We rarely score from twenty metres out- we are too obvious. Why not move eorl or Patrick out wide to run at the smaller guys. Today when we had all those sets on leeds line Burrow was defending out at centre, Simpson is twice the size and never got the ball. As a tactic send the likes of eorl, Patrick or fa'alogo running out wide close to the line against the smaller guys. We would have scored today if we did that.

read my post before having a go. I said from what I've seen of him I've not been impressed. Where did I say he played poor today as I can not comment as like I've said I wasn't there!!!!!

Because we are not creating the space to get the back line moving,against Quins etc it's easy street.It's tough on 'em after a great season but some of our props are just not doing it now.

Exactly! Was like wigan all over again- The tactics don't work so why not change then!

Have the tactics you want if some props don't wanna do it namore you will suffer.Keith Mason superb when he came on,after 3 injuries as good as ever.

Brough for me - but don't let it take away the chance of a witch hunt. It's just the right time to slag our own players off and undermine confidence. Let's go for it!

Jamie S. to stand off,Kev Brown back to the centres,it makes sense.I know that,and you know that too.

Disagree with that SG. I think Brown is better at stand off than centre. Certainly don't think Simpson would improve us by playing at 6.

Simpson's got to play 6 now though Dan,otherwise there is no role for him.Centre too small,full back too small.Don't see a role for him,bad signing,bigger lads ont wing.

why shift the team about to get him in? He isnt good enough, im sure he's a good guy and all that but he was bought as a winger/centre and has been found wanting. As someone said, why are we trying to fit him in now at the business end of the season? putting him to stand off just to get in the side, has he ever played there? Does not make sence.
Just because he is Australian does not mean he must get in the side.

Here we go. The lad doesn't get a pass, doesn't do anything wrong, and he's a waste of money!

However, not quite enough of the Thorman/Hodgson gang in full song yet.

He shot out of the line which gave them a try in the 2nd half. As i said in an earlier thread, why have a back on the bench, waste of a spot when we have cover in the team should the need arise. Any mistakes he makes are magnified due to the expectation put on him by bieng the new guy and Australian. Now is not the time to try and get him up to speed.

Well after watching Simpson for 7 out of the 8 games he"s pulled on the Claret and Gold. My opinion is this lad is not good enough to help the club progress to the next level. He"s had plenty of game time on the wing and failed to even look like scoring. He"s played in the centre and not looked threatening. He was rsponsible for Leeds"s try in the second half which took the game away from us. He came out of the line and did not have the pace to recover. He as been injured for the vast majority of his time at the club so over the last few months he as surely been working on his fitness and speed work.
I was baffled by his selection yesterday does Browny feel sory for him, should have gone with Raleigh on the bench. Then when Leroy got injured we could have kept Horne at centre and moved Lee Gilmour into the centre role. More importantly I would rather see a young English lad playing than Simpson.

If he wasn't an Aussie he wouldn't get a look in, no better than English players running around in the lower divisions.

nothing about this makes sense, are you on glue? why move our captain and someone who has been capped internationally as a stand off to centre so someone who has never played a professional game at stand off can take his place, if cudjoe doesnt play on friday either Gilmour or Lawrence can play centre as could Horne or Wardle and Kirmond, Raleigh or Fairbank can come in at 2nd row. Simpson has played about 20mins in the u20's at hooker, where do you get him playing at stand off from? or here is an idea, Simpson is a cenre if you want him in team play him at centre
