Simona

[southerntiger]

Just watching the Channel 9 game and Tigers have just completed an excellent back line move and would have scored except Simona wasn't in position. He was three metres behind the line.

If we had scored then who knows what would have happened.

The kid has had a good year but that was terrible Tim.

He wins us games, one bad game when the whole team plays crap doesn't matter.

 

[system]

He had some positioning issues today.

You've gotta be kidding right? This post has gotta be purely for attention

Lawrence's pass was off, regardless of Simona's position you pass to where the player is going to be, not where you think they should be.

It was a bad pass he can't be superman every week

Rubbish Blake. Simona was out of position twice. I just saw the second one. The centre is entitled to expect his winger to be there. Lite would have been and would have scored both. Gould just called it as Simona's fault as well.

Simona has been excellent this year and hopefully learns from those two mistakes. Score line could have been 24-18.

It was great centre passing from Lawrence to draw the winger.

Lawrence's passes were woeful …he isn't a first grader anymore . FFs we let mini cello score straight through Marshall yet again

 

[1_4_chicken_chips]

Well you must be right southern , gus Gould called it like you .. Or we're you calling it like him ?

 

[MacDougall]

Agreed. Both were on Simona from the outside looking in. They were good passes and any other winger would have been there. He's supposed to be quick.

Nah I called it and then heard him call it. The passes were fine. If the winger is there, the ball hits him in the bread basket.

Agreed
I just got home from the game and I'm telling you now Lawrence's pass were shockers , he has no speed and can't read the defence.
I also don't see the obsession people have in Tedesco , yeah maybe he was brilliant in under 20 's but this is a different level and for now he hasn't got it for this level , yeah I know he's young and whatever but don't see the XFactor about him as yet in the NRL level.

Good passer's you serious? I was in line where I was seated with both passer's …. SHOCKER

 

[MacDougall]

They were along the same line as the one that Lawrence received, Lawrence being a snail fairly assumed that Simona would be in line with him if not overrunning him, unfortunately Simona was playing nintendo in the background for some reason.

 

[stryker]

Simona has X factor and speed, he is also not afraid to get stuck in. For these reasons I look forward to watching him become a prominent footballer.

As I said, 'become'. He is young and still green and therefore has mistakes in him. He should have scored twice today off Lawrence and was not where he needed to be to score. That will come with experience. There was nothing wrong with Rowdy's passes, he had every right to expect his winger to be there.

Having said that, he was far from the reason we were smashed again. His play at the death is enough for anyone to keep faith in him.

Simona has had a great season but he butchered 2 tries today , gus called it, Darren Lockyer called it and I called it as did many above. He should have been in position, the passes were great and if Simona is doing his job then Chris Lawrence has 2 try assists this evening

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Both Simona and Nofo are good for us but neither have the pace of Koro which is a great shame.
Combine the 3 players together and its nothing short of a superman NRL winger/Center IMO

 

[WTDiehard]

I think Simona should have been in position to take those pass's….but he wasn't. He has been very good so far this year.....today he had an off day......I forgive him as there are many tigers that have not contributed as much as Tim has....he is young and he will learn.

I have a question, Is Tim Simona the same guy who scored a hat trick against the Broncos at Campbelltown in 2009 or 2010 therebouts? Obviously not, as Simona seems to have debutised this year, but who was that player back then? I swore his name was Tm Simona?
