Well BRAIN SURGEON, why the eff wouldnt you bring Simmons in last week to help Vickery out ? .
Well Simmonds is in exactly the same boat as Bowden so there is no use playing him.
Vickery would've been OK with Tuck in the side, he helps out at the ruck more than you think, quite often goes 3rd man up in the ruck and crashes the body of the opposition ruckman.
Someone mentioned Vickery was concentrating too much on the other ruckman, that is true. It would be easier for Vickery to concentrate on ball only, if his opponent was worried about getting a knee in the back from Tuck.
