Dustin Cooper should be fullback. Especially if he's become so injury free he's matching it for speed with Albert. He's a big hard merkin who WILL break tackles.
Let Simmo be Unco's backup.
Stuart has no choice but to talk Simmo up now. He's his coach and he's a loyalist. I don't think Sticky is about undermining his own while at the same time he knows the power of positive pandering to player egos.
He may well be saying, or even think, Simmo has "potential" now but I guarantee Simmo could well be suffering Hot Potato syndrome if he continues to play like some purse carrying nancy boy.
Stuart uses power fullbacks. I defy anyone here to say they have seen signs of power play from Simmo no matter how much kinetic talent the dropkick might have hidden under his skirt.
