Tariq Sims

[mickeylane]

Dragons have already paid $450k of Sims contract this season , unless we are looking at someone else long term that we sign this year (nikora) in place of Sims… he won’t be leaving early…nor should he!! We need him.

 

[dragon thomo]

I agree that we keep him this year. I would pick him on the bench this week for the Penrith game.

Who the hell would want to live in Melbourne?
Surely it’s just testing the waters of his value for 2023 only.

I lived there for 2 stints of 4 years. Worst place on earth.

Is it any wonder half of Melbourne have relocated to QLD.

 

[Inisai Toga]

Sims wanted to stay at the club. I hope he stays for 2022, produces his best ever form and then both parties reach a deal with him staying on with the Mighty Red V.

Didn’t he want to stay (for a longer deal) than the club wanted to offer him? I believe the club was right!

 

[Illusion]

It might be just what was needed ..... Now a spot back in 1st grade , might be the kick start needed .....

 

[Walpole]

Being reported after last nights injury calamity of losing 3 players long term (Welch, Smith, Jennings) Storm are going to ask Dragons to release Sims immediately to sign 2 year deal.. I HOPE HOOK TELLS THEM TO f**k OFF!

It's the only acceptable response!

It's the only acceptable response!

100%

 

[Old Timer]

On the basis they are supposedly looking at TS for 2 years and if possible the smart play IMO would be

Do a deal now for half his salary.
He can only go when Moose is back from suspension.
We don't use TS unless injuries force the situation.
TS is not allowed to play against us in any games this year.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Not a peep out of MEL for Simms before their injuries.

Long-term reader and non-contributor here. The thoughts of giving Bellamy & Co a leg-up has me sick to my stomach. I'm disgusted by the thought of helping those pricks. Let them suffer I say. I'm worried as the club has been slow to make a 'hands-off' statement.
If we insist on giving them someone let it be Moose (he's a liability and off the park half the season anyway), or Alvaro who is one of these journeyman players that the so called super-coach can surely turn into a superstar.

Welcome to the mad house ......

 

[Gardenia]

Maybe a player loan swap for 2022 Sims - Grant

Hmm is he uninjured? Sims is a beast when he is on.

Agree 100%!!! way to kick us in the guts. They had better not do it.

 

[Gardenia]

Why the hell would we release Sims to the Storm.
They had the whole off season to show some interest, now after paying him all these months to nurse an injury he is finally ready to start playing......
Its too late now for us to find a replacement.
We have a few injuries and suspensions ourselves with Burgess also underdone.
If they want one of our forwards, we could choose which one....mabe Alvaro or Faamasili.
Storm should have thought about depth instead of signing all their rep players and now they want to find a quality forward on the cheap.

I agree. If they dont tell the Storm to get effed aahh grrrr. Time to write some letters to Dragons Mgt.

Damn straight. You need to comment more often.

 

[hewi]

I agree....with McQuires loading at the judiciary hes only got to fart in the scrum and he will get 3 weeks so along with Burgess, Wood etc we could end up being very thin as the season progresses....and besides stuff them they've never done us any favours....out of the goodness of my heart the only transfer I would do right now is give them McCullough for Harry Grant.....I'd even drive down there myself as a self appointed Uber driver to arrange the transport....and petrols $2.20 a litre

If you went via Costco you could save 20 cents a litre PLUS il chip for some of the fuel for you.

 

[BIG RIG]

Buzz Rothfield on 360 says that Sims will not join Melbourne this year and may be in the team this week against Penrith

 

[2010Dragons]

Two second rowers are suspended until round 6.
plenty of possible other injuries and suspension to our other second rowers. Tell bellyache he is dreaming and suck shit you cheating merkins.
