The fact they didn't name the players is cowardice.
Though the fact they even have the texts is pretty much an indictment on the club.
The players get educated extensively on preventing this kind of stuff so can only think it's intentionally done.
Whoever showed them the texts wouldn't be keen on burning their relationship with the player/s who apparently sent them, so it's not cowardice.
I mean we all know that The West has very little journalistic integrity but even they would know that doing that would all but guarantee nobody tells them anything under condition of anonymity ever again.
If there were texts
If it is true (it’s The West so good chance it’s just crap) then it’s pretty rank that this has been played out in the media instead of behind closed doors.
If some players think Simmo should step away then that’s fair enough - but for it to plastered on the newspaper that the players don’t want him there is pretty shitty for the guy.
Are they disgruntled players not getting a game, or players in the current B22?“The West has also obtained text messages by three current members of the squad sent to people formerly associated with the club saying they no longer backed Simpson as coach. One of the messages was written by a senior star, with the other two by younger players.”
Taken at face value, thats game over.
Or Gaff or SheedWell "senior star" narrows it down to about.....

I don't see how it could be any senior players in the current side, and if it is. Flog act given he's picked them game after game through shit performances that wouldn't stand up in a WAFL matchThis certainly ups the ante though in Simmo possibly getting the bullet mid season if there is another performance like last week in the next week or so.
Almost certain it has been deliberately leaked at this time when the scrutiny has gone back onto Simpson after the weekend.
Needless to say that Simmo’s pre-flight press conference tomorrow morning will be worth tuning into live.
Same reason as Bevo: He won a flag.You’re being paid a million bucks a year to lead and get results, you 100% cop the shit if you’re not getting the results.
I’m ****ed if I know how he’s made it this long.
But you would have to agree that the addition of the glasses make him look a bit more intelligent.Can you imagine Josh Carr coaching West Coast? Some fans might actually microwave their membership
Maybe it's one of the kpd who seem to be sick of bailing the rest of the team out week after weekI don't see how it could be any senior players in the current side, and if it is. Flog act given he's picked them game after game through shit performances that wouldn't stand up in a WAFL match
