Another impressive media conference from BB. Handled direct, personal and important questions with integrity and aplomb. Glad he uses words like 'hurting' when referring to how he is feeling, how other coaches are feeling and understanding it's how we must be feeling. Very uniting and empathic. I hope our fortunes turn very soon, for him to celebrate wins as much as anyone. You also deserve reward for effort, BB.
On another subject completely and in response to some of the above... not getting the criticisms of Simmo. Yes, I like many have groaned at some of his lame disposals, but they're few and far between - his good far outweighs the c0ckups. The bloke still has terrific judgement re where to put his slight frame and is an overall effective defender. And we sure as hell aint got anyone who can do what he does at present. He and Daisy have been doing a mountain of work down back against, at times, overwhelming odds. You put Docherty, Williamson and Byrne in that backline and suddenly a lot changes... a lot being left to a few at present but that will change.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
