....and then in his last 6 weeks he got it.
Run hard and tackle hard.

Come out like Adrian Morley in his first game for Warrington and give someone the biggest hit of their lives and you'll never do any wrong with the fans.

Be sure to cover your face though, unlike Morley!

Seen Ashton Sims on Friday night in Stockton Heath with Myler, Atkins and the Evans brothers. He was pretty steamed, looked like he was settling in nicely!

It wasn't pointless at all, Ashton will not only be bonding with his new mates he will be planning his escape to Hull KR with Richie at the same time.

Rugby player in off season having fun shocker.

Lay off them, i bet you drink at the weekend too, do i email your boss and tell him, guess what so and so was doing on Saturday...yep, drinking.

He's probably 3 months off a competetive game i'm sure a drink won't hurt.

Aye fair enough if he is not in training.

I do wonder why our RL "athletes" need to binge though.

I'm intrigued as to why such a big thing has been made of Ashton Sims. I'm looking forwrd to seeing him, no doubt, but compare the hype to the lack of the same when we signed Trent Waterhouse.

Waterhouse at the time had played for Australia, New South Wales in State of Origin and even in the City v Country matches down there. I recall Sally Cinnamon at the time was of the opinion that he would be 'the best back-row forward at the club'.

Ashton Sims has achieved little by comparison, club footy and Fiji ( no disrespect, but we know that Australia don't let talent go to the islands lightly ) is where he has played his footy. The club itself, and the Warrington Guardian, has been all over the Sims story ( far more so even than for Daryl Clark ).

Do not read this wrong. I think Sims is a great signing, but I'm nonetheless puzzled by all the headlines.

Ashton Sims is an average NRL journeymen who has had one good season. It just happened to be last season, he may work out at wire, I still recon you would have got more bang for you buck if you signed Kirke or Lovegrove.

Kirke or Lovegrove hmm a difficult choice but I'll go with the clubs judgement on this one.

He's made a great positive start. Why are we so miserable on this site? There's no matches to report on so let's get as much space as we can with such stories. We want to sell season tickets. Perhaps we missed a trick with Waterhouse or perhaps our memories are being selective.

May I be the first ? I'll pay Sims plane fare home myself.

I am excited by his arrival as he looks a physical handful and has a bit of mongrel about him. Our pack lacks this.

Completely agree but yet not completed....

Unlike other signings past since Morley, Sims had made all the right noises and that sits well with me.
That is the difference that makes his signing special.

We've heard little shat from Clark and/or Wheeler who we would generally expect to be key men.
