Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JC99]

Here’s a great example of what Harry can do. In this Twitter thread you see him give Brooks good space to attack, get Eiso rolling forward with a perfect pass, run himself and get us in attacking position and then fire two beautiful passes to brooks to set up the try.

The bloke has it all. Let’s not pretend his service isn’t good. The example are all here https://twitter.com/rlwriters/status/1348791654015123462?s=21

Anyway a bit off topic so rant over lol

All of that is from midfield or beyond mate . You are literally proving my point . I am not talking about who is the superior player . I’m talking about getting your forwards onto the ball in situations where they really shouldn’t . And the reason Liddle does this , is he’s a far bigger threat when he scoots out because he’s way faster than Harry.

Liddle service is fast as all get out off the deck and accurate . But Harry is the more complete player . But he has weakness . Most notably his ruck manipulation, in the dirty end . Everybody has weakness mate .
And I think liddles style is better for the current makeup of the team. But I am nervous about his body and weak first contact in defence . But he looks way bigger this year . So we will see .
Liddle equals poor mans Damien Cook . Harry equals poor mans Cam Smith . This is all I’m saying .

Firstly, Harry is far more dangerous running the football, it’s probably the best part of his game so not sure why you think it’s his biggest weakness he ran the ball more than any other hooker in 2020 bar Cook. He makes far more line breaks when running the footy too.

As for service to the big fellas, his service is good as shown, his passes are just as good if he’s standing 30 metres further back there’s really no difference, he has that cam smith pass where it’s right in front of the props almost looks forward. Liddle has good passing for sure but if brooks struggles again it’ll be all for nothing and not sure he can control a game like Harry.

I mean there's no way Liddle is better than Grant. I hope he has a big year but be reasonable

I didn’t say that . I knew some of you would read it that way . I said Grants a better footballer, ball plays , close to the line , and creates . But Grants distribution is general play , was dismal . I’m not talking the fancy stuff . I’m talking tackle 3 ,on our own 20m . And from what I’ve seen if liddle , I notice , that in those situations , he will manipulate the markers , with fades of the body , deception with direction of pass etc. which allows the ball runner to get in behind the markers . Farah did this well, he just went superhero mode when we were in the red zone .And that’s where I think he learnt it.
Grant is a player you build the whole gameplan around . Liddle is better 9 for the system we play . If he stays healthy , I’m very confident you will see what I see .

Dismal? You’re joking right. Nothing about his game is dismal. Harry was masterful as keeping markers guessing too because he’s such a threat with the ball in his hand, and he proved that at the highest level of the game.

I like Liddle and think he’ll go well but yeesh the bias is astounding. Harry Grant was our best player every time he played really. Liddle will give our halves good service but based off brooks last season not sure if that’s good or not to be honest. Hopefully Jacob runs the ball a lot too, it’s essential with the new rules he needs to do the dirty work too

Your bias towards Harry is astounding as well... lol I will go Liddle over Harry... sorry to differ with your opinion. 🙂

It’s not bias it’s fact, he’s played state of origin and carved up at that level, he assists tries he scores tries and he’s a brilliant defender and a dangerous ball runner. It’s right there to watch, Liddle has never ever had a game that comes close to how good Harry is. I like Liddle and I think he’ll be fine for us, but to say he’s better than Harry is pretty crazy and a huge assumption because we just haven’t seen Liddle play that good ever.

Harry Grant is one of the best dummy half’s in the game. Liddle is yet to prove himself as a consistent first grader.

I am sure he will if he stays injury free... you can always see it in him when he is given the time to play.

He may well become a consistent first grader. But in 40+ NRL games I haven't seen anything to suggest he's anywhere near Grant in any way. Harry is an elite player. Liddle may become a solid first grader. Big difference.

Whatever mate , I couldn’t be bothered anymore . I’m trying to be objective , and these are things I watched with a keen eye , last year, and Liddle the previous 2.Especially when the hype train , left the station. If your not even going to admit that Liddles speed out of dummy half is better , than your just lying to yourself now . Liddle is a line break threat every time he gets out . A clean break . I get it . Harry’s was your favourite player . You think he’s the bees knees . I personally don’t . I think he’s above average . And I will wait to reserve judgement , as one thing I know about this game , is how quickly perceptions can change. Like , if Liddle plays to his potential , the general opinion of him around here in 7 months .especially if he signs for say , the dogs . I think Liddle is a gun . Everything I’ve seen of him suggests it . And , he’s our gun . He’s a tigers junior .

I would be more worried about Harrys future,he was carrying his shoulder at the end of last year.Both him and Cheese run with their heads into the defence,this does not make for a long future.Pacing yourself is a key aspect of all sports .WEall loved Harry,but the young bull will have to tone it down.

Liddle is super fast, but right now Harry is a bigger threat running the footy. When did Liddle come to tigers? I know he was at Wyong for a while grew up playing there.

 

[balmain boy]

We need to go hard for staggs. Better than Crichton imo and would have no trouble with playing fb.
Absolute class player, worth a mill

Plus he can kick goals.

His manager is trying to push up the market price,as they all do.Chrichton Ibelieve has more promise,but they will be the 2 biggest targets on the market,I would go as high as $800,000 for Crichton,less for Stagg,but Hartigan knows what we need and at what price .A lot chasing these 2,but another star comes along every 6 mths

With the salary cap reduced by 6% and sitting at 9 million now - assume 30 players = $350k average
We are saying that we are willing to pay $800k
Quite a few clubs with Million $ players on the books and i think with the reduction in the cap we need to only 1 marque player at present its Mybe on $950k.....

You do realise that Mbye's salary has now gone down by 6%, as have all players in the NRL...

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I have a high opinion of Liddle. Not only is he very quick, his pass out of dummy half is excellent. When he is interviewed, I always come away impressed not only with how he speaks but his poise. To me he has the qualities required of a captain. His fightback from severe injury is inspirational.

Yes, but he just has to stay fit. One more major injury could be curtains for this nrl career. Or an injury free season could push him into Origin talks.

Signings suggestions and rumours guys...if you want to have a measuring contest over who our number 9 should be, start a new thread.

 

[sleeve]

Isn't staggs several years older than Crichton? Crichton in his first year of first grade with much to learn and still physically developing...

Stagg played well last year,but what did he do before then?I don't know but he may be injury prone.Every commentator thinks Crichton is the next big thing,Maybe they are wrong.Nothing is a certainty in this game.

I think Cook shades him and Api. But it’s very close. You’ve got to remember grant could barely push out 80 mins. Also his defense definitely wasn’t as effective as those two mentioned.

Anyways, how about them rumours huh

That’s fine but let’s not pretend Liddle is better than him right now. Hoping he gets that good cause I’m a definite fan of his.
