Spot on assessment far too much negativity on here about our own team that keeps me off here most of the time. Like you say he has uprouted his family to earn good but not life changing money to be here (they are not overpaid footballers we watch) and he puts his all into every game as do each and every one.

Never understood the crap about Waterhouse he was class. What a difference he would have made to the left edge last week. His defence was so unsung.

I like him.. good honest player who puts the graft in... happy with the signing.

Completely agree with 1905. Sims is a fantastic player and brought in at the right time. We need experience and this guy has bags of it. To top it off he is a player who is fan friendly. I brought my godson to his first ever game (5 year old). Sims took the time to talk to him and tell him all about rugby and was instructing me to take loads of photos with him for his school. He even offered him down to training. Now this is what we need. Players who A) want to play for the club and play 100% every time and B) be approachable by the next generation of supporters.

Excellent from Sims to pay such an interest in the fans and taking the time to speak with us.

Haven't seen a bad performance from him yet. Admittedly this is only on the TV. I mean, this could mean he's reserving his energy purely for my benefit. Or equally likely ...

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!

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?
