A team is never about individuals - that's why they call it a team sport.
If Reddy was anywhere near correct, why didn't he name the 12/13 players from our best available team to prove his point that these same players should not be playing first grade.
Over the years, there's always individual players who are scorned for whatever reason - but one thing remains: every individual player who laces up footy boots has courage and enough football smarts to satisfy the coaches who select teams.
Not every player is a potential rugby league immortal - but every player deserves the respect of being the footballer he is.
And back to your question to me: the numbers within our team who are 1st grade standard by Rocket's assessment is irrelevant - the game is to play competitively. As things stand, and just look at the competition table, Wests Tigers are one of all the teams from 6 down who are each a chance of beating anyone - so maybe a champion team will ALWAYS beat a team of champions!

You can not take seriously anything Rocket Rod has to say check him out on Wikipedia coaching career highlight coached Barrow in English RL to a 90-0 defeat surprisingly sacked as coach lasting only a year also known as the Phantom Biter in his playing days and is a Queenslander enough said and as Robbie said where are they now?
 
No team in the history of the game owes a young player a spot. The young player has to earn it. Forward passes when the pressure is on and the massive momentum swing from that play doesn say 'pick me' it says im not ready!

Jacob Liddle has done nothing special to earn a first grade spot. Nothing!

Go watch the replay of the 77 grand final, he destroyed the parra forwards all illegally, he was a very dirty player, a pretty good player, but makes Josh McGuire look like a choir boy
 
Its actually quite disgusting how our fans are turning on a guy who has played 300 games for the club.

Not to mention the ridiculous idea that this Jacob Liddle guy deserves something when he has never played to a standard that demands selection.

Farah demanded selection from his debut game!

Can you stick to the topic?

No one ever said Liddle cant play, we are talking about Liddle deserving a first grade spot over Farah. For some so that Farah doesnt play his 300th yeah.
 
@The_Patriot You could say Liddle can’t play, or you could just say this..

“Not to mention the ridiculous idea that this Jacob Liddle guy deserves something when he has never played to a standard that demands selection.”

Re-signing a guy who doesn't deserve selection is relevant to the discussion I think...

Farah plays while he is here IMO

Then why are you even commenting?

Liddle has not done enough to replace Farah. You just said so yourself.

No GnR i am actually a big fan of the guy. Been one of his supporters since the start.

But that doesnt mean he replaces Farah, Farah is and will always be a better player.
 
And it’s not about deserving it for the sake of it. At this stage, he’s our number one hooked for 2020. For some crazy reason, it seems to make sense that he gets a shot towards the end of the year to see if he’s up to it. What are we going to lose. What benefit is it playing a guy who won’t be here in 2020 over a player who will?

You cut his legs off every chance you get.

The young guy from Manly Manase Fainu, he has been brilliant every chance he has got behind his clubs number 1 hooker. Liddle while he has showed brilliance has also been heavily injured and cracked under pressure .

Just calling it from what i have seen. Others however are looking for a reason to dump Farah.

This is the difference.

Its hardly about Liddle this is about the hatred for Farah.

No amount of posting will tell me otherwise. Ive read the posts for a few years now. Same people same opinions. You cant just turn around declare Liddle ready because you dislike Farah reaching a milestone like he has.
 
This^ is so pointless, Robbie is certain to play 300 & deserves it, Liddle will be our number #1 and is just as capable, however the idea of them not being able to share it and also Robbie being able to successfully continue mentoring him whilst not on field are the real problems . People have brought up many unnecessary truths on both sides of the coin. Patriot is dead right though!
