Good team. The big issue that I have when picking a team is that Liddle can't get us anywhere near 80 quality minutes. Who is going to replace him ? How do we manage the poor service/missed tackles when Liddle is gassed ?

I'd love that bench though.

I agree but I’d prefer Simpkin to start the season in reserves to get game time and miles in the legs. What other hooker options do we have?

Simpkin should be 14 imo.

Peachey at a pinch. Hastings can shift in and Peach to 5/8th. Madden on the bench with Hastings to shift in.

I'm not a fan of those options, but they are options nonetheless.

Yeah, I’d go with this.

First 1-5 rounds batter the opposition up and bruise them.

Then bring in Simpkin off the bench.

I think Simpkin will be out number 1 9 by the end of the year however I think he benefits more from 80 in reserve grade than 20 in firsts

I think we need someone who can play a little dummy half to give Liddle a rest but can’t think of anyone at the moment

 

[Demps]

Peachy can play some 9 if needed but ideally yeah Simpkin is the #14

That's just the round 1 team, changes to come when AD and Talau return unless AJ and Oli G are killing it.

2023 we should have a more balanced roster.

Simpkin needs to get game ready in 2022, in #Cup and FG when appropriate.

Will be an interesting year (2022)
Low expectations though.

I'd prefer Simpkin in reserves until he shows he is ready for first grade. He has to get rid of the hog play, improve his defense and increase the minutes he can play.

I don't see how we have any other option though than playing both of them in the team. Liddle to start and Simpkin to give him a rest. I'd prefer we go out and buy a quality hooker.

I’m with you. Our lack of depth in the hooking role needs to be addressed

This side has plenty of potential but probably more question marks.

I think 1-2 new names will be added to the top 17 prior to kickoff.

I’m with you. Our lack of depth in the hooking role needs to be addressed

from the team it is evident Liddle can't go 80 mins hence we looked for a quality 9 to start such as Hodgo and liddle on the bench
Simpkin punching out 80 mins in reserves and halfway through the year he takes over from Liddle

I'd say this is probably on the money baring some crazy late Jan signings.

Just don't see who gets the C.

Hopefully they have learnt from Moses and the Penrith reject that you can't just buy in an appoint, so Hastings is out.

Brooks or Nofa...Gross.

 

[tiger_scott]

I think Liddle will get 80 out next season. He'll be working hard on his cardio. He was rehabbing last time. I think (hope, maybe) that he and the rest of the team will surprise. If we can't be optimists in the offseason, when can we be?

Doehi captain, when he returns. Liddle or Twal until he does.

I want Hastings to be a weapon. Hopefully he will be. You can't make him captain though. He has to earn it if he gets it.

I'd love this to happen but I think you have to assume Liddle can't go 80 and we need another option. It's also unfair on Liddle because at this point he isn't that player.
