Quote: the flying biscuit "No he's not very average is he? he's replacing a test and origin player who HAS been very average though.
Simms Will not be a wrecking ball type prop forward, but he trundles up hard yards in the middle of the park something Waterhouse (ok he's playing out wide) and Asotasi don't do.
He's clearly got some Mongrel in him which we are desperate for. He works hard in defence, and he's the back slapping high fiving, encouraging team spirit kind of guy that we need.
And after the loss of Morley and Carvell we need a high profile experienced forward to help out our younger forwards sadly waterhouse has not been the type of guy for that and Westwood has gone off the boil having to do the work of two back rowers while Trent takes it easy. Simms coming in will help both Westwood and Chris Hill.
If that's Hype then fair do's, to me its just an honest assessment of the one coming in being better than the one going out.
But thanks for offering kirke and lovegrove anyway'"
Sims looked pretty good at the weekend when the Cowboys stuck 64 on Wests.
