Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

[Eagle 1]

Agree. I’m pretty sure he will play this week be interesting who makes way for him.

..Gordie

 

[Eagle 1]

Gee it would have been good to get API back since his wasting his time and talent at the Tigers.

His wallets not wasting tho..

Well that's the only positive he can look at. He won't be playing finals football ever again at the Tigers.

He does so much tackling and running from dummy half, he'll need an extended bteak come September.

A extended break come Sept is part of the fine print when you sign with the tigers.

GCKT played a lot more minutes last week,hopefully that’s an indication for this week

Doubt it'll be both. My guess Simpkin on bench for GCKT. Lawton still starting. I'd prefer to see Simpkin start.

Probably will in the coming weeks - just learning the structures (or lack thereof) depending on which camp you sit

Simpkin starting and Lawton on the bench is my preference.

Yep definitely he is more versatile.

He has not been selected in the 17.

If it happens, assume it's for Gordon

Well, Gordie is a hooker, but it's definitely an upgrade on what Gordie's been serving up.

After being initially underwhelmed, I've actually warmed to this now.

Specialist 9. Junior rep player. Was in the QLD comp as a youth. Is still young. Could be zippy (his hero is Cookie). Tigers lower grades aren't that bad are they? So that losing culture / mentality may not have completely claimed him yet.

Please oh-lord let this be a Matt Ballin-esque acquisition. Others have said it in this thread, we've been crying out for a proper 9. Well here we go.

Something exciting to actually watch and hope for.

Edit: does anyone remember how Wayne Bennett told Matt Ballin he'd likely not be a first grader ? Hahaha. Even the best fark up.
