Simmo was chosen as Victoria's number one ruckman for a reason. Up until the State of Origin game he was the best ruckman, alone with the Dream Teams ruckman - Cox, in the league. Unfortunately since that game he has been unable to run and ruck out games due to his injury. As he stated in the interview as a smallish ruckman you need to jump to contend and Simmo does his best work around the ground becasue of his mobility.
I think the rest would have done him a world of good. I'm just worried about the short break coupled with the Interstate trip and its effect on our players. If the game is a competeion of pace and fitness we may run out of legs if this short Interstate break proves a factor....
Love to hear about Cotch.
His legend is already starting to grow.....
