Lids is our weapon, for sure.
Would he be as effective though if playing 80mins?
We wouldn't know because the coach hasn't given him a chance to show what he can do over the 80 mins.

Just because that doubt exists doesn't mean it's not worth trying, Cook doesn't offer much at all and is/was a silly signing.

Great win today. Listened while driving through Tassie and was concerned at half time and never really confident during the second half, even when up by 10. It was great to get home and then watch the game knowing we won and stuck it to Ben what’s-his-name!
Overall, pleased with the second half effort and them going the distance and not loosing their way as they have in recent years.
I liked having Liddle and Cook on together. Seemed to give us some speed around the ruck i would be happy to see them both on the field like this more often. Cook appeared to play like our 7 but also offered a bit as a running forward.
Our actual no 7 is still very much a work in progress, and together with KFlanno they need to do and give us more. But a win going into a bye is good feeling!

If that were the case, then fair enough...

But it's not the case because Liddle played 80 minutes in 15 games last year, and in many more he played over 65 minutes.

Nobody could be stupid enough not to realise that he is shining so brightly because he's coming on with the sting out of the game and playing fewer minutes than last year, and making fewer tackles, and keeping the freshness in his legs to utilise the speed he has for his running game, could they?

I'm not saying he can't play 80, he showed he could last year. But he's more effective playing fewer minutes and staying fresher. That should be obvious to anybody...

A great effort from the boys. I still think Illias needs to come back into this team, even if it’s just for his defence. LKT is a bit shaky. I think coach got the Cook/Liddle interchange timing just about right for this game.
