Yes, it was reported on the Pete Green injury report last week that Geyer had fractured a thumb in training & would likely be back in around 4 weeks after having had surgery and rehab.
Penrith Panthers and Wests Tigers will play for the inaugural Royce Simmons Cup this Sunday at CommBank Stadium.
With Simmons having close ties with both clubs, the perpetual trophy has been named in his honour, and will be played for each year.
The inaugural match will be held at CommBank Stadium on Sunday, while home grounds will alternate each year.
The premiership-wining Hall of Famer played 238 games across 12 seasons for Panthers and later coached the club for eight years. He went on to spend eight seasons at Wests Tigers as an assistant coach to Tim Sheens, helping the club win its maiden NRL premiership in 2005.
Funds raised at the game will be directed to the Royce Simmons Foundation to assist with further research into dementia.
Simmons was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and he managed to raise close to $600,000 through Royce’s Big Walk – a 300km journey from Gooloogong to Penrith.
TOSS THE COIN
One lucky fan from either club will have the chance to toss the coin before kick-off with funds raised going to the Royce Simmons Foundation.
The successful bidder will keep the commemorative coin which has been produced for the match, as well as meet both team captains and be a part of the official match-day photo.
Bids for the coin toss can be made until 12:00am AEST on Friday, 15th July 2022.
Thanks Steve and what a wonderful way to celebrate Royce in perpetuity.
Let alone it is a for a great cause but Royce deserves all good news that can be brought to him.
the left side look clunky because IMO there is no Lauai out there
That being said we have enough forward firepower to be bashing this mob. They are a very ordinary squad and deserve their place on the ladder…maybe Ivan needs to remind all who are playing we are leading the comp because of how we execute.
Process and patience should be key int he 2nd half
There’s blokes in there given an opportunity to show what they’ve got. That ain’t happening. In their minds " I’m only filling in" . Test yourselves !!!
We have been the better team by a long way. Unfortunately they are executing near the line better, hence the score line. We really should be 12 or 18 up.
Is Charlie Ferrari contracted to the NSW cup team next year cos he certainly shouldn’t be contracted to the first grade team. Now I’ve said that he will doubtless score a treble in second half. Well we can dream!!
