i fail to see how people can blast a player who has played a handful of games and did not have a full preseason.
oh yes because they are giants supporters who obviously can do better and know better than the coach. brown is no mug and will have seen this guy play in NRL and will know what he can do. Perhaps now isnt the time to be making room for him i admit, but are people seriously suggesting that nathan would play someone who he thought was poorer than someone else he had available -on purpose??? honestly??? Simpson was one of the best players in our side at Salford. And everyone has clearly forgotton how well he played against Leeds at Headingly.
I suppose with hodgson going those who pick holes have to choose another scapegoat.

Exactly Jools...they've hounded Hodgson and before him Thorman out of the club they need someone else to target now !!

im not having a go at simpson im balking at the suggestion he should replace brown at stand off

I know I'm in a huge minority here, but watching KB at stand off reminds me of that legend know by a few as Wally Gibson. His play at FB was outstanding. He seemed a natural shoe in for SO. He was, let's say, not very good. At FB he had time to see the various options open to him. An up-to-date example might be Sam Tompkins.

Kev is, or was, a superb centre. At SO - and remember this is only my opinion - he seems to lack vision.

Again, do not get me wrong, he is a superb player - playing in what is not his natural position.

I'm sorry Ivor ''Shoe in'' what does that mean?
Foot in boot , boot in gob? Doesn't make sense.
You are perhaps mistaking it for that well used agricultural expression which identifies easily herded livestock as being ''A Shoo-in''.
Just because the Zaminer use it doesn't mean it is correct.
Oh, and whilst I'm at it, Ladies, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but it is not multi-tasking, it is merely a very short attention span.
Wow! I feel a lot better for getting that off my chest.

Totally agree Ivor i said at the time when they put thorman at fullback brown would of been the better choice, not bagging brown btw i think he is quality, just think like tomkins at wigan with more time on the ball he could be an even better player, we'd miss his defensive work though if he ever did go to full back

Me not making sense???

'Shoe in' - 'dead cert', 'absolute certainty', 'perfection', 'natural', etc.

There, that better?

wonder is simpson will play centre this week with cudjoe out...

simpson v atkins/king hmmm bit worrying!

At least we'd know where all the actions was going to be!!

I would have expected Wardle (if fit) and Horne to play centre this week, if not then Bruno or Gilmour would next in the pecking order for that position. Unfortunately Simpson showed on Sunday that he isn't up to speed yet (due to lack of game time) and putting him in a position which requires your defence to be at its best, against a Warrington side with an electric three-quarter line, is going to be suicide.

lets hope wardle is fit and we can go with horne and him in the centres, horne been playing really well lately

didnt horne play at centre last time we played at wire and was woeful, agreed last 2 games at centre he has been good, for me bruno and joe should be centres on friday, with dodgy and jerry on wing.

As I remember it the team was woeful at Warrington.

I despair at what some people see/don't see in players.
