Funny that i was celebrating my 2nd wedding anniversary with my missus at the casino & i decided to watch a bit of the sydney championships & low and behold Simon Dwyer was at the final table.
Didnt stick around to see if he won but obviously he did.Good on him,hopefully he can make it as a pro poker player cause i can tell ya he wont be gracing the footy field anytime soon as his arm was still in a sling

Considering he had to sell his car in the lead up to his operation, and the medical bills would no doubt not have come cheaply, this is a fine reward for Simon and hopefully he continues to gain feeling and motion in his arm.

Surely he would have medical insurance to cover these costs considering the injury was incurred during a First Grade game of Rugby League???
@Tigersmurf said:
I too would also hope this would be the case? Poor form to let Simon bear the financial burden…

How terrible. He was going to be a star and I was so devasted with his injury. Great to see him doing well in another field, hopefully he comes back as he was one of my favourite players.

Don't be so sure about that guys
Immediate treatment, surgery after the injury should be covered, NRL players don't fork out for knee reco etc. But I don't know about on going treatment and therapy in the years following, given Simons injury he might be paying extra for the best and most extensive treatment there is.

You'd think the club would look at it as investment. If he ever comes back you know exactly where he's going and if he never gets back to 100% he'll have a job around the club when he's not playing poker I suppose.
Here's hoping he comes back, it would be remarkable

Saw him as I was leaving the Dogs game last night. Unfortunately he looks like a shell of his former self, pretty skinny and was still wearing some sort of brace or cast. Obviously to be expected considering the injury he has but from what I seen he doesn't like playing league again.
I hope I'm completely wrong, he had a massive future.
…hopefully he still does. All the best with your recovery.

Whats the latest with him, anybody heard when or if he'll play again. Only reason i ask is cause its gone quiet on the subject and he'd be a huge boost if he was to return. Cheers

Last I heard he had just started moving his arm slightly but really is no chance to get back to the NRL.

Simon won't play FG again unfortunately, but at least he has the chance to move on and live a normal life.
