Probably because he is one of the best wingers in the game at the moment. Easily in the top 5.
Don't start hating because he's in better form than Stapleton.
Simmons is making his tackles, taking his kicks, breaking tackles, reading the plays, gaining try assists and scoring tries. Exactly what you want your winger to do.
Simmons>Stapleton
The wingers for the panthers take the first hitup after receiving the ball from a kick, usually it's Simmons as the opposition target Mansour/Robinson/Roberts. So the guy is more than likely taking the first hitup of most sets. The guys is also coming second in the NRL for line breaks and 5 of them are from him breaking through tackles from a hitup and running 20-30 meters.
Something Stapo fails to do.
Lolz, want some preparation H for that butthurt?
Simmons 6 doubles this year, Stapleton
