Simpkin goes OK in Ressies, And he's far superior to Liddle
Liddle absolutely brains them in Ressies, and He's far inferior to Simpkin.
Liddle by far outplayed Simpkin in First Grade, And Reserve Grade.... Hands down
That might not always be the case, But If we're playing in the park tomorrow and I'm picking one or the other,
I'm picking Liddle... If I'm looking to win of course.
I can see now why we don't make the 8
look to the future Liddel has had 64 chances to prove he can go 80 mins he can't
Good to see u back Jedi, and all your pearls of wisdom. With no context. 64 games marked by injuries. Mostly from poor management in blooding him to early, hence the double shoulder reconstructions and some by sheer bad luck when Talau kicks him in the side of the knee!
Last season was I think his first full season. Yes u are correct he is not an 80 minute player, yet.
As I have stated neither was Cook, he came if the bench for years, even recently Farah was coming of the bench for him, and he is the Australian hooker!
Yet don’t let me get in the way of u death riding liddle, u seem to excell at it. Or revel in it, not quite sure.
Anyway I can’t tell u 100% he will be a great 80 minute player, time will tell. What I can tell u is he is the best hooker at the club at the moment. Have u seriously seen the shoulders on Simpkin? And u want him to be the starting hooker?? Wasn’t he injured late last season with a shoulder problem? Not ready physically or mentally in my opinion. I hope the club looks after him better than they did liddle, and take their time.
I hope Simpkin turns out to be the player some people think he will be. But I have seen more in liddle at the same age as Simpkin is now.
I remember when liddle was playing in the 20s and was the best hooker in that comp, he played up against the cheese at the cowboys in one game, and the cheese owned him that day. But that was based in physicality, liddle always had him for skills.
Not to mention many off the bench (Probably behind class hookers like Dene Halatau, Matt McIlwrick or Elijah Taylor)
Here's a stat (That hasn't been mentioned yet) for all the brain surgeons on this forum, Prior to 2021 Liddle has started at No 9 - **10 TIMES IN HIS CAREER** TEN!!
Over 5 years in between plenty of Injuries... TEN!!
Most in a very ordinary side...
Off the back off 6 Games last year, And a major injury prior to that.
- I'm prepared to give the Kid the benefit of the doubt.
He's a footballer, The fact most here can't see it means very liddle to me
(See what I did there),
And I would guess the staff running our squad would think the same.
so it is other players fault liddle can't pass and the fact he has played 64 games over 5 years.
Get a good hooker in and move simpkin to bench and push Liddle on
Hopefully Sheens relapses Liddle can't play 80 mins
I wouldn't have spent all that time explain it to you, If I knew you weren't going to read it.
You do you buddy...
I'll do reality (And common sense)
keep supporting Liddle mate in your eyes the perfect 9 good luck
Where did anyone say Liddle is the perfect 9? Statements like this are just argumentative.
NOONE
EVER
If anything, At best it's been he's got some work to do....
Unless we're getting Smith, Grant, Api, Cook, Reed, Even McInness or Hodgson maybe...
Liddle is it.
Why bang on about it...
