Oliver Gildart spotted in Cronulla with bulldog Luke Thompson for a catch up and a feed of fish and chips maybe WT'S are still a chance of signing Thompson??????
Thompson is vaxxed now as well, but I think it is just 3 poms catching up.
Maybe but if we have managed to sign Hodgson I won’t be surprised if we do make an attempt Liddle is on the outer as we all know Simpkin is the clubs next long term Hooker and Bulldogs do need a Hooker so maybe just maybe we might try and work something out or as you said it could just be pommies catching up
Has the “Liddell trying to undermine Madge”, got any legs?
I thought Madge has done a lot for him, when maybe other wouldn’t have.
Liddle would have to be idiot if he doesn’t see the writing is on the wall.
We have Simpkin and Tannous plying their trade in the lower grade’s plus the whispers for Hodgson are getting louder.
If it’s true that his undermining Madge he hasn’t got a leg to stand on, this year was his time to shine and own that number 9 jumper and he blew it.
Give Canberra Liddle to sweeten the deal in our favour and get it done. Hodgson would not only be a benefit to WTs but a big benefit more so to Simpkin and Tannous.
How did he blow it? He made 10 line breaks. And again IF it’s true, so you don’t know that is true, but give fuel to a rumour that slander’s him as a destabilising influence anyway. Poor form.
What would you call it Gunner if the WestsTigers are trying to buy a more experience hooker. If the WTs had faith in Liddle as their main stay hooker why are we even contemplating signing Hodgson. I don’t know about you but I would call that a missed opportunity by Liddle.
And I guess if all it takes is 10 line breaks at dummy halve and your content with the basic mistakes Liddle constantly makes at hooker at crucial periods of a game, well, your obviously happy with mediocre dummy halve.
And as for adding fuel to the fire I say pot met kettle.
Why did they re-sign a mediocre hooker for 2 years?
Tim sheen’s and crew are probably asking the same thing.
Or maybe not.
Hypothetically, where do you think it will leave Liddle, if let’s say we do sign Josh for 2 years and we have 2 promising Hookers in Simpkin and Tannous.
Would you say as a business you would put your time and effort into Simpkin and Tannous or Liddle?
Tannous is a halfback isn’t he, why is he in the conversation? I don’t mind running with all 3 of Hodgson, Liddle and Simpkin. Simpkin could still ply his trade in KOE for a year. It would be ridiculous to get rid of Liddle, cos if Hodgson goes down, Simpkin is left like a shag on a rock.
I think you’ll find his plays both position over his young career.
He’s miles behind Liddle as a first grade hooker.
