How come nobody mentions Simpkin let the first try in and missed a number of tackles w hile Liddle had a good game in reggies .Is Simkin the latest favourite.
Simpkin didn't miss the first tackle try, Musgrove did (Twal was secondary). You are thinking of the 3rd try, but even that one I wouldn't entirely pin on Simpkin, because Turbo runs away from him and Mbye fails to cover to his outside as Turbo veers away from Simpkin.
Liddle is a decent player but he wasn't setting the world on fire his first 5 matches 2021, and Simpkin was good against Souths.
Thought Doueihi was the number one offender for the first try. Utterly lazy, as was Musgrove for the next try.
Doueihi definitely was at fault for the Foran try
I saw it that way live and have just checked again to make sure my eyes didn't deceive me. Adam was that lazy that even Talau gave him a gobful for his lack of effort.
Shocking mate looks like the coach is picking players that back him first.
Doueihi quite simply is just not good enough.
And yet the forum praised him and said he was what was needed in the 5/8 position this year...
