Liddle on his best day is Hodgson on his worst I would much rather pass liddle on get Hodgson in mentor simpkin you have robbie farah and Hodgson mentoring a young hooker he could be the next big hooker in the game along with Harry Grant

Are we seriously suggesting that Simpkin is a better option than Liddle?? From what I saw this year Liddle was superior .

Depends on which camp you listen to... definitely seems to be two distinct sides to the debate.

You would hope so at this stage of their careers, as Simpkin is only 19.

Simpkin needs to develop his body and craft for another year or two. Not ready for fulltime first grade yet.

Simpkin is way more dangerous close to the line ,and better passing . Which is weird because the mail with Liddle was his off the ground passing was elite . Don’t know what happened there ,maybe his engine is on the fritz with the speed of the game .

Liddle is better at defending , probably because he’s coming into his man bod . He’s also better at attacking retreating defenders , but he’s also 5 years older .

The fact it’s close , and Simpkin is 5 years younger , should be all there is to say IMO. The big thing , is where is the loyalty at and who wants to stay , now the 17th team is in . Last time we got our roster gutted by the Titans .

In regards to Liddle being a good defender i think people need check some stats.

From foxsports: Manly veteran Dylan Walker is the pick of the bunch after the utility enjoyed a strong back-end to the 2021 season.

The Sea Eagles have tabled a two-year contract extension but The Australian’s Brent Read reported the club’s patience is running thin as his manager shops him around for a better deal.

The Wests Tigers are interested in the 27-year-old Walker and still have $1 million to spend on 2022. The utility played under Tigers coach Michael Maguire at South Sydney and for the right price, a reunion could be on the cards.

You would'nt sign him as a utility, he would be first centre picked.

 

[gallagher]

I'd take Walker

Didn’t really watch him this year. I was thinking a possible plug for our centres?

And depth backup for fullback?

I didn't watch a great deal either but from what i did see he can still move pretty well.

Would assume it'd be for centre. Would be first picked too.

Playing ability aside, the testimony of what he did to his Mrs was abhorrent (despite the charges being dropped). I would be deeply disappointed if the tiges gave him an opportunity.

Yeah seems like a Class A douche however he was massively impressive during the back end of Manly's season and charge into the finals. He's an effort player with skill and really offers a team energy and spark. Is that enough to turn a blind eye to the rest? I tend to feel it isn't however worthy of some consideration.

Mmm, I don't think any level of football ability should make you turn a blind eye to domestic abuse.

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of Dylan walker and what he did was terrible and unforgivable but when you haven’t made the finals for 10 years people will get desperate and take talent over good honest people

 

[Demps]

Walker is better than what we got, for centre.
I'd take him.
Has some upside and some strike.

I’d take him as a utility if we didn’t sign peach. Not as a starting centre. Think we can do better

I'm prepared to admit that I suspect my deeply held principles would come under severe pressure if we were talking about an in-their-prime Sonny Bill or Thurston with some unpleasant personal baggage. But Dylan Walker, recently competent utility after three or four incredibly unimpressive seasons, aka possibly the difference between coming 15th and 12th? Pass, thanks - he can pitch his redemption story on someone else's coin.
