Absolutely brilliant news. From everything I have heard, Dwyer certainly has the work ethic and determination to inspire anyone looking to overcome an obstacle.

I've grown to really like Freddy over the last few years. I didn't like him when he first came into media after playing but he really gives back to the game and strikes me as the sort of bloke who would give you his last ten bucks because he felt you needed more than he.
The heading for this article should read
"QLD specialist extorting vulnerable injured Tiges boy 10k per consultation"
When will our society wake up to the fact that specialists are raping vulnerable Australians.
The average earning of specialists is north of $2m pa. They are not working that much harder, they don't owe that much in Uni fees…
They can just charge more because people will pay anything for their health.
They should be ashamed of themselves.

This isn't true. What you see in these situations is a guy who is a scammer scamming people. People like that have always existed.
I always feel that gut wrenching sadness when I see articles about Simon Dwyer. I have no doubt he would've been the No 1 backrower in the game now if it weren't for that sickening injury robbing him of the chance to be there. Still, he continues to amaze us all with his will to fight and still achieve at the highest levels in sport and in life. We could all learn from him, I know I certainly need to.
Kudos to Freddy for sticking by him, as well - he's a bit of a goose at times, but he's a goose with a great heart.

Specialists (assuming they are medical professionals) are highly trained and typically help. My kids have to see specialists doctors and they have typically been great.
A healer on the other hand charging exorbitant prices is a con artist.

Fittler is a great man with a big heart and so genuine. Never says a bad word about anyone.
Poor Indictment on our club that we haven't done more to support him. Shud of given him the money we paid the imposter (anasta).
Really the nrl needs to set up a fund to cover such circumstances. Can't believe we don't already hav one, something that has slipped through the cracks when the game has moved on. Just take 5% of players wages matched by nrl and set up their own insurance company.
We all Pay insurance

Simon posted the following article on his FB…
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/09/150918105030.htm
Scientists have developed a first-of-its-kind, 3-D printed guide that helps regrow both the sensory and motor functions of complex nerves after injury. The groundbreaking research has the potential to help more than 200,000 people annually who experience nerve injuries or disease.
Amazing breakthrough....I pray this research is successful and Simon along with many others can benefit from it....
I miss Barb on the footy field... 😢 😢

Sometimes it's hard to believe what is possible with 3D printers. Anyone who is looking to invest money in growth industries.. This is the type, I'd be looking at. I've only just started to dabble in shares. One company I do have stocks in , is a medical research company. It's doing great.
Hopefully a PR company uses Simon to help generate more interest in breakthroughs like this.

Care to PM us mate? I've actually thought about it myself.
No worries Don, cheers mate.
Watching some old footage of this lad…
Is there any current NRL player with a comparable build to this guy?
His frame was close to the most perfect for the second row.
It's unfortunate what happened to this guy because he would have been the greatest second rower to ever play for us... As well an NSW and Aus rep.
Nostalgic thread / discuss.

Saw him flying the drones at training in the TV series the club made this year.
Was such a big loss for the game.
