John Simon. I thought he was bloody good in a pretty poor team.
John Simon played very well for the Warriors during the short time he was here.

I must have been influenced by the fact that when he was here the Warriors were playing like shit in front of declining crowds and he scored TWO tries in 32 games and in 2000 the club ended up 13th out of 14th. He must have played really well, especially as he was a co captain. Just saying like.

The game we thrashed the Knights 44-0 or something similar in 1999, John Simon was captain, he was sensational that day.

I remember our whole team being crap at some point. But my memory of John Simon was he was a great captain and i liked his long kicking game.

He had some good games but not many, i was a big fan and was excited when he signed for us. He was awesome for Illawarra, then not bad at Eels but got a bit porky, then seemed to lack enthusiasm here.
You and bruce must of went to the same school in 1805. Old age = memory loss
He was a pretty handy player. Defensively & Offensively.

He was a handy player but had played his best years. He was the Blake Green to Stacey Jones at the time. Dude had the skills and vision but was out of shape and had lost his speed.
2000 was a miserable year for the club. Jones was injured at the start of the season so Simons was paired up with Robbie Mears and Ben Lythe in the halves. I remember Ivan Cleary playing centre while Cliff Beverley was getting smashed at fullback. Team was stacked with players who in all fairness probably should have never played NRL if it weren't for Graham Lowes genius development plan of plucking players straight out of the Fox Memorial competition (something the current owners look to want to repeat
). Im talking about Cliff Beverley, Talite Liava'a, Ben Lythe, David Mulhall and Scott Petherbridge. Then you add in the past there due date players like Tony Tuimavave, John Simon, Lee Oudenryn, and Terry Hermansson as well as the journeymen like Jason Bell, Scott Coxon, Jason Death, and David Myles and its little wonder we sucked...

Check it out, 2000.
The year started well but just got worse ... the crowds are an indication of this too. Compare the first ro7nd crowd vs the latter crowds.
