Blues forward facing Origin ban

NSW forward Tariq Sims looks set to miss the State of Origin decider due to suspension after being charged by the NRL judiciary.

Sims has been hit with a grade two dangerous contact head/neck charge for a shot on North Queensland’s Michael Morgan during St George Illawarra’s win over the Cowboys on Friday.

Sims is facing a two-game ban for the tackle with an early guilty plea, meaning he’d be unavailable for the Blues for Origin III in Sydney on July 10.
