One match so far. Shouldn't be deathriding Middle ( again).

Totally agree. Can't understand why he wasn't passing off the ground. Not doing him justice if this was an instruction and he certainly doesn't need to give many on this forum more reason to deathride him
Too early for 80 for him.
Not his best game for us, but still have every faith he will come good.
I'm a fan, but it's too funny that people were comparing Lids with Grant. Daylight. But if he can consistently deliver the flashes of good stuff we've seen, he'll be a very good hooker for us.
Definitely should be sharing the role at the moment, whether it's with Mbye or Simpkin (preferable, but happy to give him time in ressies).

We run with a Liddle and Simpkin combination this year until one stands out and can play the 80
Release one at the end of the year
Sign Smith at all costs and he goes straight to Hooker
I don't see liddle excelling
I think our best chance will be Simpkin
But he may not work out either
This game was a reality check for our guys
There is more work to be done

Simpkin needs to come in, he will be our long term 9, we persist with these so called future stars for way too long, we never learn

Not his best game today but I blame the coach for the decision to play a bloke coming back from long term injury to play 80min without a back up hooker on the bench.
Liddle's running game was non-existent as he tried to reserve his energy levels and his running game is a strong part of his game.
Hopefully next week, we see Mbye on the bench at 14 covering that role which he would be perfect for.
Simpkin can just ply his trade in reggies a bit longer. Kid has not played for nearly a season because of covid. No need to put pressure on him. He can build nicely in reggies for a few weeks to get game time.
The player we should have got is Joey Lussick who is at Parra but played at Salford for the past couple of years and was outstanding. He would have been a very good back up but we are stuck Docker-Clay who is terrible as back up half/hooker.

Liddle had a good first half - his second half was not so good, just like most of the team. Players were overrunning the PTB, which slowed it down.
TT - I don't believe you have joined the boys who give a player one game (first of the season) and want to drop him for a guy who has not played one game of NRL.
Must say I am disappointed in your thoughts on this.

I think it was a big ask for Liddle to play 80 in the middle against arguably the biggest pack in the comp. Defensively he held his own, but ran out of puff in attack.
I think he was let down by the halves. The side never looked organised or cohesive in attack, but I don't think it's fair to lay the blame for that solely at Liddle's feet.
I think Talau was an odd selection on the bench. I can't figure out the plan to use him other than injury cover.
Simpkin would have added a little more balance to the bench. But next week I'd imagine Mbye will share the hooking role with Liddle when Doueihei returns.

Russ,Im not wanting to throw Jacob out after one game...What Im saying is the ones screaming for Simpkin to play instead then "throw him in next week"..Madge will know what to do,and if Jacob does go ,there should be some that go with him,however Madge doesnt take punters advice on who to select,give these guys at least half a dozen games to gel and settle...all will be good....
