Think Jacob can play 80mins next season?

He out trained almost everyone during last off season and I reckon he could, at a pinch, play 80 mins now, so next season, I'd say "yes he can".

He looks as though he can. Personally not a fan of running with two 9s.

Nathan coming would ruin his career.

You never mix family with business. Especially when you are in the publics eye.

Dont agree. Family and business do mix very well.
The only obstacle is living together.

The fact clearys dad coaches us makes it more certain he wouldnt come..No offence working under your parents is crap and a young teenage guy wouldnot want to go there. Especially if they live together.

The first contract young Cleary signed with the Panthers had a clause that if Ivan changed clubs Nathan had a get out option. This was removed when the contract was redone recently when Ivan was out of a job.

Nathan still lives at home so its obvious they have a good relationship.

Nathan coming would ruin his career.

That's a very broad brush you paint with .

John Lang coached Martin Lang to a premiership win at the panthers in 2003 .

Would of rather the tigers extend him long term he is definetly the tigers long term hooker.

i think 2.5 more years is enough for now, still only 20 with a few games under his belt.

dont want to put all our eggs in one basket just yet, unless he's willing to sign for peanuts in 2020 which i doubt he would as he/his manager know his worth should rise if he plays well
 
Wests Tigers are pleased to announce that Jacob Liddle has extended his playing contract for a further season, securing him at the club until at least the end of 2019.

Liddle was already under contract for the 2018 season, and has signed a one-year contract extension to keep him in Wests Tigers colours for the next two seasons.

A former Australian Schoolboy, Liddle was a standout in the club’s Holden Cup side throughout 2015 and 2016 — awarded the club’s NYC Player’s Player award in 2015 before being selected in the New South Wales under-20s squad the following year.

Going on to make his memorable first grade debut later in 2016 against the Bulldogs, the Wyong Roos junior has featured in eight games for Ivan Cleary’s side so far in 2017.

Liddle said he was looking forward to continuing his development with Wests Tigers

Liddle said that he was looking forward to continuing his development with Wests Tigers.

“I’m really excited for the opportunity that Wests Tigers has given me, the club has given me the chance to develop my game both on and off the field,” said Liddle.

“Wests Tigers are a great club and the future is bright here, we’ve got a lot of players coming in and a lot who have helped me develop as I’ve come through the grades.

“It’s a nice feeling to have the security, it takes the pressure off and allows me to focus on my game as a player and to continue to develop,” he said.

Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary welcomed Liddle’s contract extension with the club.

“Jacob is a talented kid who puts the team before himself,” said Cleary. “We look forward to Jacob being an influential player in the long-term future of Wests Tigers.
 
There is a piece in the DT today about Jayden Brailey and Jacob Liddle. Both toured the UK as Aust Schools hookers and shared the hooking position. Brailey is 21 and Liddle 20 with Brian Battese providing brief comments on each player. To me, debuting behind the Sharks' pack would be considerably easier than ours which is pushed around most weeks.
 
Not convinced on Liddle yet - haven't seen anything at NRL level that makes me think he is going to be a standout. I expected him to come on in the latter part of each half and dash out of dummy half with some speed and evasion making breaks when opposition forwards are tired. This style of dh can really get the team rolling on with quick ptbs. Perhaps he's struggling with the physicallity and defensive load in our forward pack and this is sapping his energy in attack. MM has done a far better job in my view.
 
Outstanding tonight. Created a 12 point turnaround when he ran down a Cronulla back in open space with the try line open. A few minutes later he scored a try and later on he again ran down from behind another Cronulla player with the line open. He outshone Jayden Brailey.
 
I think we have to wait for TIGER to have a say…

Defence was everywhere..
 
On the few times in the second half in which we got a bit of a roll on going (i.e. quick play the balls) he was straight out of dummy half and getting great yards in behind the ruck.
His passing off the ground needs a bit of work, but he's looking good - just need to get him that go forward.
 
Looks to be out for the season…dislocated shoulder

..........Meanwhile, the season of Wests Tigers hooker Jacob Liddle is also over after the youngster suffered a dislocated shoulder in his side’s loss to Manly on Sunday.
>
Liddle lasted just minutes after kick off before having to come from the paddock.
>
“He’s dislocated his shoulder so it’s not great,” Tigers coach Ivan Cleary said.
>
“He’ll get scans and hopefully the damage isn’t too bad.
>
“But he’s going to be missing for a while. I think he’d be unlikely to be back this year.”......

Who comes in?
McIlwrick can't play 80.

Is Jeremy Marahall-King not playing in ISP because he's injured? Or is Wheelhouse just better?
