Tariq Sims (born 9 February 1990) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the St. George Illawarra Dragons in the National Rugby League. A Fijian international and New South Wales Country representative, he plays at second-row and lock. He previously played for the North Queensland Cowboys and Newcastle Knights.
Sims played junior football in his home town of Gerringong, New South Wales, before moving to Queensland, where he played in the NYC for the Brisbane Broncos from 2008 to 2010. He was initially a winger, but was told by the Broncos to put on weight and turned into a forward. His brothers Korbin and Ashton both played with him at the Broncos at the same time, Ashton was a member of the first-grade squad, while Korbin played NYC with him. Tariq was the 2010 Toyota Cup season's player of the year, but he left the Broncos without playing a first-grade match. He and Ashton joined the North Queensland Cowboys for the 2011 season. Upon leaving the Broncos, he praised the club's youth system for his development as a player, saying that he was leaving only to get the opportunity to play first-grade football.
In Round 2 of the 2011 NRL season, Sims made his NRL debut for the Cowboys against the Newcastle Knights off the interchange bench in the Cowboys 34-22 loss at 1300SMILES Stadium. In Sims' next match in Round 3 against the Melbourne Storm, he scored his first NRL career try in the Cowboys 34-6 win at 1300SMILES Stadium. In Round 13 against the Canberra Raiders at Canberra Stadium, Sims scored a double in the match. One of the tries was the longest try scored by a Cowboys forward by running 45m to score in the Cowboys comeback 40-24 win after trailing 22-0 after 21 minutes of the match. In Round 25 against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Sims' season ended when he broke his leg in the Cowboys 28-20 win.
