Not the Cameron Smith type player, tempo and game controller. Please people compare apples with apples.
I believe as stated before his passing and timing will improve this year, as he gets more used to his guns. If Madge learns how to use his bench more effectively?!?!?!
I'm sorry, he's not a candle on Cook for speed and Lids service is his biggest weakness (bigger weakness than his stamina)
Based on what?? Did u watch Cook when he played for the dogs?? I bet u didn’t, I did and he was very similar to liddle, except liddle had a better passing game! Cook was erratic, inconsistent and only came on for short bursts. Was considered a one trick pony, being his speed! He was lucky to get twenty minute a game.
Don’t come on here claiming to know everything about cook. Do u think he was a state of origin player, out of the rapper?
Please....
Hahaha I have known Damien since he was a kid and raced him and his brother in surf lifesaving. So yes I followed his career with interest and he was criminally underused by Des, behind Lichaa who was terrible.
Also what I said with regards to the comparison comment was he doesn't hold a candle to Cook for speed, which is factually correct. Go and check the Telstra tracker data from throughout the season. Liddle is quick off the mark but after a short distance he's running in quicksand, Cook is legitimately fast
Again, wasn’t comparing time checks! Just saying they are similar styles of players. Not exactly the same speed, just more speed orientated! Read my posts more thoroughly, what has the great Simpkin shown that excites you haters so much?? Crashing over from dummy half to poor defence in reserve grade or throwing flat balls to big forwards a couple of meters from the line?? He may come good in time, but his body is tiny and he’s a couple of years off being ready for the grind! As stated by several others here, liddle is the best hooker in our squad currently. Just needs to be used better with the bench as Cook was at the start of his career! On for 30 minutes then of for 20-30 back in for the last 20-30! Not rocket science, but Madge is clueless with bench rotations.
Just give him the chance to get used to his bigger frame and his passing will improve this season.
I am just hoping that the attacking coach will be in charge of the bench rotation this year, not Cayless as he is useless, **roosters don’t let good coaches just leave if they’re any good.**
Poor old sharkies.
