The dude can't even get a gig in the boxing ring that speaks volumes. Plus he hasn't played in 2 years and as one of his own mates says, Beau Ryan, " I believe at some stage he does need a second chance. “Whether that’s playing? Probably not, to be honest, I can’t see him playing on the field again".

I know we've become a place for a few 'bad boys' from the NRL to resurrect their career but come on.

"Bad Boy" Gregory Bird has done a great job resurrecting his career in the south of France. So why can't Timoteo Simona?

Whether it be in London or Hull is not the important issue here.

As a guess, I'd say because Bird had no time away from the game and he's a far better player.

Resurrecting his career? He has been nothing special since he re joined Catalans, in fact he has been bang average which is far from the player he is/could be, I would suggest more of a extended holiday for him.

Please ignore the wakefield fans. They dont like threads like this because they would never be able to sign someone of his quality

What about probably the best ball handler ever to play in Super League? We signed him twice... that's right Timothy Dean Smith! The same season we brought in Dean Collis former Cronulla Sharks and West Tigers centre, international grade hooker Paul Aiton.

Personally I'd say all three have played at a better standard than Simona and racked up more NRL appearances.

Aye, big signing at the time but didn't even bother breaking a sweat when he played.
