A totally different player to Murphy. Add to that, if in fact he WAS offered another year, a man who, as much as he probably would have loved to keep playing, knew that his time was up.
No selfishness where Simmo is concerned. He made the right decision, not only for himself, but for the good of the club.
If only Murphy would have done the same.
You are projecting your own biases and opinions on this issue, none of which are relevant. Murphy did not hold a gun to the club's head. He was offered a 1 year extension, not because the club had a sudden attack of the warm and fuzzies, but because they feel he has something to offer. He has done nothing immoral or dishonorable.
It has been posted on here that Simpson did in fact want to play on, but the club said no.
