So good to hear Simon is doing well. Great news. Such a young bloke to have such a horrible injury … fingers still crossed for a complete recovery.
Thanks for all the updats Kickme :slight_smile:

Good to hear Kickme. Hopefully he's out soon and can focus on rehab and look forward to Christmas with his family.

WESTS TIGERS forward Simon Dwyer believes his dream of returning to the NRL remains alive after his nerve graft surgery was hailed a success.
>
A cloud has hung over the promising career of the City Origin representative since he suffered a brachial plexus injury against Canterbury in round 16\. After enduring a marathon 16-hour surgery - and a week of recovery time in hospital - Dwyer has been discharged to begin the long road to recovery.
>
''It was good. The doctors found I still had a bit of a C5 nerve still there. They used that and didn't have to cut my legs open, so they were pretty happy with themselves,'' Dwyer told The Sun-Herald. ''It was successful, so we'll wait and see.
>
''I should start getting some feeling back [in my arm] between six and three months. Then you get feeling on from there for up to two years. I won't be playing next year but I might be a chance the following year. That's a good outcome, I guess.''
>
Emerging from surgery ''groggy and with blisters everywhere'', Dwyer is yet to regain any feeling in his arm. The 22-year-old will remain in a sling for the next three weeks but will begin physiotherapy shortly afterwards. Dwyer, a member of Ricky Stuart's Blues-in-waiting squad, said it was difficult to helplessly watch the Tigers' premiership run from the sidelines.
>
''It wasn't the best, especially the loss against the Warriors at the last minute,'' he said.
>
Dwyer had researched several radical therapies and even contemplated a stint at the renowned Mayo Clinic in Texas. ''Mainly, all the guys were talking about the same thing,'' he said. ''Going overseas, it would have been a similar surgery. They mentioned a few other things that didn't add up, I did a bit of research on them and there was no proof.'' Asked if he believed he could play and regain the form that had him tagged as one of the brightest young forwards in the game, Dwyer said: ''Yeah, I do. If I get my strength back.''

The Ingleburn Bulldogs junior made special mention of Tigers coach Tim Sheens, manager Gavin Orr and his former Magpies lower-grade coach John Jacobs for their support.
