Its always a bit of a gamble, taking a flyer on an aging star and hoping he still has some of it – whatever it was that made him great for all those years – left in the tank. We know what he has done; we wonder what he can still do. Thats the gamble the Saskatchewan Roughriders took this off-season when they traded for aging star Geroy Simon before he was released and free to sign with the highest bidder. Granted the Roughriders gave up little to acquire Simon, sending in exchange the since-released Justin Harper and a third-round pick in the 2014 draft, but they are still banking on him to be not only a leader off the field but a productive player on it as well. Simon leaves the Lions as the leagues all-time leading receiver with 15,887 yards. Hes nearing in on 1,000 career catches and has found the end zone a total of 100 times. But perhaps of more interest to the Roughriders are Simons stats from a year ago. With just 54 catches for 700 yards, it was the first time in 10 seasons the 2006 Most Outstanding Player failed to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving. Of course injuries played a part in Simons subpar stat line of 2012 – he played in only 13 regular season games – but injuries could become a consistent concern for Simon, who missed just three games in the 10 years before last season, as he continues to age. Its worth noting the two-time Grey Cup champion left the only pre-season game he suited up for this year with an undisclosed injury. Injuries aside, at 37-years-old is Simon the type of player that can stay productive even as his physical skills decline? Had he been healthy for a full 18 games last year, his projected numbers fall just short of a 1,000-yard season, one year after collecting 1,350 yards through the air. Simon will never be remembered as anything but a BC Lion, no amount of heroics in Saskatchewan this year will change that. But that doesnt have to be the case for this trade to be considered a success for the Roughriders. Last year Henry Burris moved east after the Calgary Stampeders felt they no longer required the veterans services and had perhaps the best statistical year of his lengthy career. Simons move isnt as far east, but hell be looking to mimic Burris resurgent season. The Rouge asks: Can Geroy Simon still be ‘super in Saskatchewan? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call. Kenny Moore Jersey .

The Sydney Swans are pledging to carry their ruthless edge into the AFL playoffs as they look to emerge from the pack and secure a home final.Currently third with four regular-season games to play, the Swans are locked in a seven-way battle for the all-important second spot behind runaway leaders Hawthorn.Sundays 90-point drubbing of Fremantle pulled Sydney to within striking distance of second-placed GWS and veteran midfielder Jarrad McVeigh admits playing for percentages is crucial in the run to the finals.You have to finish games off, McVeigh said on Tuesday.You know deep down each goal is pretty critical but we havent spoken about it.Its more about the process of playing the game and the rest of that stuff will follow.Conceding late goals even in a big win could be the difference between hosting a home final in the first week in September or having to travel.Or worse still, slipping out of the top four as four measly competition points separate the Giants and eighth-placed North Melbourne.We speak every week of trying to be a ruthless team and, when you are in front, to really put the foot down, McVeigh said.Nothing changed onn the weekend.dddddddddddd It was just getting that process right throughout the whole game because those are the things you need to get in place for the back end of the year - our four-quarter effort.I think that was our best four-quarter effort for the year.McVeigh also admitted it was impossible not to think about the prospect of an all-Sydney showdown in September, possibly even an historic grand final between the Swans and Giants.Its very exciting, he said.Both teams will play finals. Who knows where well end up and we may meet each other at the back end of the year.Well cross that bridge when we come to it but both teams are playing well and looking forward to setting ourselves up for September.First and foremost, the Swans are focusing on Saturdays home clash with Port Adelaide, who may be out of finals contention but certainly not form after romping to their own 94-point rout of the Lions in Brisbane.They played really well at the weekend and we know their best is very, very good, McVeigh said.
