Tyga put your glasses on Why would liddle be back starting as dummy half if he had been playing poor

Liddle was demoted to NSW cup for a reason. Hopefully the spell brings out his best looked like a superstar 3 years ago.

Seems to have worked for BJ,his game improved last week again...What people are failing to see is that Madge is trying to work out who is best in what positions while bringing the young guys into NRL...dropping some of the players may not be a punishment but a chance to showcase other players.Maddens debut is brilliant on a weekend that is special for rugby league....
Once again I will say that many on here praised Madge and Hartigan for their recruiting and getting talented youth to our club in the preseason,we hit some hurdles early on this season but Madge is trying to work out who/ whats best for team and club...gee I hope they win this weekend....

No doubt this will have the resident Jacob Liddle fanboys scrambling for the thumbs down button, but it’s time to give him the flick.
Our win percentage with him in the side is even worse than Brooks.

Great point. Let's sack every player due to our winning percentage.

I'm down with that
 
Need to keep both Liddle and Simpkin in the team. Teams target Liddle when he gets tired. They can get quick PTBs when they run at him. Simpkin looked very good in his short spell. He deserves an extended run in first grade.
 
They're very different players.
Liddle looked exhausted towards around when Simpkin came on.

Simpkin came on and added a whole new energy.
He was great. He should be kept on the bench and used for the next 3 games...

Liddle can't handle 80 and Mbye doesn't offer us anything and is gone next year. We probably need him at 1 for the remainder of the year also.

Very impressed with Jake tonight.

I thought he was very good too. Very slick and as you said, brought a lot of energy.

Yeah, showed a lot tonight.
Locked in the 14 for mine.

His sudden injection of speed had a huge impact on our attack which was starting to shut down and turn into a shambolic mess.

A1, would cheer on again.
 
thought he came on 10 minutes to late liddle was way to gassed but put in a real good performance.

Passes very flat which is concerning
 
I genuinely think we may have lost if he wasn’t on the bench tonight. Lids looked shot, Jake brought a new energy to the team. Needs to play the rest of the year
 
I think Madge needs to somehow have 2 interchanges at the same time to help with the quickness of Simpkin

I would probably say A change 5 minutes before - possibly Tuilagi, then 5-10 after Simpkin.

Have Simpkin doing them quick meters with Tuilagi smashing on the side of him would be lethal..
 
Liddle is gassed by the 30min mark and off his feet by 50 and becomes a liability. I’d have Simpkin come in at the 30 and play the last 10 before half time and following 20. Then Liddle back on for the final 20.

As Simpkins stamina picks up he could potentially shift to lock for some extra minutes.
 
Agree, he really injected energy and ran some useful metres. Canberra have pretty much the same strategy of bringing in a darting hooker Wren the forwards are tired.
