What an absolute Penrith legend Royce is very humble about his career he was one of the toughest players ive seen.great leader and inspired the group of young players at penrith to the first premiership.I watched it in 91 at the eastlakes hotel in sydney..ended up on one of the little round pub tables yelling & celebrating with a few mates,one of the best days of my life.. What a competitor Royce was played himself into the ground very game,got a knock in origin,got up & played the ball the wrong way..kept going..this was a great chat with James Graham loved it well done. Might just go watch 91 grand final again..
Royce is a legend of a bloke and footy player. Thanks for getting him on James, such a great yarn. Wish we got to see the Royce a lot of people know when their is no cameras rolling, one of the funniest and happy go lucky personalities you will ever meet. All the best Royce us Panthers supporters will ALWAYS have you in our thoughts and prayers, love ya mate.🖤💛❤️💚
I really enjoyed this interview Jamer. I too young to remember Royce but he's a great storey teller 😂 Its nice that this interview will forever capture a point in time that Royce could recall all of these amusing anecdotes. He's a great story teller. And it is a awesome testament of his character that he is raising money for the condition that will eventually strip him of all this as it has done so many other great old story tellers. It's a very cruel disease 😔
The 13 man import was the equivalent of the salary cap restrictions back then Jimmy lad, so looking at the teams on paper the imports had a asterisk beside their names...few dodgy dealers back then don't worry about that...3 times as strong in the juniors at all clubs too mate , in all districts, quite sad to see. Great having a beer with Roycey at rosehill the day octagonal won the guineas.
James, It's said dementia is likened to an earthquake shaking a tall bookcase. The books on the top shelf go first, then the second top shelf ... the bottom shelf, and then the second bottom shelf. The books that remain because of the structure of the bookcase and where they're placed are those books in the THIRD shelf. Patients better recall the good memories of their 30s. They need to sit and talk with the people who lived those moments and years, when the PATIENT was in his 30s,.with them. And that one person they trusted most in the world - they still trust the most, and need the most. The nicest tribute I ever heard was: "she lived her life in sunshine and in shadow. We acknowledge the shadow over her life and now honour the sunshine that was her life".
Great choice of guest again and excellent as always Jammer. Even when he was coaching The S I used to refer to Royce as Rolge Simmond after his name was printed that way in one of the 86 tour programmes (probably the Saints one). The Hull stuff was great. Helps to make sense about what happened to them. Funny to hear they've always been as well run as it is today :D I was at City v Chelsea too, wasn't a great game but they did an interview on the pitch with some of the Penrith guys, although can't remember who it was, maybe Yeo and someone else. My old man passed away after a period of dementia. It's a tough ride for all involved. Wishing all the best for Rolge and his family.
Met Royce's father In Gooloogong was a top bloke..had buthers shop..a real character...he also had a good greyhound I think was a sire second stage...bit blurry on that ..thankyou for great interview
It seems that Dementia is like cancer. Maybe stress related, bad diet, and of course head clashes, who knows. Wish we knew how to help people not to get it. My mum diet with it and when she finally passed, it was a blessing in many ways. I hope I don't get it and need my family to support me.

What a great panthers, nsw, Australian ledgend great
1991 was the best gf from my younger years
loved the chat Royce
Great podcast
Top yarn! They don’t make em like Royce anymore! Absolute gem!
I remember the look on dad’s face back then he was so proud of being from Penrith and it made his whole year in 91.
Had a few beers with royce last year and what an absolute legend of a guy … exactly how he is in this interview.
I had many beers with him last year too! He still remembers everything from the old days. I'm always fascinated listening to his stories.

Thanks Royce, thank you. Jimmy, you do good also.
Im a raiders fan but a big admirer of the great Royce simmons !!awesome get lads
Yeah can’t forget the awful 91 grand final for the raiders (at least we won the two years before)
Met Royce's father In Gooloogong was a top bloke..had buthers shop..a real character...he also had a good greyhound I think was a sire second stage...bit blurry on that ..thankyou for great interview
James, first of all...absolutely love yr podcast mate. Total respect.
Second, how do I get one of those Bye Round Tshirts?
1991, Penrith's first GF win and Royce's last game, he plays an epic game, scored 2 tries, they gave the Clive to Bradley Clyde in a losing side.
It seems that Dementia is like cancer. Maybe stress related, bad diet, and of course head clashes, who knows. Wish we knew how to help people not to get it. My mum diet with it and when she finally passed, it was a blessing in many ways. I hope I don't get it and need my family to support me.
Bad diet?? What a door handle get a grip
Raiders cheated and broke the salary cap in 1990. Penrith was robbed. Also Royce pushed over Lazarus to score his second try in the 1991 GF
Now that you're getting that 360 money Jammer can you stop plugging the multi-level marketing athletic greens crap to young naive punters?
