SIGN LIDDLE LONG TERM ASAP

[I'm Hornby]

One of the reasons Lomax stated for leaving us was because he didnt want to play wing, he saw himself as a centre.
Round 10 and now he’s a winger at Parra.
One of the reasons Ben Hunt stated he didn’t want to play hooker was because he saw himself as a half at club level and was only happy to play hooker at rep level.
Round 10 he’ll now be a hooker for Broncos.
One of the reasons Liddles manager has stated he may sign elsewhere is because he wants to play longer minutes, ie a starting hooker.
I’ll bet my left nut if he signs elsewhere he will be playing bench utility by Round 10.

What rubbish.

Zac said many times he was happy playing any position, he wasn't happy that his contract talks with us took so long over the pre season. In the end he decided the Eels were a better prospect for his future plans.

Flanagan never once suggested Hunt should play hooker, if you can point me to where he did, please do mate?
Hunt just got sick of being flamed for the inept team performances and being belittled by the coach.

The fact both players took substantial pay cuts to leave this sinking ship should speak volumes, there was a lot more to both than just which position they played in and that's very well recorded in media.

Contract talks? He wasn't even off contract he was signed with us until the end of 2026.

The key lies in the delivery; as the examples above illustrate, the message is ultimately accepted
at different clubs.

I do not enjoy admitting this.

I would rather say that they are all twats. I think I can say that Bunt is the biggest PITA, and Lomax is a little petulant. But Liddle is pretty solid and doesn't strike me as hard work. Anyway, I do hope we keep him.

Who is in charge of talking to these players to try to retain them?
Whoever it is needs to attend an intense influencing workshop, as whatever they're doing isn't working.

It will be all about the $$$$$

Liddle can play 80 mins but at what value compared to his limited minutes impact?

If other coaches/clubs value Liddle higher than an impact player then what do you do?
Everyone, including me. is screaming for Liddle to be re-signed

Everyone is also in agreement his best attribute is his impact over around 60 mins

What "overs" in contract are acceptable for a player of his quality - on the bench?


A very difficult equation
A bloody tough decision

No matter what, coach will be in the wrong
What a job!

He was negotiating an extension to his contract during the 2024 pre season and wasn't happy that the talks were prolonged, go back and do your research buddy.

You always grab every scenario and somehow make up shit to make it Flanno's fault. So much speculation in your above comment. You don't know shit about their negotiations and their thoughts, yet you sing it from the rooftops and try and sell it as gospel. Stop making shit up.
