There

I said it

simmons has shown me f**k all..........semi solid - but boring - BORING in attack

....fire up the tapes from early last season and watch mez running around donning his favoured #1 jersey...... he's a f**king wizard when given a chance. The poor farger is being starved of the ball like some kind of ethiopian

He offers something that our pizz poor team is missing in noddys absence - creativity

He throws 20 metre bullets and jinks like a rat

Big wraps from Sir Langlands

He broke all sorts of try scoring records through his younger days, and was a junior roo(not that that means shite) .....Whats simmo done?! - played a bit of soccer, played a bit of footy



He's been playing like a busted ass, but give him a f**king crack stuey .....im bored

I have no idea why Simmons is at fullback! He played way better on the wing in attack and defence. Merritt looks like a mini Peachey and has the skills of a full back. Simmons recently hasnt earnt his 1st grade spot and for a youngster he shouldnt be given a 1000 chances when we NEED to win games. Peachey to fullback, Merritt to simmons wing position!

I said it right from the start that FB is Merritts best position. If he had a go there, I reckon he'd go well.

He used to carve up for the Rovers in the Souths Jnr comp, and last year when picked there played well.

Atleast he is speaking his mind. While I don't agree with you at this stage cheese, it is quite refreshing.

Have to agree he hasnt shown too much attacking prowess to make me think he is our next fullback I think he'll play wing for a few more years and then move into the centres.

Totally, absolutely, unoquivically , diobollically -wrong

Doesn't WANT to defend.

Hardest Day under the high ball I have seen and Simmons stood up. Not a day where full backs were going to be great attackers.

Scary Cheese, scary.

But everyones entitled blah, blah, blah

In Merritt, Simmons and Rieck we have 3 of the fastest men in the game. None of them is a great defender. But I reckon Simmons is the least gutless in both defense and attack.

Rieck often makes a good dummy half run from the first tackle after a kick-receive.

Merrit's a pussy - alright in open field but doesn't like to touched.

BUT: I believe all of them have improved this year, and so I'd like Stuey to perservere with them for a bit - maybe make them compete with each other for the wing/fb positions.

bunch of shams

Our outside men are the most underutilised backs in the league ........how can we write them off when they touch the ball no more than twice a game(unless of course its turnstyle riecky). And those touches are usually when they're relieving pressure off our forwards when camped deep in our 50.

Look at vargs ....he's turned from a try scoring machine, to a cat like tackle bag. Our ball distribution is the joke of the league. Bailey and Co are disgracements

Theres plenty of talent there, they're just not getting any ball

With ball comes confidence

Give him a crack i say ....at the rabs he was a sick merkin. Ask saints fans what they think of him. Tore 'em to fargen shreds

schivofski is the worst fullback in the NRL but unfortunatly Simmons has modelled his fullback game on schivs style and is starting to push for his position as the worst. I can't beleive Merritt hasn't been given at least one game at FB to prove that the form he displayed when playing for the rabbitohs wasn't a one year wonder.

Simmons is a s**t full back, simple. If the pussy started to show some enthusiasm I would rate him but all I have seen is some great FB who can run fast just stroll up the line and get crunched. He needs to be earning his spot, with that crap he aint.

Moot point. Peach is back soon & will find his way back to top form.
agree Mr Cheese on the simmo at fullback.
He will never be a fullback.
Maybe centre but mostly a winger.

As for standins from now on.

1. Kent
2. merrit
3. Simmons

I just don't get it.
According to most people here we always have the ball.

Full Back= Last line of DEFENCE.

With Merritt its a Cocaine addicts worst nightmare- Just - the last line!

He can't even be considered surely.

Anyway Peach is back.

Geezus, anyone see Big League this week?

Check out the defensive shite they have at the beginning of the team lineup stuff. Vagana, McGoldrick and Simmons are deadset shockers.

Off the top of my head, Simmo's defensive flaws at fullback have let in 28 tries. :shock:
