I'm not worried about Liddle. He will progress under Farah's tutelage. It is the other gaps in the roster which are of concern.

He did win us the game when he took over at start of second half

It’s a massive issue he is better with the ball than Farah and Brooks looks better when he is on but the defence probably due to no game time and injury is not acceptable.
ET was missed defensively slowing down the play the ball but he offers nothing with the ball. We have too many one dimensional players.

I thought Farah re-ignited us with his grubber - and when he went off our defence weakened. His lack of speed strongly points to retirement but he still gets the job done one way or another.

His dummy half kick for lawrence try was very smart as tom had chased brooks on the other side of the field.
We rally lack power in a the middle Taupau and Fonua Blake had 17 tackle busts between them. We lack athletes which, is the problem and too many limited unathletic one dimensional players with limited impact. You can only graft and scramble for so long it has worn us down.
We can’t field Eiso, ET, Packer, Mats, Rochow etc next year. We need 1-2 sledgehammers Taupau, Fonua Blake, Pangai Jr etc.
Mats and Packer will be strong leaders and key players but they need help from younger powerhouses.

At the end of the day a win over Manly no matter by how many is always a good feeling 😎

Would rather see Liddle injected in the middle third and Farah back at the end.

That win sure did feel like a loss
Benji been playing injured for some time, he was held together with gaffa tape last night. Ribs, thigh and something else as well I think.
We seem to clock off at points still though and that first half was fairly average, hard to believe how the players are not more focused.
Liddle needs to come on earlier, not when the opposition has already started rolling over us.
We need a couple more forwards with more punch, Packer was hitting hard at least defensively in the 2nd half, but we need someone else like Twal and Sue who were running with some venom.
More speed for next year needed, Robbie's break in the first half was in slow motion and he didn't have much support.

I love his good work but am afraid he will leak too many easy tries. At least M Moses was fooled when he looked like an idiot and let tries get scored near him unimpeded. I don't know the game sufficiently to know if LIddle had an excuse for being on light duties and let that try in - the guy next to him was certainly awake. We heard how Jacob has created records with 70 tackles a game??? I got concussion getting run over stopping tries by big guys and that was for no pay. give Jacob a pair of sunglasses and a banana chair on the sideline.
