I don't know the figure, I am surmising that to tempt him to the UK, with him a regular in the NRL and an International he would cost more than signing an up and coming prop from the Championship for example.

Clearly the club have considered value for money too hence why he is not with us next season, yet he declared his desire to remain.

In the hkr game, did anyone else notice the number of times after play the ball Sims was simply a dummy runner ? Hardly ever took it in. Just ran through whilst the pass went behind him to the next man . Appeared they just didnt want to use him as a contact prop.
He must have been well cheesed off.
Wonder what his carry metres were ? Well last game so guess it doesn't matter now.

Another Rob Parker.

TBH most of the second half when we were on attack was about trying to make currie look good.

I can see notion. Might be too late for him. Could be the club have comprised a video to be sent to Aus for Bennett in a last ditch to prove worth.

So I wasn't the only one to spot that.

Sims gets a lot of stick but we've got much bigger problems than him. At least he's a bit of a snide and has a bit of needle about him. Too many choir boys in this squad. Notice that Cooper seems to get a free pass, he's been a far bigger disappointment.

Cooper and Hill haven't escaped my wrath...we have the same Cooper that left for Aus, and a soft penalty giving, bang average Hill.

I'm thinking we may see the better side of cooper next year, especially under a disciplinarian coach.

Clark was rubbish in his first season in 2015, despite being Man of Steel.

Did you ever see him throw a punch? Or remotely follow through on any biff? I've not but I only watch the games on TV.

I think we have only one player that the opposition would be thinking "don't with him", and that's Westwood.

I'll start a list on previous players who have fitted the bill nicely.

Des Drummond
Paul Cullen
Alan Rathbone
Carl Webb
Les Boyd
Kevin Tamati
Bob Jackson
Tony Burke (?)
Adrian Morley
Carvel
Nikau
Mike Nicholas

That'll do. That's my team right there.

I said snide. I didn't say he's always up for a fight. I mean he's got a niggly side to him like stamping on players hands and winding people up. Abit like Willie Isa at Wigan or McIlorum.

I was the. First to criticise him on here and bashed for it, I've also said in over the course of 2017, he's been our best prop and I'd give him another year.

Your being kind saying Hill was bang average.Still scratching my head on how Cooper got all the plaudits over in Oz then comes back here looking like a championship player + again prob being kind to him + baffled as to how Hill can go from 1 of best forwards last season to a shadow of that this season.Lets hope its a 1 off.
