I could see Buckley playing a similar role.
He is nowhere near as good as Simpson at the moment, but Kade took a while to really get going as well.
Simmo has got as long as he wants; 2 or 3 years at least.
I don't like Buckley's chances of taking on Simmo's role. Simmo is a champion and Buckley simply doesn't get enough of the pill. At the same age, Simmo was averaging twice as many possessions as Buckley. Simmo has a bit of height on Buckley and is an excellent mark for his size. I can't really see Buckley going back with the flight or going third man up to spoil. Then there's the question of decision-making.
I'd say that Buckley would be well down on the list of potential Simmo replacements.
