Frustrated JT cuts presser short after Simona questioning

Tigers coach Jason Taylor has cut short a post-match press conference after continued questioning regarding Tim Simona.

Taylor initially told reporters that he wouldn't comment on the Simona issue, revealing he would be releasing a statement later on about the matter.

However his frustration was obvious after one reporter in particular continued to push the matter.

"Let's go," Taylor eventually said to Aaron Woods, as he stood up and departing the press conference.

Earlier on Sunday, Simona had told News Corp that he became a regular cocaine user after first trying it on a Wests Tigers' Mad Monday boat cruise three years ago.

He said his use spiralled out of control and he spent as much as $1500 on drugs some weekends.

He also said he never feared returning a positive test to cocaine.

"Actually I'd been tested quite a few times, and obviously I knew when to take it. In the rep round when we had the weekend off I would take it or if there was a long turn around between games.

"I would take it on a Friday so by Monday I think it would be out of my system."
