Sorry, but I totally disagree with the negative comments about sims. FB is spot on in what he says, I too watch a fair amount of NRL and line breaking props are like hens teeth. It's certainly no coincidence we went to poop as soon as Sims and Hilly were taken off in the first half. I watched Sims when he played for the Cowboys, and more often than not he used to put in a full 40 in the first half then come back on for the last 20 of the second. Still, I suppose we do need yet another scapegoat now that Myler is away on his toes.

I made a point of watching his second spell. He is cunning. In attack (particularly the hard yards in our own half) he lines up purposefully such that not to be a contender to receive the ball from the play the ball. In defence he lumbers back so slowly he is offside for the next set.

It amazes me that he is in the side.

Asotasi stats (from the League Express) from the semi -

Tackles - 11, Missed Tackles - 2, Carries - 3, Metres - 20

I was going to put Alex Walmsley's stats in by way of a comparison but frankly it's depressing. He probably makes more metres getting up for a 3AM jimmy than Asotasi has all season.

I've never gone much on stats, miaw, I've got eyes, I can make up my own mind, without some Phil Larder clone waffling on. However, those figures for the "waste of skin in the 15 jersey" are, quite simply, appalling/bordering on wage theft.
3 CARRIES? LOVING 3 CARRIES? The 11 tackles, more than likely will involve him being the third/fourth man in, when the grunt's already been done.

Workshy, bone idle lover.

We ought to get Gary Skent to ask TS about Asotasi's contribution;

Gary: "Well, here we are again Tony, bit of a disappointment on Saturday eh, but what did you make of big Roy's performance" ?

Tony; "Yeh, yeh, they out-enthused us. I thought Roy was Ok, he put in a typical performance so I am a bit surprised you picked him out Gary"

Gary; "But he only made 20m and 3 carries" ?

Tony" " Yeh, as I said he put in a typical performance"

< muffled voice of Roger Draper in the background > " That's fecking £1000 per fecking metre"

Blood boiling stats.

3 fecking carries.

Joke

Wow that is just so so poor. For a semi final as well - wow.

What about England?

Can't the squad players do something, a la football, for the worst trainer of the week, were the "winner" has to drive around for a week in a clapped-out Reliant Robin.

Simply post these stats above his peg in the dressing room, and the likes of Hill/Harrison/Monaghan are allowed to abuse the waste of skin with impunity.

He makes my pooh itch

3 CARRIES

Was very disappointed with England - he just looked off the pace and I didn't think he seemed abe to make the yards. Caught out by opposition footwork too.
I thought of him as a good 3rd prop but not based on that performance. Let's hope it's just a bad day at the office for him and he steps up to the plate next week.
