By the sounds of it we may be grooming him up as Ballin's replacement

He will be easily up to the mark defensively in that area, the other areas will be a wait and see
Gotta disagree KE I think if we can't keep Matt, Bruher will be our 9. I think Liam could play hooker he actually made his Nrl debut for Melbourne at hooker.

I think he could make a good hooker as technically he's got a good pass and can tackle, my only concern playing hooker is what happens to those skills under the additional duress of playing in that position. He might succeed brilliantly at it, but it would be very rare for someone to change positions like that and turn into an 80 minute dummy half specialist.
 
I think Liam is a decent backup, but i do feel he is a little overated around here.

For mine, not a starter, and not someone who should become a fulltime starter for us!

I wonder if everyone would rate him as much if his surname was Smith

He does some good things but if his attack passing was better we would have run away with the game yesterday.

This. Played too close to the line at times, and went the long cut-outs instead of through the hands during some of the raids.

Should have had those key decision making skills in place by now, so I don't expect too much more out of what we're getting, to be honest.
 
I am guessing that they would class Buhrers hole running out wide as a bigger asset. The word on Liam was apparently coming from inside the club if the sources are correct

He is improving, a lot of his play this week was similar to his brother, not as good but similar
 
Ballin cannot be replaced, if manly think Liam foran is a replacement then they have rocks in their heads, Liam's build is way to big, and he's very 1 dimensional, great player with game time could be very solid, I just think that if matty b goes we should be searching for someone else, if we lose Ballin it will be a huge loss !
 
If we were to lose matty b I'd hope we would be ready to bring someone in that has the same impact as what matty does, he's apart of the spine, you lose a vertebrae and the spine has to rebuild or re mould.
 
I stopped reading at "better version of Monaghan" and just assumed you were main lining herion.
 
Skillset versus smarts. Ticker versus endurance. Playmaker versus over-thinker.

We would all like to think Liam will be a permanent fixture in 1st grade but truely....currently he is a half potentially slated for hooker. We wont know how this will pan out till the recruitment finishes and we are in a new season.

He has the heart to be a nine but unsure about the required dummy half consistency.



PS: I feel The Eagle is overly reliant on the derping coinage.

Another Travis Burns type. Solid without being spectacular.

Liam has been around longer then Keiran , but Keiran has played more 1st grade games & cemented a 1st grade spot , something Liam has never been able to do in his career.And saying he is better than Mona`s is just kidding yourself

Sorry Chip That wasnt meant to have been on your quote
Burns was better though..
:p
 
Liam's a decent player but he's a stop gap. He's 10% of Kieran.

We need to hang on to Matt. I can't believe people are suggesting other options would be ok. Stop drinking and posting.

You do realise that if people follow your instructions then it will take a lot of fun and stupidity out of the place.
