Simpkin doesn’t look like a threat with the ball.

Liddle may not have been great but Simpkin was way out of his depth.
Its just, Liddle lacks in the main fundamental of a hooker, passing. Its atrocious. So the frustration over the season builds up, otherwise I don't see much of an issue in his game, but this one issue, is pretty damning.
Didn’t Luciano Leilua got into a push and shove with Liddle last offseason because of his service from dummy half?
Correct, seemingly it was justified
And there were games that Liddle’s service from dummy half was horrible he can run but his passing is average while Simpkin at this stage can pass the ball better but not as effective at running yet but honestly if I had to pick one of them two I’m going with Simpkin
Liddle has no kicking game either which is really important from 9 these days
Neither does Simpkin and he is a pathetic defender and a ball hog.

So was Farah once. Some players at that age have it. Some don’t, and that’s fine if he needs time, but he’s showed nothing so far to warrant going all in on him and abandoning Liddle.

You realise he was scoring a try a game at once point in NSW cup, right? Was even the comps leading try scorer for the first month or two. All that when he's still eligible for Flegg for both 2021+22.

Every try I’ve seen him score has been a barge over from dummy half. Look. I’m not writing him off, he very well could develop into something great, I look forward to seeing him develop. But as I said in my last post, he hasn’t burst into first grade and reeked havoc. He’s shown himself to be very meat and potatoes so far. Nothing worth throwing the towel in on Liddle. If it were up to me, I’d have all 3 on the books. Because if we get Hodgson and punt Liddle, and Hodgson goes down, then what? It’s all on Simpkin, and that wouldn’t be good for him.

Got to remember that Farah's greatest strength was his running game. He used to score a lot of barge over tries.
Simpkin also had many try assists alongside his tries. Throws a great cutout ball close to the line.
The only difference Farah had to Simpkin as a junior is the kicking game.

all contracts public
hard cap on TPAs (eg $2m)
better system of cap relief for juniors/veterans
With regards to the above suggestions. I massively agree with better system of rewarding clubs for developing and retaining players. However, whilst I agree about making contracts public like the US sports the Players Association have said publicly that they'll never allow it as they will claim it breaches privacy, just like capping TPD's will be disputed as restriction of trade
Ok, unlimited TPA but a tax on clubs that exceed a certain amount.
What does what a player can earn individually have to do with the club. You’d only push good players out of the game

The more valuable a player is the higher the points.
I'll say this every time, and it's not a slight against you, but can anyone please show me a professional league of any sport globally that has a centrally-assigned points cap system in place? Can't work, won't work.
It is used in Sydney Rugby Union and also in the VFL
Links please I'd like to read about it
