After listening to that review with him wearing the Mike in the game deffo captain for me,showed a lot of passion.

Brilliant stuff....what a Monster !!! Applauded us Leigh fans as well, TOP BLOKE ! Nice words said to Brierley & Emitt also.

Who was the captain yesterday? I thought it was Hill. But looking at the clip on the BBC it was Ashton.

Not sure about the collars! outside the suit!

Well if wasn't captain yesterday he should be in future.

I have been saying for weeks Sims is more of a Captain than Joel, I am so glad he was miked up and what a great bloke he came over as. Even speaking to the Leigh lads after the final whistle shows what a genuine person he is. I wonder where all the Sims haters will go now?

Looking back at the recorded game it was Chris Hill who was leading the team out at the beginning.

Anyone got clip of the sims on the mic from yesterday's game?

I remember thinking Roy was vocal after a few of the tries.

Roy seems to get quite involved and vocal in the warm up too,

Just watched the footage and Ashton must be our Captain for 2016

Great video that, love players who wear their hearts on their sleeves and he certainly does that. Really starting to warm to him now. Along with Hill he is starting to become one of the first names on the team sheet. He was excellent yesterday.

Much appreciated mate great viewing that. Guy seems a natural leader and motivator. Just hope if we do get to Wembley he ain't in charge of picking the suits.

The Beeb deserve a massive congratulations for the mic.

It was good with Peacock, even better with Sims.
As the season has gone on I've become more impressed with Sims.
He started off well and then went down a little with a few on here saying he was a second rower.
The last few weeks even though the team has been playing pants, he hasn't (and neither has Hill).

His punditry on the beeb today was very good and he'll be doing the same in the semis for the Leeds Saints game.
Keep it up both off and on the field Ashton !

Maybe he'll find his true vocation in a male voice choir. Here's hoping.

A nice bit of promo for Sims. He's got tons of passion and a big gob on him. There is a difference between that and captaincy. I do like his aggression. I'm in agreement with duckie. He does need another stone on him (at least). All that "huff and puff" wont improve on size. Hill takes 3 men with him, and still makes a few yards extra. Sims seems to get put down a little too easy for my liking.

Don't get me wrong though, I am a fan. I can't fault his effort.

Good post this Lefty and I think you are right on all counts.

10/10 for that..both for Ashton and the BBC...excellent. He seems captain material on the evidence in the video.

How did he not get M.O.M. yesterday? He was leading all over the park, he even went to acting half-back once.

Wow,he's gone up in my estimation after that. Great to see him praising the young lads on both sides. Great guy.

It's kind of easy to say the right things when you know you are being recorded isn't it.

Roy Asotasi on the other hand gets nothing but criticism from you lot, but he was very good at the weekend again.

One decent game in two years. Deserves a new contract.

I haven't read a single post since the weekend giving Big Roy critique.
He is our secret weapon unleashed.
The Steve Roach of the next millennium.

Yes, he has been well worth his £200k per year on that performance alone. Ok, some may criticise and say is it really worth it when he only plays 30 min max per match but they are only being churlish.

I have counted 6 on this post alone. I think "critique" was the wrong word to use.
