He is definately elsewhere, but no chance of a Mark Davis type player, Willie is too short....

I was already thinking Willie who? I thought someone might have been searching for "Big Willie" Simmons, go the hook shot.

Respect people, he may have declined in the last couple of seasons but if it wasn't for Willie we wouldn't have won a cracker in '02.

Unfortunately for Willie, being remembered in a poor light is his own fault. It is not that his skills, speed or athletacism decreased THAT much in the last few seasons - it was that he stopped caring ... or so it seemed when you watched him play. True, he delivered a title - so did KB and Darnell, and THEY will always be remembered in a good light, as they played every game with heart and desire. The same can NOT be said for Willie.

Big Willie is over in Melbourne. I ran into him at the Tigers v Dragons clash. He was still playing a couple of years ago for one of the Melbourne sides. I don't know if he is currently playing though.

If Willie is in Korea then he is earning 25,000 USD per month. I would say that he had probably at least doubled his 6ers salary.
I googled willie and got nothing about where he's playing now.
