Agreed, great footwork and can make things happen!

the others are fast but Simmons is rapid a genuine alternate option.

Cronin Scores our third as I type
Agreed on Simmons, if he can avoid injuries I think he can really make a mark. At worst he could be a strong squad player for years, at best I think he's got the potential to be a regular in the starting XV.

Speed and footwork out wide really does help. Want to see him involved more as he's looked good so far.

I think he will be, been injured so far but Aussies love speedy wingers, nailed on for the 23 shirt at least if he can stay fit

Pack all round have dominated Bath. Our second row have set the standard though and Rogerson’s best game in a Tiger’s shirt.

I wouldn't go that far. Their defence has been ok and will be better now they have 15 again; their backs have the capacity to turn it on and we have the capacity to be complete muppets.

The stats would disagree - we’ve dominated the game.

Play Rogerson at 6 and he'll always put in a strong performance - he's a very good Prem 6. At 7 or 8 he'll give it everything and do OK, but nothing more.

Makes such a difference when players receive the ball moving forward a pace.
