| Compare Sims vs Savelio
It's easy to see which of the two makes in roads through defences.

Again,with reference to an unreliable source (Wiki) Savelio weighs 4lbs less than Sims but is also 2in shorter..

He makes a ruddy great dent in them and when you have dazed defenders returning to the line and markers getting up slowly, it helps the go forward after quick play the balls.
Just like to add that when you have been steamrollered and put on your , your less likely to come back for seconds.

Yes Sims defence is infinitely better and he has an offload (sort of). .. and he does this in the middle of the park week in week out doing a fair stint in each half.... and not a bit part player out wide with the small blokes...
but it's a Sims bagging post so must be true. ..

I wouldn't be totally disappointed to see him given one more year either. the consensus was that he's already on his way, is it me or is his situation still unclear?

It's juts an absolute myth that prop forwards break the line with alarming ease and regularity.... but some fans on here think it should happen.
Its not under 9's ...!!
When George Burgess was in his NRL pomp he rarely broke tackles but it took so many to tackle him he lead the stats in tries scored immediately after his runs. ....... that's a fact.
It would have took a strange person to comment on his lack of tackle busts. ...
Incidently a Huddersfield prop according to the SL stats has made 148 tackle busts. Chris Hill has made 23. Guess which one makes more metres per carry.
Yes Chris Hill. ... the other fella must break a tackle and stop.

I agree - it was a comment in defence of Sims - who i like. There's another thread stating how we want our players to give 100%. Limited as Sims is - he always gives 100% and does his job very effectively.

| I think the problem is that despite being absolutely fine (not outstanding but above average) Sims 'looks' like an impact player who should cause carnage... the warrior hair do doesn't help his cause. If he shaved his head he wouldn't get half the grief from some fans.
It's not HIS fault that we don't have a real impact prop to bring on (Savelio is the nearest thing to that).

| Effectively for 2 seasons we have been "under-propped". Last season Hill and Sims worked miracles. This year Hill not quite at the same level and Crosby and Cooper missing in different ways (and for different reasons).

Am I overstating when I say Cooper has been our most disappointing signing of the last 10 years? And before anyone says Brown, I thought he was turd before he got here; I expected huge things from Cooper- he's not looked any better than before he left IMO.

| Why should we criticise Cooper ,he is no different now than when he left for Oz apart from his handling has improved . He may be a superstar next year going off the 12 month settling in period rule.

| I've said it previous. Coops has been the most disappointing signing. Not saying he's pants but we didn't get this hype prop of Oz but the same Coops that left here.
Let's be honest.... was there much of a stank kicked up here when he left...?

| I think there were great expectations that he would come back in the mould of Graham or Morley ,but are there issues at the Wire that we don't know about that could be affecting all the playing staff who ,on paper, should have more than held their own in SL this year ?

| Unless my memory is playing tricks, Cooper seemed to really run the ball in hard when we played the Broncos at the start of the season, but since then has not put in nearly as much effort. I suppose he could have viewed the game as a one off where he wanted to impress his ex NRL mates, but yes his form has looked rather lacklustre this year.

| I think cooper could have been carrying a knock through the season. He hasnt been amazing but let's just get this stinking season out of the way and it's a fresh start for everyone next season, hopefully with a new coaching setup.

| Cw8 I'm more than willing to forget everything about 2017. I would say the most disappointing season I can ever remember.
Yes we've had worse seasons but our expectations wasn't really tested. We were what we ate.

Agreed, I've never been as disappointed with any Warrington side, we've been worse but I never expected anything but honesty from those sides.
No doubt about it we've massively underperformed this season, these players are much better than the performances we have been served. Players attitudes may well be a factor but I think the coaches are the most culpable for it, they can no longer inspire a response from the players IMO.

He played with a fractured hand for the 6 weeks after the Brisbane game and needs his shoulder operated on in the close season.
