Liddle

[Jedi_Tiger]

Guys were at the bottom of the table and Liddle has played more games. Time to move on.

If Liddle is as good as most on here think then the club would have signed him before simpkin and also to a longer deal. The form with Liddle is exposed the club knows what they have a solid no frills first grader with 50 games experience over 5 years.
The club can see what simpkin has skill wise after 50 games and or 5 years they will have made the right call with simpkin

And you seem to think Mbye is a more viable dummy half option.

would prefer Brandon Smith as the second option to simpkin if we could get that

why doesn't the club sign liddle up then if he is so great. sign him up to a 2 or 3 year deal then he gets the gig infringement of simpkin I guess.

I think it was someone (Geo??? will stand corrected) said he had a contract on the table?

I think someone said it was a one year contract

one of pom or cctw mentioned 1 yr contract on offer

I would be going hard for Brandon Smith. If we happen to land him, reluctantly let Liddle go.

If not, we try and keep Liddle. There's not much on the market that offers more.

agree go for Smith if we can and let liddle go if we miss him then liddle is available and we also have simpkin

Expecting a massive game from young Jacob...

Wonder what they see Hastings best position as.... surely not 13 like reported. Maybe 9? Maybe 6? Maybe 7?

Go Liddle!


I remember when they used to call Moses slow.

 

[the_third]

Where’s cook. Oh yeah he didn’t run.

Haha

Smith wouldn’t be a second option

It was fantastic to see Liddle run down RTS when he made a break. He looked surprisingly fast.

All we need from the hooker is fast accurate passing from dummy half and to sometimes run and sometimes get it to Brooks on quick play the balls.

A dominant/controlling hooker like Hodgson or Cam Smith changes the whole roster, you spend less on halves, more on forwards and the back 3.

Wish he used that pace a bit more, needs to jump out and keep defences guessing like Korisau and Cook do

Really? I think Jacob Liddle is every bit as good as Koroisau and Cook; both of them are flat track bullies. Nothing more.

The good thing as well is that Liddle has been injury free since his return

If he stays injury free he is only going to get fitter and stronger ..his best is in front of him and some good offers will come ..i getting the feeling the club might be putting there eggs in the wrong basket.

100% agree. He is only going to get better. Has the right never give up attitude (you can’t coach that). I hope the club sees what he is doing.

hope he shows the same loyalty 2 the club as they did 2 him,in clubs favour of course,1 yr deal is ok

Never doubt his loyalty to us Mate.

I am more worried about the Club having any loyalty to him.

Haven't shown much in team selections to date this year. Simpkin was replaced to go and work on his game which has not been very good. Then because he was in the bubble he had to go to Magic Round. When he should have been working on his game last week in Reggies he ended up on the bench. We really became a different team when he replaced Liddle in the second half and didn't regain our mojo again until Liddle came back for the final minutes.

Blind Freddie can see that this kid is not ready for NRL and has a multitude of things to work on - standing with hands on hips after passing the ball from DH is JUST NOT ON! The sooner he starts putting in Effort with a capital E, stops hogging the ball and works out which way he should be passing the ball L or R, works on his speed and passing game, the better.

If we let Liddle go, or insult him with a one year contract - we deserve to lose him and stay in the bottom four.

u so lucky its not the apprehention po po

I think liddle needs to turn up each week - as should be expected. Simpkin is breathing down his neck. One or two shockers or another injury (god hope not) and Simpkin gets another shot and maybe holds it down. Waiting for Liddle to have a blinder. He deserves a shot and hope he has a great 80 min game this week

Simpkin isn’t breathing down anyone’s neck at the moment. Slow and predictable. Has a great game once in a while. He needs to get his consistency up big time, or it could be a very short career

A lot of hype and excitement on here about Simpkin. I am yet to see anything about his game that excites me. Liddle is streets ahead of him ATM.

At this stage he is but Simkin is young and if he does the development work that is required of him who knows what he will be in 2-3 years.Getting Liddle under contact for the next few years is hopefully being organised quickly

Yeh, just like you posting something vaguely accurate and interesting.

If Liddle keeps playing like he is he might get some good offers from other clubs. We will need to be careful with how we play this if we don't re-sign him soon. Jake Simpkin might have a higher ceiling than Liddle, but right now Liddle is the best we've got and he's doing a really good job. I would hate to see us spend years developing a player and nursing them through injuries, only for another club to reap the rewards.
