I would like young blood too but for all the flag waving about Liddle's potential he still can't play 80 minutes so are we better off with Farrah who can play 80 or playing Liddle and losing a bench spot because we have to carry another hooker ? As for 5/8 who else do we have apart from Grub ?
Kind of see what you are saying but they are two separate questions in my view
1. Are Farah and Marshall worth another contract?
2. What players are available to play 6 and 9 for Wests Tigers?
Regarding Q1 - we had 10 games last year to make the finals when Farah rejoined. We won 5 and lost 5. 6 of those matches were against sides that didn't play finals. When asked in his first press-conference post Farah signing last June Ivan stressed "it was only for the rest of the year." What did Farah do in those 10 matches to warrant another contract? Not enough IMO.
Marshall refuses to be tackled or make tackles. He's had enough. You cannot carry a player like that in 2019.
On point 2 - LIddle has shown he is too good for reserve grade IMO. He's had injuries but is fit now and is off contract. We should be playing him at NRL level for the rest of the season. Tyson Gamble is in the same boat. Probably hasnt dominated Reserves but should be eased in off the bench or at left centre in place of Momirovski
