[edit] Clint Newton Incident

In a 2004 match against the Newcastle Knights, Sims was returning a goal-line drop-out when he was smashed in the face by Clint Newton. He suffered a cut below his mouth and mild concussion, but returned in the second half. In turn, Newton was sent off and did not return for the season.
