Despite attack, Simon Tayoun remains loyal to Canberra Raiders, plans to return to Belmore. Shattered but supported.
It will take more than getting hit in the head with a stick, while being surrounded and intimidated by Bulldogs supporters, to stop Simon Tayoun from supporting his beloved Canberra Raiders.
And the man known as the Raiders drummer has vowed he will return to Belmore in the future - despite the ugly scenes that occurred after the Canberra-Canterbury game on Sunday night.
Tayoun was left shattered by the incident, but the well-wishes he received from the rugby league community - including a phone call and apology from Bulldogs chief executive Aaron Warburton, as well as messages from the Raiders club and players - lifted his spirits on Monday.
