He's looking to protect a player who is targeted pretty much every week for some "debatable" treatment and is suffering head injuries.'"
I don't remember him making those accusations prior to the semi final, if he did fair enough.
But if Simmons is "so concerned" why is he playing him?

| I'm far from a Tony Smith fan but he said the same thing about Morley.
Moz had been suffering from concussion for a number of weeks. Smith decided therefore not to play him. A massive decision not to play your best prop but Smith made it. Well done him for sticking to what he felt was best for the player's long term interests.
Simmons should talk to the Wire coach about the issue. A combined effort in talking to the RFL might acheive a lot more than complaining at the weekly press conf!

| Well Graham may be very badly injured and near death.... But somehow he is playing, despite having had concussion for a month....

Funnily enough I almost started a thread after the semi highlighting Graham's technique of diving or dropping forward just before the tackle. At times it verges on a voluntary tackle and if opposition players where to hang back once he's committed himself it would be pretty funny watching him throw himself on the floor. I can only assume that he does this in order to "win the ruck" because when he does do it, more often than not it leads to a very quick PTB. The downside is he puts himself at risk of high shots.

| Graham's just taken a big blow to the head from Robinson.
I imagine the Saints coach will be going beserk after the game over this cowardly attack on little Jammer by the large and vicious Luke Robinson!
Seriously though, bad clash of heads and Graham looked in a lot of pain.

Proper sport, one of the reasons i fell out of love with football is feigning injuries, these 2 get the magic sponge then up again.

| Fielden used to get his head taken off week in week out for Bradford and us but it was always blamed on an awkward upright running style. Get over it, no one complained when Stu was taking the hits. Props take shots, its not deliberate, its just part of the game
