ASHTON Sims says his sole focus is helping Wolves out of their current predicament amid speculation surrounding his future.

The Fiji international is in the final year of his contract with The Wire and told the Guardian before the season’s start that he was keen to stay.

Sims has since been linked to Toronto Wolfpack, but the prop says he is concentrating on the present and improving his own form.

“I’m just focusing on my rugby, the future will take care of itself,” he said.

“It does enter your mind but it’s firmly at the back of it right now.

“The only thing I’m worried about at the moment is doing my best for Warrington and doing everything I can to help us get into that top eight.

“I know my form has been indifferent at times, you can’t really say you’re playing well when we’re down on form as a team.

“We’re all trying our best, we’ve just got to dig our heels in and get back into it.”

A regular starter since joining the club in 2015, Sims has been used as an interchange front-rower of late with Chris Hill and Mike Cooper lining up from the beginning.

The former North Queensland, Brisbane and St George Illawarra man looks to set to play that role again in Sunday’s trip to Castleford Tigers as The Wire look to avoid a fourth straight defeat.

Daryl Powell’s league leaders have won all of their home games in 2017, but Sims says Wolves must arrive at the Mend-A-Hose Jungle with a positive mindset.

He also called on his teammates to fight for one another to turn their form around “It will be a hostile environment, the crowd are right on top of you but we need to thrive on that,” he said.

“You have to go there with a positive mindset, otherwise there is no point us even getting on the bus.

“We’re going to have to eliminate some of the errors we’re making because they are killing us at the moment.

“We’re giving away too many penalties as well and you can’t do that against Cas.

“You have to be right on your game when you go to their place. They are the frontrunners and are playing some outstanding footy at the moment.

“When the chips are down, we need to fight for one another and for the club.

“Our pride is hurt at the moment but we’re looking at Sunday as an opportunity to restore some of it.”

Sims admits the video review of Sunday’s 44-4 thrashing at Huddersfield Giants was “not pretty to watch” but says the team have responded well in training.

However, the 32-year-old recognises that means nothing if they do not perform against the Tigers.

“We accept that we’ve not been performing well enough and that gets us down as players,” he said.

“We’ve had a couple of great training sessions this week that have boosted confidence but we know that means nothing if we don’t put it out on the field on Sunday.

“We’ve reviewed the video of the Huddersfield game and it wasn’t pretty to watch but at times like these, it’s about how you pick yourself up off the floor.

“We’re going into it off the back of a good week’s training but that has been the case for every game. We need to start putting it on the pitch.”
