All those games he played for the Cowboys in the front row; clueless NRL coaches.
Yes because he never played 2nd row in the NRL at all did he?
Just look at how effective he is/was when he ends up on the edge of the field like Vs Les cats at the start of the season. His offload game which is clearly encouraged would be far more deadly in the second row where he'll have an option to offload to a centre, a half, a hooker or winger.
Just because he played there for NQ doesn't mean he couldn't do a good job in SL in the back row.
Sims is a pretty decent passer of the ball & is solid in defence & i too think he would be better as a ball playing second rower than trying to break through the line as a prop which he clearly isn't big enough to do.

He has the right height and build for the second row too. He isn't going to charge in and bust a tackle at prop. we know that. as a 2nd row hitting a line with a bit of space to work in he could be far more effective.
I think Sims would struggle with the defensive effort wider out. I also hope Jullien plays a part on Friday.
Wouldn't hurt to give him 15 minutes. start with Hughes on the bench. That might give jack a gentle kick up the booty. He's way off from the player he was last season.
Understandable with his best mate being Dom but if his head isn't in the right place he shouldn't be playing.
Last year I'd agree but Sims has upped his game at prop and he's okay. He has a role to play and whilst not braking down doors he's at least knocking hard on them and running off! Whilst I wouldn't automatically extend his contract, he wants to remain a Wire and that will argue in his favour for next season. See, I'm not a Sims basher, all I want to see is commitment, passion and improvement. He fits the slot.
