He doesn't like what the club is doing in the community, so the answer is to go to a club that is hated by the community?

Seems a bit odd and just a rumour so hope it's not true.

SST tonight said that Newcastle is looking at signing Matt Simon and that Matt Simon is considering it because he is unhappy with the direction the club is going in the community.

From memory at least, SST isn't exactly the most reliable source in Australian football... I would be saddened to have to eat my words, but I don't see it as very likely either, so here goes..
Of all of our players, I REALLY struggle seeing Matty going to Newcastle... The way he feels about our club and the way he plays against Newie, it just doesn't make sense, irrespective of how he feels about the current club management.
Not to mention how he would be received up there! Him OR Hutch... I just don't see a situation where they'd ever even make it on to the field without fearing for their lives (perhaps an exaggeration, but you get my drift)

Not to mention that he'd never be able to show his face in East Gosford again ;)

He is always welcome at East Gosford THAI MASSAGE.

Personally I can't see him becoming a Scummer.
We are all worried about the way the club is being managed but I don't see Matty jumping ship.

if Matt Simon went to the scum I'd start prepping for doomsday, for surely the world would have turned upside down

also - if a clubs direction and management was enough to make you consider moving club who in their right mind would think newcastle's the place to go? that's like an albino deciding to get out of the heat of france al by moving to qatar

The guy who said this rumour is a player agent. Same agent that is Sainsbury's, Arnie, McBreen etc... At best I even if the Newcastle part is untrue I think there validity to the fact that Simon isn't happy.

Article in 442 that Griff is trialling with Kansas in the MLS. Thought he was injured ? I guess the club are trying to offload him.

we have a very short time left for shopping and need a cb, a winger and a striker it seems
With the short time frame i would settle for Jalliens at CB (experienced,good on the ball, will help younger players develop), Jeronimo and Williams. Not sure any player movements will happen in the short term at the Jets and even if there is any truth to the Williams rumour.

he's useless these days, let him join a useless club.

So... Are you not watching the games because of the whole Charlesworth thing? Or is it something else, like a general refusal to follow football as a whole, but still post on football boards? ;)

Matty's been one of the handier players this season, all things considered.
Comments like this one, seem to stem from much the same place as the back-pass thing for Hutch, who could play as a goalie and still be accused of passing it backwards... It's the sort of thing that, somewhere along the line, became accepted as 'conventional wisdom' in the Australian football community and so, it has never been reviewed.
Matty hasn't been as prolific in the last couple of games, but from memory, he's still averaged at something like a goal for every two games he started, this season... That's a respectable strike-rate, all things considered.

At best I even if the Newcastle part is untrue I think there validity to the fact that Simon isn't happy. Having said that I'm not sure he would get another contact anyway at seasons end. I think the league has past Mat Simon by.

Rubbish.

SST has been right on on all things ccm in the last couple months to the point they are talking to someone in the know.
Hutch retiring
Hutch no job
Everton p/ship
Fabio not sure if they were on that?
Griffiths trialling in usa

You name it they have said before it has happened in last couple months.

If Matt Simon says he not happy with CCM we should give him more credit he loves CC. I take it as a sign the North Sydney thing would get under his skin the most and the most logical place to play without moving is newy.

I think Matts been great since he came back this year. He was excellent vs MV at North Sydney and changed the attitude of the team in a game we thought we'd get spanked ( we did in the end but not in the fashion we thought)

Someone (can't remember who) finally slipped him a through ball on the carpet into the box and all I remember is him ripping the net with a beauty of a strike
