OK, tumbleweed signing in
I've had some slightly more important and enjoyable things to be doing than replying to someone who has been huffing too much fly spray
Merritt does dominate PL
I used to believe Mellor was best in the centres and ridiculed Anderson for putting him on the wing but it turned out Ando was right. I like Mellor on the wing to run the ball back and for relief at dummy half. He's also big and strong and runs hard, unlike Simmons. He's also a superior defender.
McGoldrick has better defence than Simmons and I simply would have more confidence in him at critical times than I would in Simmons. Seems we are top 4 bound and I dont want a person in our team whose defence relies on him being constantly coached by Vagana/Peachey/whoever.
If you reckon McGoldrick is invisible, well I believe Simmons' main asset to the team is finishing, not creating. He's good at getting on the end of an overlap or running and outjumping a bloke who is waiting for the ball to get to the ground but he doesnt create much himself. I think Goldy could do the same, if not more than Simmons.
I'm not a Simmons "hater" for the sake of it. I just dont think he is what we need in our team on the wing this year in the finals, and I dont think he will ever be sufficient at fullback when Peachey gets bumped out of the club (as it seems the Sharks cant wait to do at the end of this year, just like last year).
