Enjoyed the call or radio Wire FM. As a cowboy fan I have seen a fair bit of both Paterson and Simms. Believe me Warrington have got the best of it having Simms. The Cowboys got Paterson when the Newcastle Knights cut him mid contract. His first game for us was against Newcastle and he went ok but it was all down hill from there. He has struggled to consistently hold any sort of first grade NRL spot and while he is athletic I don't think he has much of a football brain.

Because he is a practicing Moslem we were worried about how he would go during Ramadam with all the daylight fasting which has to be a concern for a power foreward. We should not have worried though because he was just as ordinary all year as he was in August.

On the other hand Simms has a lot to offer and most Cowboy fans were really sorry to see him go. Seems from the time half way through last season when Smith got him to sign for Wire his football stepped up another notch. Not that there was anything wrong with it prior to that. I think Simms became a better footballer with a more controlled aggression around the time of the last World Cup series when he represented Fiji with Petero Civoniceva. He stopped giving away so many silly penalties although he still has one or two in him. I think he played his best games when he captained the Cowboys during the origin period.

Good. Looks like the folks at Red Hall saw Tony's interview in the WG.

I would really like to see Bennys 'head tackle' again.
At the time I thought it was a certain red card, when the Ref only gave Benny a yellow then I thought a ban would follow.

Did the panel manage to miss Hauraki's shoulder charge to O'Brien's head ?

Penalty sufficient. Committed to making tackle by making a wrapping motion.......whatever that means.

I was really worried when Benny made that tackle , as it looked pretty bad. Think it was a good job that it didn't all kick off and Benny seemed to stick his hands up which helped situation . Good decision by ref and red hall.
