I agree good signing and think there is more to come. Also think that he would be better off the bench where he can keep the momentum, if we get some, going.

correct sir. Brilliant post!

Re: Sims : Fri Apr 24, 2015 10:35 am  

I honestly think one of the main problems that is affecting us & the game as a whole is the massive step up from under 19 to first team...the gap is too big & the teams trying to bring younger players through are paying the price. The teams that seem to be profiting have more experienced players in their ranks on match day.

Couldnt agree more with 1905, he is good on the pitch never takes a backwards step and runs hard. Sticks up for his teammates when in need which is something that cant be said for other people on the pitch when the going gets tough.
Off the pitch he always has time for the fans and talks as if he knows them and understands them which again is something that cant be said for other players in the ranks.
Game against Wakefield also he vaulted the hoardings after one of the tries to high five a young disabled fan who will probably remember that for the rest of his life! Small things he does but with big impacts...rather like his on the pitch antics if you ask me.

I have bigger concerns around other players rather than Sims!

Someone finally said it!

He gives his all and stands up for his teammates when needed.

His interaction with the fans is brilliant, he lives for the buzz he gets from it you can tell. He's always clapping to the crowd, getting us amped up. Top signing for us.

Got to agree with all the positive Sims stuff on here. If we can roar him on like we are starting to do (is it ironic?) with ROOOOOYYYYY!!!! then who knows it might just do us all some good?

Re: Sims : Fri Apr 24, 2015 12:29 pm  

Sims is giving 100%.
Doing his job.
Nothing to see here.

Now the honeymoon period is over Sims has the good looks but looks too lightweight to be a prop, he is more mobile.....

Sims wants to be the best but doesn't posses the body mass to be so, swapping the pasta and rice for fish and chips and he just might be.

You've mentioned this a few times now.

According the the wire website he his the same weight as hill and just 3cm taller.

He is 8cm taller than Harrison but 7kh heavier.

Westwood has played prop and is 6cm shorter and 8kg lighter than sims.

Jamie peacock is 3 cm taller than sims but 6kg lighter

Cuthbertson is 10cm shorter and 6 kg lighter.

Hes not the biggest prop in SL, but he's certainly big enough in my view.

Great signing so far, the fact that he seems to be a really good ambassador to the fans is just a bonus.

Re: Sims : Fri Apr 24, 2015 2:36 pm  

A good signing does all the right things nothing flashy a good honest forward who's settled in well, I'm happy with the signing.
