Tariq Sim’s Dragons target first NRL win
Sydney: The St George Illawarra Dragons are determined to record their first win especially after two straight losses.
So the fact Gerringong’s Tariq Sims and his Dragons teammates have had to stew on their season-opening defeats for two months and that has made them hungrier than ever. They are determined to break their 2020 duck in round three against the Auckland Warriors, at Central Coast Stadium, next Saturday.
“There’s a really competitive vibe going throughout the whole camp at the moment- we’ve all ramped up the intensity,” Sims, who also played for the Vodafone Fijian Bati said.
“Last Sunday’s session, in particular, was tough and it’s really exciting to see everyone is just as desperate to secure our first win of the season.
“Every game we win is going to count much more in this tricky, shortened season, so it’s imperative we set the tone early as a club.”
