    Bailey Simonsson is still pinching himself

    Bailey Simonsson is still pinching himself


    The Canberra Raiders utility back has made 17 NRL appearances in his rookie season after earning a contract in off-season, following stints in rugby with Bay of Plenty and the All Blacks sevens.

    Simonsson says when he was training in the pre-season his initial goal was to just play one reserve grade game, let alone 17 NRL matches.



    Simonsson will start at fullback for the Raiders against the Warriors this afternoon.

    Kick off's at 5pm in Canberra.
