I wouldn’t normally attack a player or blame them totally for a loss and I am not about to start now but Ashton Sims is the most horrendous carrier of the ball in the history of Rugby League. I have worn out the end of my thumb texting a mate of mine every single time Simms knocks-on running the ball up “F’kn SIMMS!!!!!!” In fact you can count on him to knock on in 70% of all games he plays, which in itself is bad, but when you consider he comes of the freaking bench it is harry horrendous darts!!!!! I would hate to see that stat if he started and played out each game.

Unfortunately for Simms and every single Broncos supporter, there was no knock-on more crucial than last nights. With one or two minutes on the clock the ball was passed to Simms for a key hit up near the Broncos line. Knowing that he hadn’t knocked on this game and knowing that he hadn’t knocked on in his last two games, I statistically feared the worst and winced as the car crash I knew was about to happen happened. As the ball bobbled out I looked down the Broncos defensive line and saw that we were in big trouble.

I know its only a game but it is the most heartbreaking loss I have ever experienced as a Broncos fan.

Cheers to Wayne Bennet for all his contributions.

Go Melbourne who carry my hopes with the bet I spoke about the other day.
