We still have the problem with our 2,3 and 4 in on the left and right side defence , he can't fix that

Happy - I just don't get you. Simona is a gun. Naiqama has shown plenty. We have a more than capable team especially if Liddle steps up.

We need a better winger than Rankin mainly because that role is critical in the current game.

Simona occasionally shows glimpses but is more likely a winger , he has far too many brain snaps for my liking

Naiqama is a back up centre at best , his defence on the whole is shocking and he is terrible under the high ball

Naiqama isn't overly quick either , he is ok over the first 10-15 metres , but looks like he is running in quicksand after that
 
My concern with this article is it says Liddle's joined the extended 2017 NRl squad. I certainly hope that isn't the case and is rather Dan Talintyre just grouping all the guys leaving NYC under the same bracket. There's no way on earth Liddle and Jacobs should be on the same type of contract next year.

If Liddle is in the extended squad then we're likely to encounter a lot of 2nd tier cap problems next year presuming he plays. But surely he's on an NRL contract, and McIlwrick is on a 2nd tier contract…
 
I'd hazard a guess to say he will be in our top squad for next year. Taylor would have played him a lot more this year if it wasn't for the fact he was under the 2nd tier cap and I doubt he'd make the same mistake again. Liddle is our future in the 9 and comes with the same hype Farah did when he hit the scene. Exciting times

Wests Tigers hooker Jacob Liddle says he's looking to take his game to the next level in season 2017 after a memorable 2016 season that included his first-grade debut.

One of seven Holden Cup players to make the transition to full-time training in 2017, Liddle says he's enjoying spending another pre-season with the extended NRL squad, and is looking to use his experience gained last year to help him effectively make the step up.

"It definitely takes a load off having had that one game of NRL," he said.

"Hopefully I can use that to help me get a good pre-season in now.

"I definitely got a lot of confidence from last year. Not just with the debut, but also going between the Holden Cup and Intrust Super Premiership teams throughout the year helped me adjust and grow my game more. It was good to get a taste of that next level."

Billed as one of the brighest young prospects at the Club, the down-to-earth Wyong Roos junior says he's simply looking to improve his game in the year ahead.

Starting with his weight.

"The coaches are keen for me to put on a bit more weight," he said.

"I need to build up a bit. There's going to be some big boys out there so I need to be ready.

"I just want to improve as much as I can — build up the other part of my game so I'm ready for the step-up. Every aspect of my game I want to improve on and I know I can."

Maybe I missed something …where has Steve gone?

As far as I know he had already been given his marching orders under another pseudonym and had been warned for trolling

Remember the bloke who was the massive Moltz lover apart from CK , that was him
 
He will start and be really good as soon as Ballin gets injured. He is ready age means nothing he is tough skilful and quick
 
Looking forward to see what weight he starts the season at. He is lists as being 85 kg, Cameron Smith is 90\. Hopefully he gets to high 80's.
 
he is a good tough kid, will do us proud. i hope Ballin remains on the field for the majority of the year to help liddle settle into the weekly grind.

If Liddle can take from Ballin's 3 strengths being his work ethic , fitness and mental toughness Liddle could be anything as a hooker

He has the skills and talent already

I know people are bagging Ballin's signature , but if you look at the big picture , he could be one of the club's most astute signings

And that's it Hap,some people don't want to see the big picture,I reckon he was signed for that exact purpose,to tutor Liddle in the necessities of the NRL hooking role…Ballin is a very knowledgeable and experienced player....

Do people really do that? Get into forums and just waste all their time winding people up day in and out?

Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a bit of mild trolling, let's call it "goblining", to wind up someone you have a rapport with, or for making a joke. But spending all your time winding up people you don't even personally know, or have no online association with? Who has that kind of time on their hands?
