At some point this season Sims will be first man into a tackle.

Only if he's the ball carrier

Even then he might have to shove Briers out of the way.

I kept expecting Briers to take a hit up.

Does anyone have a link to the stats from the game? Struggling to find them. At the game it appeared that Garbutt got through a ton of defence was interested to read them, but not the most computer literate person so struggled to find them!!

It also appeared that Sims did a ton of defence and work, so not sure what the comments above from others are about.

He seems to be a leader for them and seems to play long minutes.
Not much of a metre maker or big hitter I think is what the posters are commenting on.

Is that down to being knackered like Hill or unable, like Kirke. I have no idea.

No one had to do a monster amount of tackling simply because we had so much more possession than Warrington. Also Garbutt impressive in attack again with 156m. And Leuluai again, 11 carries for 102m.

Some impressive stats for Garbutt and Cuthbertson.

44 tackles and only one miss. 15 carries and hundred metres. That is huge work rate.

JJB doesn't meet those stats and yet gets praised for his work rate. I would say people are looking for something that is not there with Simms. He is certainly giving good return on his money on those stats.

And Kirke run the ball superbly for us, he was just too lazy to do it often enough, and that was his problem.

I am not disagreeing,merely pointing out what I thought the other posters were commenting on.

Kirke did a job for us,solid if unspectacular. My issue with him was always that I felt he was holding back Singleton or keeping a place in which we could sign better.

people castigating hardaker for not putting burrow in but McGuire did the self same thing later in the game

It's pretty hard to find anything bad about Hardakers performance, I am sure they had to try really hard to find that complaint. Stop being mean .

they had a point but it wasn't just him.

Some people are just never happy. I am kinda glad Hardaker and Watkins are backing themselves more.
