Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

Re the signing of Reynolds, Brown, and others.. Penrith has shown the way, and that is the blueprint we should follow.
We must look and plan for the future, and not buy players in their twilight years, we have been burnt badly in the past.
Do the Storm, Easts, Penrith etc buy players at their career ends ? Anxiety causes bad decicions, success takes time.
We must learn from the errors of the past.


In my mind we are already doing just that. We have learnt and the guys in charge of recruitment have done a fair job.

Yes it's like investing in shares and property, you buy at the bottom of the market, not at the top, otherwise you have only one way to go, and thats down! As the song goes,--YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW WHEN TO HOLD THEM, AND KNOW WHEN TO THROW THEM !

very smart the club never rushed Signing Liddle they knew what they had in Jake Simpkin use the Liddle money to try and go towards buying a centre along with Joey L money

I think they should still sign Liddle for 2022. He's a great back up option if Jake gets injured

I think Liddle is still a good player and deserves a crack at first grade at nrl he is better than a backup he is just not as good as Jake Simpkin

No doubt a quality player like Liddle will be snapped up by another club and come back to bite us.

he is not better than simpkin though so happy to lose him can't keep everyone

I hope Simpkin is better than Liddle.
But I can't say that he is based on 1 game.
If you're looking at Reserve grade games he didn't produce anything close to Liddle's performance last week.
At the moment Simpkin is still just a hype train that hasn't proven himself.

ok Dwight a Liddle 49 first grade game fan versus 1 game for Simpkin.
Luckily Madge does not agree with your assessment
Bar injury Liddle wont replace Simpkin this year

Simpkin may be replaced by Liddle at some point this year, and not just through injury, very definitely.

Just because Madge picked Simpkin last week over Luddle, that doesn't mean he thinks Simpkin is better than Liddle. It means last week (and this week), Madge thinks Simpkin can do the job better than Liddle in the game at hand. Maybe vs Dragons in a few weeks Madge wants a different plan and picks Liddle?

simpkin is signed and at present Liddle is not. if we dont move Mmbye on I can't see Madge resigning Liddle

Then they will still be looking to sign another specialist hooker for 2022 as just 1 specialist will not cut it

Mbye becomes the specialist 9

But he's not a specialist 9 and just saying so won't make it so...


M'Bye is not and probably never will be a capable hooker

then we have to buy someone else then as don't think we will keep Liddle he doesn't deserve to sit behind Simpkin if we have Mmbye we may aswell use him

Maybe letting Walters go without this (backup hooker) being sorted is somewhat unwise. Mbye is making, and has done, all the right signals and moves he is ready to go, but like everything he has to actually have a taker but it seems more than likely he will be gone at end of season. lf we also let Walters go with his contract expiring at ed of this season without trying to keep him or early identification and/or signing of this backup hooker we may be deep doo doo in 2022.

Who are some of these back ups? Jeremy Marshall-King from Dogs? Who else is out there without contract for next year and what team are they with?

agree maybe moving on walters is not a good idea, if we could move Mmbye on perhaps we keep walters (if his dad does not want him) and turn him into a 9
If Liddle does get signed by another club do you look at segayaro on the cheap

Really hate the fact if a player gets demoted and that automatically assumes they will move elsewhere. What ever happened to earning your spot and trying harder?

Liddle is on decent money and should knuckle down and work on his flaws. Hel be playing this year no doubt. Simpkins is too young to play 3/4 of a season in the NRL without picking up some niggling injuries.

On another note Id give Brooks to the end of the year. If he doesnt improve move him to 14 or out. Hastings and Douhie should be given first crack next year if we dont improve.

 

[JC99]

Whose to say Liddle can’t develop into a lock ala Connor Watson?

Sounds like that's what we got Hastings for though


Based on what? Forum speculation. No one knows where Hastings will play. Madge night not even know

It's more than forum speculation, Michael Chammas broke the story saying it I believe. Doesn't mean he won't push for the 7 jersey though

You’re so transparent. Just like Noffa last year, you want Liddle gone at all costs.

you are so transparent too with your opinions just because I don't agree with them doesn't mean they are wrong mate.
Good luck to you you want to keep Liddle, gold star for you

Cos you base your opinions on zero logic. You had your mind made up Simpkin would be lost to the Roosters because his girlfriend is on some reality show that has connections to Nick Politis.

Really? I actually prefer Simpkin over Liddle going forward. So much for that.

There’s nothing wrong with thinking he might go to the Roosters, as long as there is a speck of logic. Thinking he’ll go there cos the Roosters think he can play is one thing. Thinking he’d go there cos of his gf being on a tv show is illogical and makes you sound like a crazy casual fb supporter.

And a squad goes beyond the starting 17. Another hooker is needed. But when that is mentioned to you, you turn into Liddle’s manager, presuming you know what’s good for him.

Do the Storm, Easts, Penrith etc buy players at their career ends ? Anxiety causes bad decicions, success takes time.
We must learn from the errors of the past.


In my mind we are already doing just that. We have learnt and the guys in charge of recruitment have done a fair job.

Yes it's like investing in shares and property, you buy at the bottom of the market, not at the top, otherwise you have only one way to go, and thats down! As the song goes,--YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW WHEN TO HOLD THEM, AND KNOW WHEN TO THROW THEM !

very smart the club never rushed Signing Liddle they knew what they had in Jake Simpkin use the Liddle money to try and go towards buying a centre along with Joey L money

I think they should still sign Liddle for 2022. He's a great back up option if Jake gets injured

I think Liddle is still a good player and deserves a crack at first grade at nrl he is better than a backup he is just not as good as Jake Simpkin

No doubt a quality player like Liddle will be snapped up by another club and come back to bite us.

he is not better than simpkin though so happy to lose him can't keep everyone

I hope Simpkin is better than Liddle.
But I can't say that he is based on 1 game.
If you're looking at Reserve grade games he didn't produce anything close to Liddle's performance last week.
At the moment Simpkin is still just a hype train that hasn't proven himself.

ok Dwight a Liddle 49 first grade game fan versus 1 game for Simpkin.
Luckily Madge does not agree with your assessment
Bar injury Liddle wont replace Simpkin this year

Simpkin may be replaced by Liddle at some point this year, and not just through injury, very definitely.

Just because Madge picked Simpkin last week over Luddle, that doesn't mean he thinks Simpkin is better than Liddle. It means last week (and this week), Madge thinks Simpkin can do the job better than Liddle in the game at hand. Maybe vs Dragons in a few weeks Madge wants a different plan and picks Liddle?

simpkin is signed and at present Liddle is not. if we dont move Mmbye on I can't see Madge resigning Liddle

Then they will still be looking to sign another specialist hooker for 2022 as just 1 specialist will not cut it

Mbye becomes the specialist 9

But he's not a specialist 9 and just saying so won't make it so...


M'Bye is not and probably never will be a capable hooker

then we have to buy someone else then as don't think we will keep Liddle he doesn't deserve to sit behind Simpkin if we have Mmbye we may aswell use him


You’re so transparent. Just like Noffa last year, you want Liddle gone at all costs.

you are so transparent too with your opinions just because I don't agree with them doesn't mean they are wrong mate.
Good luck to you you want to keep Liddle, gold star for you


Cos you base your opinions on zero logic. You had your mind made up Simpkin would be lost to the Roosters because his girlfriend is on some reality show that has connections to Nick Politis.

who are you to say zero logic ??? you are so rude champ honestly.
I did think that Roosters may have a crack at Simpkin yes so what is that a crime.
you are a Liddle fanboy stick with that

Really? I actually prefer Simpkin over Liddle going forward. So much for that.

There’s nothing wrong with thinking he might go to the Roosters, as long as there is a speck of logic. Thinking he’ll go there cos the Roosters think he can play is one thing. Thinking he’d go there cos of his gf being on a tv show is illogical and makes you sound like a crazy casual fb supporter.

And a squad goes beyond the starting 17. Another hooker is needed. But when that is mentioned to you, you turn into Liddle’s manager, presuming you know what’s good for him.

So you think Liddle should stay behind Simpkin ? the guy is a solid 9 just that Simpkin is better, Liddle deserves to be a starting 9 at another club and earn good coin. I don't think we should stand in his way if dogs or another side offers him some good coin and a starting 9. For depth if he stays great don't think he will
if I was his manager I would shop him to other clubs for sure given his injuries
Fair call on the gf stuff that was a bit of a long bow to draw I agree there

[iofthetigers]

so if we dont move Mmbye and we have Hastings then Mmbye plays the year in Canterbury Cup?
If we have to pay Mmbye his salary then try and manufacture him into a 9
Who cares how much he is getting paid, the team should be picked on form, what are you manufacturing him for he’ll be off contract at the end of next year & gone

Heard last year they were keen on Liddle via sponsors that I know, I do think they are waiting for Brandon Smith to decide what he is doing, he will end up staying at storm so think they will renew focus as Liddle for the 9

There is a lot of tea reading on here at present Re Simpkin, i reserve my judgment until after 10 games then a better assessment can be made he is under contract anyway for the short term .
I would expect some interest in Liddle from other clubs he would have to be offered a starting 9 other wise staying at the Tigers could be an option ..the speed of the game at present could open up another avenue for him , he is big enough to play a ballplaying lock . This aspect can not be ruled out as the game has changed and the positions of old do not seem as relevant ,i suppose this is where the smart operators come to the fore .

We must look and plan for the future, and not buy players in their twilight years, we have been burnt badly in the past.
Do the Storm, Easts, Penrith etc buy players at their career ends ? Anxiety causes bad decicions, success takes time.
We must learn from the errors of the past.


In my mind we are already doing just that. We have learnt and the guys in charge of recruitment have done a fair job.

Yes it's like investing in shares and property, you buy at the bottom of the market, not at the top, otherwise you have only one way to go, and thats down! As the song goes,--YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW WHEN TO HOLD THEM, AND KNOW WHEN TO THROW THEM !

very smart the club never rushed Signing Liddle they knew what they had in Jake Simpkin use the Liddle money to try and go towards buying a centre along with Joey L money

I think they should still sign Liddle for 2022. He's a great back up option if Jake gets injured

I think Liddle is still a good player and deserves a crack at first grade at nrl he is better than a backup he is just not as good as Jake Simpkin

No doubt a quality player like Liddle will be snapped up by another club and come back to bite us.

he is not better than simpkin though so happy to lose him can't keep everyone

I hope Simpkin is better than Liddle.
But I can't say that he is based on 1 game.
If you're looking at Reserve grade games he didn't produce anything close to Liddle's performance last week.
At the moment Simpkin is still just a hype train that hasn't proven himself.

ok Dwight a Liddle 49 first grade game fan versus 1 game for Simpkin.
Luckily Madge does not agree with your assessment
Bar injury Liddle wont replace Simpkin this year

Simpkin may be replaced by Liddle at some point this year, and not just through injury, very definitely.

Just because Madge picked Simpkin last week over Luddle, that doesn't mean he thinks Simpkin is better than Liddle. It means last week (and this week), Madge thinks Simpkin can do the job better than Liddle in the game at hand. Maybe vs Dragons in a few weeks Madge wants a different plan and picks Liddle?

simpkin is signed and at present Liddle is not. if we dont move Mmbye on I can't see Madge resigning Liddle

Then they will still be looking to sign another specialist hooker for 2022 as just 1 specialist will not cut it

Mbye becomes the specialist 9

But he's not a specialist 9 and just saying so won't make it so...


M'Bye is not and probably never will be a capable hooker

then we have to buy someone else then as don't think we will keep Liddle he doesn't deserve to sit behind Simpkin if we have Mmbye we may aswell use him

Maybe letting Walters go without this (backup hooker) being sorted is somewhat unwise. Mbye is making, and has done, all the right signals and moves he is ready to go, but like everything he has to actually have a taker but it seems more than likely he will be gone at end of season. lf we also let Walters go with his contract expiring at ed of this season without trying to keep him or early identification and/or signing of this backup hooker we may be deep doo doo in 2022.

Who are some of these back ups? Jeremy Marshall-King from Dogs? Who else is out there without contract for next year and what team are they with?

agree maybe moving on walters is not a good idea, if we could move Mmbye on perhaps we keep walters (if his dad does not want him) and turn him into a 9
If Liddle does get signed by another club do you look at segayaro on the cheap

Really hate the fact if a player gets demoted and that automatically assumes they will move elsewhere. What ever happened to earning your spot and trying harder?

Liddle is on decent money and should knuckle down and work on his flaws. Hel be playing this year no doubt. Simpkins is too young to play 3/4 of a season in the NRL without picking up some niggling injuries.

On another note Id give Brooks to the end of the year. If he doesnt improve move him to 14 or out. Hastings and Douhie should be given first crack next year if we dont improve.

Brooks is playing well.

But you want to replace him if we don't improve.

Are you holding Brooks to account for the team's performance? You used the word we.

You’re so transparent. Just like Noffa last year, you want Liddle gone at all costs.

you are so transparent too with your opinions just because I don't agree with them doesn't mean they are wrong mate.
Good luck to you you want to keep Liddle, gold star for you


Cos you base your opinions on zero logic. You had your mind made up Simpkin would be lost to the Roosters because his girlfriend is on some reality show that has connections to Nick Politis.

who are you to say zero logic ??? you are so rude champ honestly.
I did think that Roosters may have a crack at Simpkin yes so what is that a crime.
you are a Liddle fanboy stick with that

Really? I actually prefer Simpkin over Liddle going forward. So much for that.

There’s nothing wrong with thinking he might go to the Roosters, as long as there is a speck of logic. Thinking he’ll go there cos the Roosters think he can play is one thing. Thinking he’d go there cos of his gf being on a tv show is illogical and makes you sound like a crazy casual fb supporter.

And a squad goes beyond the starting 17. Another hooker is needed. But when that is mentioned to you, you turn into Liddle’s manager, presuming you know what’s good for him.

So you think Liddle should stay behind Simpkin ? the guy is a solid 9 just that Simpkin is better, Liddle deserves to be a starting 9 at another club and earn good coin. I don't think we should stand in his way if dogs or another side offers him some good coin and a starting 9. For depth if he stays great don't think he will
if I was his manager I would shop him to other clubs for sure given his injuries
Fair call on the gf stuff that was a bit of a long bow to draw I agree there


If he doesn’t want to stay and fight for a starting spot, that’s his prerogative, but the club isn’t doing it’s job if they aren’t offering him a contract for 2022.

we can offer but don't think we can compete with Dogs


Barrett wants him?

Heard last year they were keen on Liddle via sponsors that I know, I do think they are waiting for Brandon Smith to decide what he is doing, he will end up staying at storm so think they will renew focus as Liddle for the 9

If Brandon Smith ever signed with the Dogs then our recruiters need to be sacked. The dogs are bog average club, full of in-house fighting and a no more desirable club than us. If they can attract players then we need people who can convince these type players to sign with us.

No one blames Luke for losing games but the problem is he is unable to create opportunities in the oppositions 20 that's as simple as it is ...a No7 with over 150 games experience should well and truly be able to be creative in that position on the field.
Opposition teams have no problem with nullifying him in the 20 ..unfortunately this has to be rectified if that means replacing him so be it !
