Sometimes it's hard separating the wheat from the chaff, especially when there's that much chaff being spouted.....

You're mixing local press reports, with official club announcements. We still announced him before Penrith.

Thanks for the effort Ashton. Didn't possess too much talent but his motivation no doubt helped us scrape some wins when they looked in doubt. Will be remembered fondly. Shame to see him go, i expect to see other names out the door if he's one.

Actually Sims did an immense job along with Hill last season, effectively the only 2 front line props we had. Always put in a shift and compared to some of our "big name " prop signings been v good value.

^^^^ this

Sims has done what has been asked of him and what he has done al his career, we knew what we was getting not a player that will be a wrecking ball but someone who offers a fast play the ball off loads and is deceptively strong ohh and 100% commitment and effort !!

I don't think there's a game he has played for us where he has not given his all wether that's good enough or not is just an opinion but we've had good value from him and he is just a great rugby guy who I'm sure will be misssd by the players too !!

I also think hill has looked at his best when both he and sims are on the field together they complement each other well.

Anyways I'm sure he will be in a promotion winning Toronto team and back in SL if he continues.

We will miss Sims, been solid, dependable and committed. Wish him well for the future.

You quite often find now that Super League clubs announce signings around 9pm, to fit in with the Australian media.

Great bloke, not the wrecking ball we were hoping for but always gave his all. Good luck at Toronto, another great life experience for you and your family.

Well promoted by Toronto. We could learn something from them.

This.

Do you not think we could get a player on a lot less wage with the same attributes and contribution though? He came with a lot of hype, got us all excited, and in the end was an average SL prop, with great hair, huffed and puffed and who liked to tread on fingers.

Well we certainly had a prop or 2 with a much bigger reputations (and presumably wages to match) who produced far less.
