Did you ever see Simpson shirk the issue and not tackle? Did you ever see him not go in hard for the ball head down, putting his body on the line every time. And the bloke was one of the skinniest players to ever pull on a boot.

A totally different player to Murphy. Add to that, if in fact he WAS offered another year, a man who, as much as he probably would have loved to keep playing, knew that his time was up.

No selfishness where Simmo is concerned. He made the right decision, not only for himself, but for the good of the club.

If only Murphy would have done the same.

It has been posted on here that Simpson did in fact want to play on, but the club said no.

In his pre game interview, it was fairly obvious his meetings with the coach didnt go to his liking. He stated that when he was asked what he wanted to do, he said "I wanted to go on". But then after discussion with coaches, he decided it would be best to hang up the boots. So clearly his idea of "going on" and the clubs were different.

@bignic
Ill play
Simmon averaged 2.61 tackles a game, 6.02 CP's
Murph is averaging 3.59 tackles a game, 9,51 CP's
What say you?

footage of those tackles?

Since this topic is still going, I said it in my original post, and I will say it again.

At this writing, yes, he is best 22. Whether he is next season will depend on trades, injuries, and how quickly the kids on our list get to the level required. If all three work in our favour, Murph may be a back up and play only a handful of games.
