Who was in charge of our cap when Sheens was coaching?
I thought it was him, and saw how well that ended.

This kid is 17, and has a similar reputation to what liddle had at the same age.
He'd likely be a year or two away from first grade coming to us as a development player. We still need a first choice hooker for next season and liddle could be it. If he kicks on then this kid goes somewhere else

We need two hookers first and foremost. With Farah likely to retire, I'd be keeping Liddle. I like the look of this new kid, he's strong, has great leg drive and looks good on his feet. He's 17 though and won't be ready for FG just yet - he's a couple of years away at least and needs to adapt to fulltime training. Unless we have an established 9 from another club to announce, we'd be mad not to re-sign Liddle.

This might sound left field, but wouldn't mind giving the kid a go at 13, at some stage down the line. Feel like he suits the new meta of locks nowadays. Similar to Robson in a way but with still a bit of growing in him being only 17yrs of age.

Yep ..Junior development ticks another box..Well done Wests Tigers... Welcome Jake..
Good Luck kid..
Farah's replacement is a bit of a stretch..makes a good headline though...Under the Donkey's guard is always a good thing..they don't lose too many

He is a Toowoomba boy ( St Mary's) but his little half back mate also from Toowoomba is getting massive wraps ....
Think he trained against SOO squad last year from memory and everyone's mind was blown ....
Try and see if I can find his name ......did mention him when Deardens name first came up

Donkeys are hardly a powerhouse these days. Seibold getting found out too, premiership winning coach chasing your signature.
Hopefully the boy has made a smart move and it pays off for both him and the club.

Hope this Jake kid turns out to be a rippa. At 17/18 yo he has a fair way to go before he'll make first grade.
As everyone here is saying, we can't rely on Liddle alone next season.
I think Farah will play on next year. If Reynolds is moved on then I'd be willing to bet big bucks on it.
Remember he'd be cheaper than any other experienced hooker.
We are already seeing Liddle getting more game time and I expect that to continue this year.
I think Farah will be used in rotation with Liddle in 2020, with Liddle being the main hooker.
Assuming Reynolds stays, then I think he might have to play hooker with Liddle.

Bradley, Talau, Madden, Cini... now Simpkin. No guarantee that these signings all work out, but obviously the recruitment folks are targeting the top-tier of next-generation talent and you can't fault them for that.
Particularly sweet to take a bloke out of the Broncos development path, seeing as Broncos just snack on all QLD pathways anyway, despite allegiances to other clubs (e.g. Keebra). Double particular sweet because McCullough does not have infinite time and is not a top-flight hooker, and you've basically poached their emerging replacement proposition for your own needs.
In saying that I know nothing else about this kid and never heard of him before, so in Tigers we trust.
