DRAGONS STILL HOPEFUL OF GETTING SIMS EARLY
Written by THE MOLE, June 9, 2016
THE DRAGONS have secured Tariq Sims’ signature for the next three years but they are still hopeful of getting him to the club this season before the June 30 deadline.
Knights CEO Matt Gidley made no secret of the fact that he would be open to releasing the club’s co-captain early but only if they are compensated in the form of a player swap deal.
RLW can confirm that the Dragons recently discussed the possibility of trading hard-working back-rower Jake Marketo to the club in exchange for Sims’ early release. But the Knights, after consideration, rejected the deal and demanded another player or a higher profile player in return.
The rejected proposal has not deterred the Dragons though as they view the addition of the aggressive Sims as the perfect boost as they look to make a run to the finals.
Reports suggest the Red V could be open to packaging Marketo along with defensive forward Will Matthews.
The Dragons are also looking at some of their younger forwards as a potential option.

I'm against a Matthews and Marketo trade and even WIll on his own.
I think we just resigned Host and sele so which other younger forwards would they be potentially considering?
