Good point. Completely different player obviously but I don’t want to see Simons career here end like Manu’s, that was hard to stomach. Hopefully he hits 300 at the end of the regular season and nudges 350 by retirement. And THERE is your hall of fame Warrior.
Hear what you're saying in that Manu was a club legend who faded away and didn't get the sendoff that his efforts at the club deserved...but to a point that was self-inflicted with the Stupid 6 involvement, and none of us would be surprised if he was one of the unprofessionals Doyle talked about.
Probably moreso a comparison with Pricey, also a club legend who also didn't get the sendoff he deserved because of his foot injury, something he couldn't control.
Simon's so comfortably the greatest Warrior of all-time in my book, not sure if others hold that viewpoint but that would have to make him a Hall of Fame cert at some stage. Something tells me, however, that the unassuming guy he is, not necessarily showcased in the highlight reel, and the fact he's perennially underrated across the Tasman might mean he's a longer shot for the HoF.
By my count, Simon should play game 300 in the final round at home v Canberra if he's on the field for every round until then? Holy shit, imagine that - a Friday night home game to make the 4 (best case scenario) or confirm the 8 for the first time since 2011, and the Manner King's 300th. I'd walk up for that game if I had to, and i live 250km away.
