Free Tyson.
Free Tyson.
When in Rome.I've been watching him closely the last few weeks. Geez he has been quite lazy both in offence and D. Losing the ball a fair bit too :/
Should still be having a dig. They are paying his wages after all.When in Rome.
Ok, let's all take a deep breath and calm down about Tyson for a moment. He's fine. Remember that he is in a badly beaten team, with no real help and his team constantly on the back foot. He would be absolutely exhausted with the quicker game due to the absolute dumpster fire that is the St George Illawarra Dragons. I know stats aren't everything, and can be misleading, HOWEVER I ran some quick numbers to try and relax a few people who are concerned about his production or "effort". I've picked 5 second rowers who are in my opinion, five of the better second rowers in the comp. Take a look at their per game numbers, for a quick read I've also given Tyson's rank amongst the five of them in brackets next to his stats.

Now, I don't know about you guys but he certainly holds up numbers wise from where I'm sitting. If that's him being lazy and not having a dig, I can't wait to see what he does surrounded by a good team and putting in. Hurry up and get here ASAP, Tyson!
Nah his just keeping himself fresh for the knights......... I guess I'm just looking too far into it. Everytime I seen him he looked uninterested, I always seen before he went looking for a hitup or edge run. Now it's only when the ball goes his side. He did however stay out there even on one leg and run himself to look like Guerra.He was running around on 1 leg for the last 15 minutes or so for the Dragons on the weekend but still kept turning up, particularly in the last 5 minutes when the Sharks were throwing everything at them...players can have an 'off' period but he's a bit like Guerra for mine - I don't think it is in his DNA to dog it once he crosses the chalk on to the playing field

For those with memories, he is playing in a team that has both Sims brothers in their roster...as a benchmark, remember how well they put in for the Knights...I'd say they dialled it in but I don't even think they could be bothered to press the numbers...unless it was the hash key?!Considering the kind of player he's been since he started I think we can give him a pass if he's playing uninterested in a team that he's leaving that also happens to be playing like a wooden spoon level team. He plays the game hard on both sides of the ball & I'm sure he'll come here to contribute rather than just for a check.
Tariq looked good behind a Dragons pack when it was firing...not surprised that he wasn’t when it’s not.
Yeah - it's sad when the best forward in the family is the sister, RuanThere's the reason I call the Sims girls Blanche, they are gutless.
