Newcastle Knights coach Nathan Brown believes Tariq Sims has been the target of "unfair criticism" following his decision to leave the club for the Dragons at season's end.
It was announced right on full‑time of the Knights' heartbreaking 20‑18 loss to the Eels that Sims had signed a three‑year deal with the Dragons.
Speaking in the aftermath of the defeat Brown said the Dragons' offer determined the value the off‑contract back‑rower – a value the Knights weren't willing to match.
The Knights will face the Cowboys at 7.30pm Saturday.
