Firstly I've never seen so much wrestling on a rugby field . Wigan have their defensive timing just right to get away with it .

We look so very much shored up on the right side now with Hiku and Pomeroy.

I just can't wait till the day Kevin Brown comes back into the right side and can deliver a few passes to them. We may look like a balanced attacking team .

anyways always nice to beat the pies . CMON WIRE

It doesn't take much to have the best defensive performance for this season. This season our defence has been like a sieve!

I thought Joe Philbin was immense tonight not just a tackle every now and then it was tackle after Tackle, the lad has one hell of an engine on him

If Sims isn't here next year we are definitely going to miss his defensive efforts, some massive hits last night.

Hiku and Pomeroy have obviously received coaching at some point in the past on how to defend an edge. Solid...in position...aware.

2nd half definitely. Some suspect attempts first half!!

No we won't or speak for yourself.
However his offload game helped along with others, causing Pies some energy problems.
We were fitter than them last night. Keeping the ball moving in attack stretched them.

If you think we're not going to miss Sims Defensively you need to think again .

When he's 1st man in, more often than 3rd and the occasional 2nd... I'll agree with you too.

Are you saying Sims is a lazy defender ? I suggest you watch the game from friday again , or any other game Ash has played in the Primrose and Blue. Poor fella gets bagged by absolutely everyone who has never pulled a pair of boots on .

Sims gets bagged by the same one poster on here.....

the rest of us can see his defensive efforts....In particular his last ditch tackling I find exceptional ...
the ability to pull down players making a half break one handed has saved us plenty of times. Thats a tackle. however so is Andre Savelio flopping on top of three other prone players.....

you see what you want to I guess and the stats say both are an equal tackle.

as you say Sims is not a Lazy defender probably works harder than anyone else in the team.

No I did not say that.
Sims has been arguably the best talker, motivation and praise in the squad during his time...
Sims was the best forward vs Wigan easily, I don't need to watch a tv re-run, I was there. I'm not shy to give praise where it's deserved.

However...
I also have a long memory. One hot day doesn't make an Indian summer.

At this moment...my gripe isn't Sims....it's the untouchable...Hill.
He's a frigging liability this season.
