Playing career

Simpson played in St. George's final game before they formed a joint venture with the Illawarra Steelers to become St. George Illawarra. A semi-final loss to Canterbury-Bankstown at Kogarah Oval.[2][3]
Simpson's final game in the top grade came in round 26 of the 2003 NRL season as St. George defeated the Brisbane Broncos 26–25 at Suncorp Stadium. The match was remembered for St. George player Mark Riddell kicking a penalty goal from near the halfway line to win the game before the full-time siren.[4]
