I fancy us to win this one more than the Salford game, so if we need to win 4, which I think we do, its a must win.

4/5 IS A MUST for me, but think it might be too much, I think Leeds will get 5th now then it's one of four I honestly think its between us and Salford and they game against them will be massive for both clubs.

Simm recalled by Saint, inevitable hat trick incoming

The club wish him the best for the rest of this season and beyond.
Sounds like he won’t be back.

Got to be targeting Simms in defence & with the high ball if he plays.

Surprised to see Simm called back by Saints, didn't notice any new injuries from yesterday's game v cas.

The young kid, Hill?, did his shoulder.

what a surprise,sts recall simm just before we play them.biggest cheats in the game.

sts have got away with murder on and off the field for years.playing a teams when it suits,i still remember the covid farce last year.they had a fully fit squad for the final,should have been playing rovers on a short turnaround,when teams are vulnerable.suddenly they have a few down with covid.match off.following week we play leeds on the friday they also have a game.they called that off.had a nice fortnight off after wembley.we had a 2 day turnaround after leeds and played sts on the monday,who been resting for over 2 weeks.we unsurprisingly got well beat.i remember pearson wasnt happy.i didnt blame him.cheats

I'd have sympathy for him if he was an experienced NRL player who thought he was not been used in his favoured position.

Lovodua was a part time NSW cup player who didn't make the first grade and would probably have been released by Souths. There was no guarantee he would have been picked up by another club.

It's not for him to dictate what position he prefers to play and it's just staggers me that he refuses to play 9 the position he was brought over here for. He should be proud to play for the club full stop.

He started the season well but his form has fallen away like the rest of the team.

If he doesn't want to play 9 perhaps we should use his quota place to sign a specialist who does.

If we are going to have a utility player it should be Smith. Look at what he has done in his career compared to Lovodua.

I've never been one to criticise individual players but in this instance I feel justified. I've seen a lots of players over the years that are simply not good enough but as long as they've got the right attitude and put in the effort I'm reluctant call them out.

Of course all of this is speculation and if it turns out to be bollox!

And therein lies the rub, because I heard he wants to play there full time, but at the moment his opportunities are limited.
Chinese whispers and all that

How is it cheating to ask your own employee to play for you
Clearly Percival is not ready, Grace is out and the young lad hill is out of his depth and possibly injured.

Simms would have been going back this week whether it was Hull FC or Wakefield that Saint are playing.

But why spoil a good conspiracy
