The Problem with the Tigers attack is

[mike]

I agree with this @kiwitiger. Often the attack is too structured with players getting ready for the next play rather than playing what is front of them. Sometimes it’s more what you do off the ball, causing the defence to be in doubt, that opens up the gaps for attack.

I’m neither here nor there on Liddle. But I’d have thought you’d be the last one to throw stones at those who build up unproven first graders, the way you have relentlessly pumped up Gambles tyres for the last 12 months, and taken it as a personal insult anytime someone doesn’t share your opinion of the kid

The only thing relentless is your issue with me.

Im still big on Gamble but i gave up talking him about 10 months ago. Since then its the odd post here or there.

Good try though.

Jacob Liddle age 22…surprised me thought he’d at least be 25-26…

Debuted in 2016

Gee that young..

Damien Cook debuted in 2013..often thought as a bit player until 2017 now the NSW 9 and back up for Cammy..

No reason Liddle cant reach those heights. Starts with playing better than the old man.

Pretty simple.

Has had about as much impact as Robbie in the last 5 years unless you are basing it on media articles.

I made a mistake talking about Robbie Farah, I had forgotten how much crap you cop on these pages when you do.

Move on guys, i have.

 

[Telltails]

If Liddle had developed as quickly as predicted/hoped/expected there wouldnt be any talk at all about Farah or any other hooker. It was there for the taking last season, and still is. He wouldn't have had any better opportunity elsewhere based on what he has delivered so far. No time like the present.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

I think people forget he had serious injuries last year and then lost confidence big time. The talent is there and I believe you’re right - now is the time.

 

[cktiger]

I reckon Liddle will be a good player … but at this moment in time is not better than Farah.
Saying that I also think it won't be too long until Farah will step aside and all his haters can then wait for Liddle to play for NSW and Australia just like Robbie.
Our backline is a bigger mess and, although I see Fonua do some silly things, he breaks tackles and seems to earn at least 3 penalties every game. Think he might be a surprise on a wing.
Five eighth is anybody's guess, they both played poorly.

depends on who that "expert" is :wink:

 

[fergiefurr]

im happy for farah to play if he is there as a ball distributer and kicking option. there should be a rule that he isnt allowed to take anymore then 2 steps out of dummyhalf when in the attacking 20\. good luck enforcing any of those though..

benji should have retired last year, i really think he is going to embarress himself this year

 

[happy_tiger]

Are we talking instant mine fields in the opposition 20 FF

Three steps and KABOOM …...HIA issue :smiley:

 

[colmcd]

What is it with the Tigers.

It's Benji's fault… Oh that our wings are bloody turnstyles!
You cant just leak points on the wing like we do and expect to win.

Yes last season our attack was down. But lets face it we lost Teddy and he would be one of the best in the League. Brooks is doing great at Halfback but I see him a lot like Mitchell Pearce.

Reynolds will be our 5/8\. He will be more supportive of Brooks and it's a good half combination. Benji is a GREAT spare half and that is what people forget.
Benji isn't the star anymore. He is the Daniel Mortimer, the Brett Finch. He is the Half that takes to the field when the regular two are injured and in that role he is awesome.

So give him a break and let him do his work. Let sort our real problems.

 

[bonstonker]

One problem is that close to 1mill is being spent for 2 average 5/8
among other things

 

[Tim Sheens]

With one likely to be running around in ISP most weeks.

 

[Kev]

You dont see people proven 100% wrong very often. Congratulations.

 

[Tigers17]

No one is happier than me when the Tigers win and more than happy to admit when I'm wrong.

But aren't you just a bit premature with your assumption.

 

[Kev]

Possibly, but you definitely were when you stated that he should retire before the season kicked off.
Hopefully Brooks and Liddle are absorbing his experience and knowledge. Someone needs to lead the side around the park when he is gone.

 

[gallagher]

2 tries tonite but him and Benji strangled Brooks. If only we played malny every week.
