Sims doesn't make those extra couple of yards in the tackle that hilly does, but a lot of his other stuff is pretty good. No probs from me with him starting.

Ref 'Cox's attitude' - not sure what that's referring to. He's a character and as a 4th/5th prop he's exceeded my expectations.

Good rap from Bailey tonight. Some good hit ups and one very good ball take that led to dwyers try.

Sims was so much better when he came on after his bench spell though.
Perhaps you see what I mean now?
He's better against a tired defence because he is so much more mobile.

Sims had a cracking game tonight. In his first spell he seemed to take 2 carries every set, he had his hands on the ball a lot and got through plenty of work. Also made some good offloads which led to at least 2 breaks.

Not sure what you've been smoking Duckie but if you think that Sims first stint was not that good then you want certifying. He was SUPERB all game

Agreed, he was immense in Friday in attack and defence.

I understand what Rd is saying but we don't really have a forward to start wit that will ware down.a defence sufficiently and also that will give us the start with the intensity that we need.

Until we have a fully fit set of forwards I don't think we have many options apart from hill n sims to start. Baily cox king and dodds Harrison Evans when fit will give us more options and ability to give players a rest if needed. Not to mention the competition for a place.

With players starting to come from injury there is enough skill in the team to spread the ball early within sets so as not to have to rely on barnstorming runs from the props.
