So do I.... I know Simon... and know his family.... they are a really great bunch of people and don't deserve this.

Simon and his family have been around the Cadishead Rhinos for a long time... and the feeling within the club is very sad at the moment.

The Cadishead Rhinos juniors are playing in the curtain raiser to the game on Friday... so it would be quite apt to do this.

Lets hope if they do then the effort is better than last time

Yeah, they said they were going to do the minutes silence the week after they botched it up. I was listening out for it at the Catalan game and they never did it. I thought it was quite bad of them. I for one hope they do a minutes silence. My little brother is in Afghan at the moment and it really brings it home to you, it's that bad at the moment I can't watch or listen to the news. The lads out there are doing an amazing job, don't get me wrong I don't want them to be out there, but my brother and his mates out there just get on with it.

RIP Simon, god bless.

Another one of our boys killed this time one of our own
god bless simon i am sure your wife and family were so proud of you
lets hope the streets of salford are full for this lads funeral to pay our final respects to him whether you knew him or not

Coming from Cas where we've had the two recent funerals of local lads my sympathy goes out to his family & friends. RIP.

RIP Simon

a real Salford Hero, just shows we moan about nothing really compared to what some of our young kids are doing today, tomorrow and for years to come.

Simon was truly a great bloke. Was lucky enough to be in the same class all the way through high school. He got married in February and was the happiest he has ever been.

So, so tragic and as a Salford fan ( along with Cadishead) it would be fitting if the club could do something for this hero

RIP Annis, gone but never forgotten

It's very very sad,

I don't know about anyone else but when you see programmes like Ross Kemp: I was astonished at how professional these very young men are and how they go about their business.

The poor families.

We have had our two lads in the forces and have got another family member currently in Afghanistan. It must be awful when you get that knock on the door.

It makes us realise how fortunate we were that it never came to knock on our door.

RIP
