I'd be careful signing Cook. I'm hopeful Liddle comes good.
I'd be careful too, careful to land his signature.

WT have expressed an interest in Damien Cook for 2020 while the Bulldogs have sounded out Jacob Liddle who is off contract at the end of 2019 (Daily Telegraph)
Seriously 05?
The current NSW hooker Vs a bloke who still cant play 80 mins?
Cook is way too risky on top dollar. Great player for the right amount of money.
Good luck trying to sign top tier talent at the "right price" when they would be coming from a top 4 club to one who hasn't made the 8 in ages. We'd have to pay overs and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
Liddle isn't the answer. The guy hasn't shown has can play 80 minutes and it's a lot to ask of him.
Imo we need to sign a someone who has first grade experience and can play 80 minutes.
On last years efforts we don't have the pack to carry two hookers.
Probably the best option at this stage but hopefully Madge pulls his selfishness into line.*cough* Farah *cough*

I don't consider Peats or Cook top tier talent. They aren't marquee players and you can't offer them crazy money.
Spot on Vic.Cook has one asset, speed. He isn’t a ball player, doesn’t give particularly good service and has no kicking game. He is able to utilitise his speed at Souths as they have big forwards and get away with playing the ball off the mark. He won’t get either of those with us. He is also one injury away from losing his one asset and will be 29 by the time he got here.
I would much rather give Liddle a full season in firsts and see how he goes. If he doesn’t work out then look elsewhere.
Keep in mind when Cook was Liddles age he was playing off the bench in nsw Cup on a second tier contract. People are writing Jacob off way too early.
Bit hard on Liddle...Shoulder Reconstruction and sternum injury playing in the middle will destroy any players season. When he did play we at least looked like we could put some attack together. Anyway I am confident if given game time he will prove a lot of people wrong
Good to see we are all in agreement regarding Cook. No point buying Cook unless you have the dominating forwards to go with it. It is like employing Lewis Hamiliton to drive a Lada.
Yea just saw that. Maybe he told Madge we ain't coming to WT so he got droppedCan't see Taupau coming to us now...he'd be pi$$ed at Madge for dropping him from the Kiwi side.
