Am I the only one around here who thought Kade Simpson had a good game?
I thought he was better, did he played in back pocket or HBF tonight?
Simmo obviously still not in top form but I loved some of his desperation when the game was on the line. Really threw himself at the contest a few times. He'll be right. He'll play himself back in to form. A few easier wins with some free outside ball would be great for his confidence
If Simmo plays with that kind of heart.. he will be back in form real soon....
But id keep him in the backline
Agile.. good overhead and a good penetrating kick
when in the grooveA liability on the last line when he's not.
You need a BP who can make tackles stick.
He's done some very ordinary things in the first 4 rounds on the last line...dropping plenty of marks, ordinary handballs which dont make the distance, kicks not hitting targets, weak tackling, bad shooting for goal (except that last goal...but that was when he was forward.
He's past his best and has to learn to play within himself. He can't do the things he use to do to break lines. He lost 1/2 a yard last year and seems to have lost another 1/2 yard this year.
I don't think its form...maybe it is a bit (hopefully)...I think he can still play an integral part in our 22...his desire and desperation are Simmoesque, but he needs to play with less risk than he's been use to....IMO.
I would play his as the sub.He Could make an impact late but certainly he no longer can contest for 4 quarters.
