Mate, I think you are dangerously underestimating Simmo's contribution to and inspiration for the team with that idea atm. Dylan would have to do a hell of a lot more before it could even be put up as a remote possibility.

I'm with you here.
Docherty, like Simmo have a knack of remaining focused and driven. They both have a "do what you must to get it done" approach and make the difficult appear routine.

As for Buckley. I've seen only glimpses of class. It looks like this year's been a real struggle so far with form and discipline (i.e. suspension). I'd say if he can't find his mojo, and find it consistently for the second half of the year, his number might be up.
Not sure what his contract entails though.

Mate, I dont think you read my post.
I think I actually said that he is nowhere near Simpson.

I accept what everyone is saying re ability.
My thinking was more along the lines of the running off half back that Simpson does for the team.
Obviously Simmo is the heart and soul of this team, or a big part thereof, and I am in no way insinuating I want Buckley to replace him before his time is up.
I'll just put that idea back in the cupboard.

OK. Btw, I would love to see Dylan make it for us. I saw him deliver the ball beautifully to Jack s. a couple of times playing or the NBs last w/e.
