Mate having a snack with a mate.
Gildart wouldn’t know hardly anyone here.
Doubt Gildart has any pulling player to make the Bulldogs allow Thompson to join us.
You never know
I reckon at this stage it could just be mates catching up but if we do manage to sign Hodgson and with Gildart already here it could become a factor for him there are no pommies in the Bulldogs team besides Thompson as far as I know but if we do get Hodgson we all know it pushes more Liddle out rather than Simpkin as he’s the clubs next long term Hooker he’s just not there yet but he’s getting there so we’ll see what happens but I would offer Liddle for Thompson easily as the Dogs do need a Hooker
The club would be ill advised to trade either of our hookers for a busted 32 year old with no knees
Either way the club sees Simpkin as its next long term Hooker even if they don’t get Hodgson and keep Liddle until his contract is up I doubt he’ll be kept unless he’s happy with just being depth either way Liddle will be gone eventually the question is just when
Liddle and Simpkin were on par in 2021. Anything can happen in 2 years.
No they weren't. Liddle was streets ahead of Simpkin.
I'm continually confused by how people think this. Is it because he made some good runs and grabbed some tries?
I want my dummy half providing good service to his team mates first and foremost and Liddle was terrible in that regard. Struggled defensively also
I agree that Simpkin and Liddle were about on par this season but if you choose to invest in one the obvious choice is Simpkin. Happy to keep both and see how they go, Hodgson would be good for them
