Well the Sims brothers are all Illawarra juniors. You can't keep 'em all, and it's inevitable that some of those you let go will turn out to be guns, and some of those you keep will turn out to be duds.
Having said that, I'd dead set crawl naked over broken glass to get Tariq back, even if it meant Ashton coming home as well.
It's not about losing them, that's going to happen and we probably owe the Cowboys for poaching Prince. The point is the Dragons shouldn't try claiming him when he only became the player he is today thanks to Hook.
You can claim Ashton though. ;-)
And to be honest, there's nothing wrong with claiming Sims. He cops a lot of flack for 2008, but I thought he was one of our best in 2009. Will never forget that game he had against you guys in the finals. Poore was like a tackle bag all night. If anything, I'm surprised he hasn't been considered for City/Country. I reckon an Ashton Sims would thrive in the rep. arena, much like a Nate Myles.
