100% he will leave for sure some club will snap him up
Nonsense. Based on what? Do you have any idea what is said behind closed regarding Simpkin and how he is regarded by the club?
Harry Grant played one FG game when he was 20. He was 21 by the time he played his second and he was 22 before he had his first full season with us. Get some perspective...

Grant was stuck behind arguably the greatest player to ever play the game.
Simpkin has Mbye in front of him.
Yes I’m sure his time will come but hopefully it’s sooner than later.
simpkin has Mmbye and Liddle no immortals or international players there
if Penrith or Titans come looking you would sign for 2023 and kick stones
it has happened to us with Aloia and matterson, and Mitchell moses
if we play simpkin on the bench in place of mmbye it takes away his incentive to look
We don't know what goes on behind closed doors, and I'm sure the club would have a plan and pathway for Simpkin, and have communicated this to him. Imo better to have him gain experience and confidence in NSW Cup rather than throw him into an ill-adjusted team. Poor Harry looked completely exhausted by the end of last season as he was essentially carrying the whole team, as a rookie! Simpkin would likely suffer the same fate at this stage.
I doubt Simpkin is thinking that we won't use him, and it seems likely we'll see him in the side sooner rather than later. Just better it be that most of the other players in the team are half competent at that stage.
With Friend retiring Easts are another club that may chase Simkin.
