[Lee's fedora]

[getagrip]

Clean out of rats is a good way to fix the club internally and breed a strong culture

@Aubanon what’s the latest on Jordan Hill?

 

[Needaname]

Question re Hodgson.
How does he go controlling the ruck? Is he a good wrestler? As much as I like Liddle the reality is the key player on any football team is the player that touches the ball the most. Effectiveness from Dummy half is extremely important and on the other side. Line speed, kick pressure etc usually come from the little quicker guys in the middle.
Hodgson scraps for every inch in the game.
Anyway there’s no guarantees this means it’s a straight out swap for Liddle, 3 hookers are pretty important in a top squad. Roosters had 4 Storm had 4.

If we r getting poms

Sam Burgess anyone?

Have you watched SAS?

He won... but yeah, he said it himself;
"My shoulder is cooked."

Won't play again it seems.

Never held us back in the past, why start now

It isn’t. It’s why we look like signing a 32 year old with no knees.

I wonder if Hodgsons ridiculous signing had anything to do with Hartigan going?

 

[Lee's fedora]

Hodgson is a good team manager he controls the ruck and controls the speed of the game the thing that hampered him this year was the knee and the falling out with Ricky simple as that he can change a game with his kicks from dummy half taking pressure off our halves and can play lock for peach when he goes off and bring on another hooker in place of that if needed

He hasn't signed yet?

 

[loklok]

Raiders chipping in for hodgson 1st yr ?

 

[Lee's fedora]

Raiders will be chipping in something around 300-350 for Hodgson

I've heard zero from the club about Hodgson being chased. So what that says to me is that when he stays a Raider or moves to Gold Coast, it will be yet another baseless story about how Wests Tigers botched the signing.

When Journo's start interviewing and quoting other journo's as if it's fact, it's time for the funny farm.

It is the other side of the story that gets too me. Liddle is a very fine player and a loyal WT. I believe he is a captain in waiting at WTs. He is articulate and presents well. He has made an amazing recovery from a very serious knee injury. Injuries of this type take a long time to overcome. I know this as my brother in law was a physio at two former first grade clubs. These posts which want to move him on are in very poor form.

I like and respect Liddle. For tigers to be top eight we need above average players. Is he in the top 4-8 hookers? I personally think he’s reached his ceiling hence the whole not in the future plans talk.

Josh Hodgson hasn't been in the top 4-8 hookers for the past two years, and sure as hell isn't going to be in two years' time.

Josh Hodgson is an international hooker. Are you kidding me?

Here are some other international players, all coincidentally around the same age as Hodgson: James Tamou. Russell Packer. Aaron Woods. Brad Takairangi. Elijah Taylor. Dean Whare. Will Chambers. Josh McGuire. Matt Gillett. Josh Dugan. Gerard Beale. Andrew Fifita. Mahe Fonua. Konrad Hurrell. Ben Murdoch-Masila.

How many of those would you put in the top 4-8 in their position as of October 2021?

So a guy turns 31 and he is no good anymore is what you are saying? Nice way to generalise you goose.

There hasn’t been much at all leaking from the club since the review hopefully they found the culprit and got rid of him

They did!

Who?

First off, he’ll be 32. Second 2 ACL’s in 3 years can pretty much end you. Especially north of 30.

Why is it ridiculous. He's much better than what we have and provides the leadership and game management that Brooks has proven to be completely incapable of
