OFFICIAL Simon Dwyer [Discussion]

[happy_tiger]

Simons injury was just a million to one freak injury

Really was a shame he was getting a lot of consistancy in his game and had the world at his feet

 

[pattyferg]

Pretty glad he is still in the mix at tigers. Really good by the club.

So sad loved him, was really good and him siro, and woods would've been a magical combination

Dam shame. Sickening for the youngster

 

[cunno]

I often see him sitting in the coaches box at home games, glad to see the club keeping Simon involved.

He's also quite the poker player, winning a competition last year which netted him around $50k. Glad to see he is still involved with the Tigers and I wouldn't discount him from perhaps getting into coaching further down the track given he spends a lot of time around FG coaching staff in the box during games.

Absolutely tragic :frowning:

Dunno if you know this but he was assistant coach for the City Country game I believe. He's already entered into that role :slight_smile:

Sorely missed on field. Great he is still involved in WT.

Whenever I think of poor Barb, it really puts things into perspective re: RL & WTs


Ink, that right there is one of my all time faveourite rugby league moments not just Wests Tigers.

Brilliant hit that should've won us that final!

Simon would undoubtedly have had to endure many very dark moments, but what a positive attitude he is able to show. How could anyone wish him anything than the very best.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Real Sad
Havent we lost 2 of the best there were due to injuries
Simon and Tuks .. If they were still wearing WT colours ….....................................

 

[Knuckles]

Yeah inspirational …. Great to see the club supporting him in his new capacity.

 

[innsaneink]

I saw him at Smithfield RSL last week with some mates…arm still in a sling

Should of won us a GF in reality

still? that's horrible…. can't believe something could happen like that from something so innocuous. especially when you see GI hitting dean young or Sisa Waqa landing on his neck where the guy is taken off in a neck brace but ends up playing FG pretty quickly after that....

:frowning:

 

[phil1986]

Yeah still in the sling, I see him at the gym, still working hard on everything he can,

Poor bugger!

On the bright side, he still loves his poker!

There's instances like what happened with Dwyer and Tuiaki; and I just think how. How do these injuries happen and why can't they heal like other injuries? It's just really unfortunate and why those with the talent that make it, shouldn't abuse it.

[Cultured_Bogan]

He's taken the hand dealt to him and made the best of it. Good effort by the club to keep him involved.

Another player that could have gone on to be anything cut down in his prime.

 

[cqtiger]

I'm sure other clubs have their sad stories but I think we've had our fair share.

Going back, I think Geoff Starling is one of the saddest. A young international struck down with a medical condition which I believe took about 20 years to be properly diagnosed.

However, it is good to see the club helping out with Simon.
