Jacob Liddle #198

He didn't pass off the ground once I reckon. Very very slow service, it's a worry he can't do that simple yet integral part of the game

Liddle didnt have anything organised from dummy half,most times there was noone there to pass to hence the delay

I've never seen a player who has done so little have so many excuses made for him. He was behind the pace today, which is nota surprise given how long it has been since he played, but still.

Jacob will take time...but ,the difference between Harry and Jacob is ...daylight....
Hope Simpkin can fill the shoes and make it in the NRL...Jacob will have to become a very solid 80 min player to even be considered as an NRL week to week hooker/dh...

He's played nearly 50 NRL games. How long are we going to wait for him while we have Simpkin in reserves.
 
I’ve received 3 separate messages from dudes at work saying ‘who is your hooker’ 😂
Too early to write him off but he was very poor today.
Think I saw him take one scoot from dummy ?
He has to be better next week .

Dont know mate,but Hartigan and Madge have to weigh up the options...buy some one new or upgrade Simpkin...I dont know,Im not in the position to know whats needed....

I dont think Simpkins is ready. That trial the other day. He was good but raw. He nearly passed the ball forward a few times and got pinged here and there. He does run it though so thats a plus.

Maybe it was because of the fact it was raining ? And the ball , this year feels like a cake of soap apparently, when wet.

Hodgson didn’t seem to be struggling.

All the other hookers seem to be handling the rain fine. There's no excuses for it, his service sucked.

Have you heard of Luke Brooks?
 
There was a whole lot of players worst than Liddle out there today. Nobody wanted the ball. Including our pathetic halves.

Hope so, he didn’t seem to know what was needed today. Or last year. Or 2019.

Simpkin deserves a crack but Mmbye has played ok so not sure what to do

Mbye is terrible. Bench or 18 for him.

Your opinion Mike...I would rather Mbye play in the halves than Luke atm...and thats my opinion mate...
 
Very underwhelming but will have to persist. He needs half a season of 80 minute football. Hookers take time to develop and our 1/6/7/9 we need to persist with to build combinations.

He picks up the ball every time . I was just replying to the comment about passing off the deck .
