Simpson On Open Market

[reladith]

If he does go i have no problems. He has been one chicken feed for the last few years as the misguided knight board throw wads of cash the way of Reynaldson and Perry et al.

He deserves a 300k contract and if he gets it at Parra good on him! thanks for the efforts you have put in Simmo! Your'e a champion player but most importanlty a champion bloke!

Bit thin skinned methinks!

Mate, you were the bloke that stated he was signed, not me.

If hes signed, as you claim based on YOUR inside knowledge, why all the media print and quotes from his manager about testing his worth.

When I raised this issue you tried to dismiss me citing your inside knowledge.

It seems the deal is far from done, but you know better of course!

Where did i state Steve Simpson was signed?

Inside knowledge, who said?

Pulling things from your ass.

 

[Medievalknight]

Has it from reasonably good sources that he will stay.. ;-)

 

[RABK]

Ha, wait to be prosecuted by the resident forum nuts Dave.

 

[Medievalknight]

I did only say ......"REASONABLY GOOD SOURCES" ..jamie ;-)

 

[RABK]

Won't stop them, I imagine Mr Nuffy will declare armageddon anyway.

Deadset, i think if he broke a nail he'd call his mum for 2 hours to complain and somehow blame it on Knights management.

Now now children try to behave or you will be put into the naughty corner and no posting will be allowed till you learn to play nice...

the article in the SMH that I posted this morning is a bit more positive.

My humble opion is that he will probably stay but will screw the Knights big time for dollars and I have no opinion as to whether that is a good or bad thing....

At the end of the day stay or go life goes on and the team runs on the paddock...

Quickly followed by yet another letter :lol:

Surely if Newcastle had the extra cash to make an offer for Lyon, they have sufficent lying around to re-sign Simpson?

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Simmo has clearly stated he wants to test his value. He simply doesn't want the knights ripping him off financially. Only 2 or 3 clubs have the dosh to afford him and Parramatta are a club in tatters at the moment. If he goes it will be a surprise, but life goes on. No point blaming Perry or anyone else. Perry is on a small contract at the club compared to what he could have earnt elsewhere. My guess, and it is only that, is that Smith will look to next season as a chance to sign available players from other clubs. I think they learnt from the Kirk Reynoldson saga about signing players in a panic. Ironically it was Smith who let him go from Parra I believe.

Simpson's manager, George Mimis, will meet Newcastle today to discuss his client's future.

The New South Wales second rower became a free agent when he played in Wednesday night's Origin decider in Melbourne - his sixth interstate game in the past two years.

That activated a clause in his contract which allowed him to negotiate a new deal.

"He's had lots of expressions of interest, probably half a dozen (clubs)," Mimis said.

"His key goal is to try to do a new deal with the Knights."

I'm getting a bit disappointed with how Simpson- not the club- are handling this matter. It seems as though Simpson was always going to wait until 30 June to test his value on the open market and had no intentions of signing with the club beforehand, regardless of their offer. Surely he and his manager would have a good indication of what his value is without having to go on the market.

He is a very important member of the Newcastle team and deserves to be on a better contract, but it is a bit disheartening when you hear a guy like Simpson declare that he is interested in any offers from Rugby Union- the club and fans deserve better then him trying to jack up his next contract with these sort of tactics. Hopefully the matter is resolved within the week.

in the manly forums it says they got simmo...... surely thats bs

 

[chinorocks]

Just heard a guy on the radio (Hadleys show) ring in claiming Manly are CERTAINTIES to sign Simmo.

Where the hell are manly getting all this cash in the last 3 years they've signed:

Kennedy
Kite
Bell
Orford
Lyon

None of them would have been cheap.

 

[Bicey_18]

Love to know the credibility of this guy.... I cant see him going to manly

That post has dissapeared into the ether for some mysterious reason:? . Yeah I'm surprised we have that much cash, but he'd be a nice replacement for BK.
