Simpkin

[HelenR]

Thought he was very good tonight. Courageous and strong. Glad to see him back in the side.

[fingers]

Absolutely - played a great game. Played the percentages. Saw some Max in him tonight.

[Sobraz]

Crucial..

Should be a lock from now on...

[Milne]

He looks very composed. Just what we need down back

[bennymac5]

Was outstanding. Zero goals kicked on him. Did well on all of Hurley, Ryder and Hille at times. Is very courageous like Raph however is calm, makes good decisions and has very good skills.

[stkfc1]

Might have to start calling this guy "The Cucumber" cause he's cool as!

[Seaford_Saint]

Should be in the first 5 inked in every week for the next 10 years - a genuine footballer in all aspects

[Bowey Boy]

Yes.

[SunburySaint]

Give him the number 8 Guernsey next year absolute quality... Really made our backline look good and very composed

+ 1 to all of those statements!!

[saint1974]

Our new Max, he should never be left out of the side again.

[SainterK]

I like how he knows when to concede a behind and not keep the ball alive, makes good decisions.

[HardSaint]

how gutsy was that fast against the flight mark he pulled

inspirational efforts all night

[dcstkfc]

Great game, a new standard to live up to

[Scollop]

They stuffed up last week by leaving him out of the team, and not sure why they did, but Tommy made a statement tonight. The dilemna will be who do you drop when Macca, Stanley, Kosi, and Blake are all fit. I'd rather Tommy playing down back instead of Neil. Maybe Chips, Gilbo, Simpkin, Dempster, Gears and Jimmy Gwilt, with Neil basically as back up if one of the tall backs is out...or if both Macca and Stanley are out at the same time

"The iron cucumber "
Watching the replay of the reimers head clash you would have thought that simpkin copt the worse of it however reimers was the one who struggled to get up !
I'm sure tommy gonna have a big headache tonight .

I'd like him to keep 31. Whilst he isn't dissimilar to Max, I think he should make a name for himself with his own number without the pressure of living up to Max.

[Jacks Back]

He's one of those guys that plays better in the seniors than in the reserves/Sandy.

Ten light years ahead of Raph. Fortunately I think we've seen the last of that dud Clarke.

[HardSaint]

if i saw it right, it Reimers was the wreckless contribution to the clash of heads

good thing about Tommy, is that he's not stupid courageous like Kosi

Don't think so as the gurnsey is already taken by someone already. While he has his faults, his courage cannot be questioned......

[saintsRrising]

Simpkin showed how good he is when played in the right position, FB is beyond him.

He takes over from Blake as the "third tall" defender.

He played at full back on Ryder for the most part...

Classy!

we can't compliment one of our own without of course belittling another can we?
