Debatable.
The youngest hooker in the nrl by 2yrs & impacted hard by covid being compared to a 26yr old who should’ve made the position his own and became 3rd string hooker by end of the year who was making monumental stuff ups in games costing us on the scoreboard.

27? Wow.. Thought he was younger.
Most players I normally think the opposite.. Noffa for example - still in his 20’s wth. Feels like he’s been around forever. Many players like this.
Not to mention some players look 40 plus and then you find out they’re in their late twenties or something 😂
Jacob Liddle was described as a talented young player, well why are we letting him go, if he's that talented why can't he be talented for US, why is he let go to another club, what's wrong with US (WT's) !!!
Because he cant stay on the field long enough to prove his talents....comes on and does some great things,gets injured and out for months....no value in that and the club has looked after him with his many injuries....time for change...
Been this way his entire career sadly...
Time for us to cut our losses and move on.
Hope he does well,
Hope the Tigers do even better 😉

He’s either been very unlucky, or our management, resources and facilities are pathetic. Tbh I think it’s probably a bit of both.
He’s a good player, but unfortunately has never had an opportunity to gain fitness, refine his skills and develop a continuous role within the team due to injury.
We now also have/had too many hookers, but hopefully Sheens has pulled the right reign.. I don’t think Api will provide the desired impact for our club, and Simpkin still seems a way off in his development, if he even gets there.

IMHO, in that group must be Nofoaluma, Seyfarth, Brooks and Twal in addition there is a group that is retired/signed with other clubs Madden, Roberts, Simpkins, Tamou, and Peachey.
We shall start with a clean slate, and start with props and 2nd rowers - no prisoners, aggressive players we did not signed for at least 6-7 years e.g. Ellis, Taupau, Aloiai, and N Brown!

Doesn't make what he said any less accurate.

Mrs Simpkin is only supporting her son like any loving mother would i guess

I think he just doesn't have the talent to step up regularly in first grade. He has had plenty of opportunities. I don't see how our management has anything to do with his on field performances.

Which hooker could? Impact or not, Api is close to being the best hooker in the comp. So it’s definitely a step up. He’s not on overs either (reportedly).
We all know he can’t win games on his own.
To me Liddle was the easiest back up to let go, simpkin can fill in (or develop) whilst the other young ones develop.

Would have used him differently and had him in the side all season if holding the reins. Wish him all the best and will pass a cursory eye over him next year at the Dragons.
Will not be surprised if he grabs the main hooker role over there.

There was rumours circling he failed his medical, wasn't there ?
And then it was announced...
Not sure what's going on there.
