Across 19 Top 14 appearances, Simmonds shows a steady rather than explosive carry profile, averaging under four carries per match but reliably gaining ground each time he touches the ball.

The consistency across both sides of the ball points to a fly half who anchors his team's structure rather than dominating through volume.
