Simpson credits Davis, Riggio, Harding for Swans' resurgence

Saturday, June 28, 2014 - 10:01 AM - by Chris Pike
JUSTIN Simpson has stepped up as a leader in the back-line for Swan Districts this season, but credits the emergence of Ryan Davis and Matt Riggio, and the work of coach Greg Harding as the driving forces behind Swan Districts' stunning form so far in 2014. Much of the focus on Swan Districts coming into the season was surrounding the departure of senior players Wayde Twomey, Brett Robinson, Kyle Hams, Shaun Hildebrandt and Tom Roach, but the result has been the remaining players pulling together and playing with huge passion and spirit. That now sees Swans sit just percentage off top spot with 10 wins from 12 matches this season following last Saturday's remarkable comeback win over South Fremantle at Fremantle Oval with the black-and-whites to regain top spot with a win over Claremont at Steel Blue Oval this Saturday.
