Dear Inside Shoulder (or should that be 'Axe to Grind'), Its not hard to work out who you are hiding behind your snivelling little comments posted on this site. It is almost worth outing you, almost! Clearly you have some knowledge of the Simonsson boy's situation. The fact you knew his Father moved to Canberra for work (in other posts), that he has links to coaching (again posted by you), Bailey's previous Knox School attendance, time at the Gordon club etc. However, I wonder what the readers would think of such a two faced individual who sides up to them in public because their sons are friends but writes this crap about Bailey and his Father behind their backs! On discussing your comments with his Father it was interesting how he immediately nominated you! Being so close to the 'family' as you appear to be, perhaps you should have asked what the circumstances were concerning Bailey's selection on the weekend. But why would you let the truth get in the way of your agenda. Let's not worry about the games, or post one comment on how the teams played, which I assume you watched. Instead lets whinge about the selections over two players.
For the record I am informed:
- Bailey was asked half way through the NSW Schools trainig camp if he could replace an injured player, he drove from Canberra to Sydney that evening to attend;
- Simonsson's Father would not know the selcetors or coaches if he fell over them and your suggestiions of him being selcted for those reasons are way off the mark and insulting;
- I am told Bailey assumed he would play Fullback or wherever they needed him, he didn't really care but was grateful to be asked. He even had a run at 10 when asked;
- Every representative team will have players selected outside the trials that's common practice and common sense;
- Bailey's father has told me that there has always been problems with selections with NSW Schools, Sydney Juniors etc but its not an easy task and not one he has ever been part of;
Finally, your comment about youtubing Simonsson's game against TSC is a classic. I assume you are referring to a missed tackle on the half back? Actually the rest of his game was very good but why would you let that stand in your way of putting the kid down at every opportunity. (Jealousy perhaps). What a pathetic little creature you are (little based on the size of your testicles not your waistline) who can sit here anonymously thowing ill informed criticism around about a 16 year old BOY! Grow up mate! Oh and now his Father knows about the comments I wouldn't be so quick to speak to him next time. I'm sure everyone looks forward to your denials and weasle like comments in reply and how its all about YOU having the right to an opinion!
