@Balmain Boy said:Robbie is already starting to look slow and his decision making has been off this season, but his defence is still rock solid. He'll still be our starting hooker for this season and next barring injury or suspension.
How many 20 year old hookers are there in the NRL these days? Lichaa is 21 and he's probably the youngest. I think he's realistic that he's only ever played about a few hundred minutes against men in his career thus far. He's got to continue to work on his fitness, defence and his decision making while playing at a higher level than the u20s. It's a big step up afterall. Even just to NSW Cup.
Cherrington is full of talent and will play NRL soon enough. No point rushing him and getting injured.
Liddle seems to ve a very good young hooker too. At this stage it's his running game which makes him stand out, but this is only after a few games. Let's see how he progresses. Considering he wasn't one from our catchment area/junior clubs and decided to join us he must see us as a good club to develop his skills at.
I was disapointed when the Lichaa signed with the dogs. I was really looking forward to seeing the sharks young guns come through together, as they had a very bright future with a few of their boys.
Liddle is a very good player and I can see a lot of upside but still so young.
