Jared Simpson : Sun Jun 07, 2015 4:50 pm  

Great Debut from Simpson, will be talking about that debut try for the rest of his life!

showed good speed, safe under the high ball and an attacking threat ...

Given man of the match too, will he keep his place next week or will Grix return?

Re: Jared Simpson : Sun Jun 07, 2015 4:58 pm  

Thought it was a deserved man of the match too, he looked a bit dodgy defensively but everyone seemed to be helping him out but was a constant threat in attack joining the line. That try was special for a kid on his debut. Hopefully it won't be weeks before we see him again.

Should imagine Grix will walk back in though as that's how it works at our club.

Man of the match!

Grix back in next week then.

Defensively he clearly needed help- but he did well on his debut. He really needs to put on some size though! McNally was known as sticksy-but Jareds legs are thinner than my 9 yr old daughters!!!

Re: Jared Simpson : Sun Jun 07, 2015 6:45 pm  

For me the lad was sensational.

Give him a run in the team, Joins the line well, great under the high ball, confident.

Re: Jared Simpson : Sun Jun 07, 2015 8:51 pm  

I'm on holiday so not made the game today.

Genuine question.

On returning the ball did Simpson wait for his wingers and pass to them or run it back straight and hard?

If he ends up being half as tough and with half the class of Brett Hodgson he'll go a long way.

Superb debut.

Backing it up will be the next test and I'm sure the coaching staff will pick the right moment to put him on the pitch again. They sure picked the right moment to debut him. Well done PA and your coaching team.

Are you taking the rinse?!!!

They had no choice but to pick him. Do you think he would have been playing had Grix not been suspended?

Re: Jared Simpson : Sun Jun 07, 2015 11:10 pm  

In my view I couldn't give a flying fig for the "stars" feelings Wha incentive does it give lads likeLeeming and Jared if they're given a chance / take iitwith flying colours and then get sidelined again With that approach we won't get the chance to see what they're made of. Yes take each case on its merits but until they appear to be failing at the top level give em the chance to show whether they CAN hack it . The young lads obviously maybe haven't the "pedigree" of the established first teamers but if they shine and are as good in performance as their peers pat them on the back and say well done but that's iit for now is to me soul destroying and will do nothing for their confidence .Sometimes yes there are cases of standing out on their debut but without giving them the chance to blend in and seeing WHETHER they can back it up by giving them a repeatI think you can actually knock back a "young UN's" enthusiasm and progress a lot more than if they had a bad game and if he's any ambition he might try finding opportunities elsewhere..

Connor to full back was a popular 'choice' on here - so no I'm not taking the rinse.

He was deemed ready to play Super League and proved the point.

Plenty of people on here want the youngsters to be given a chance.

We get one on the pitch and he gets MOM. What more do you want?
