NORTH Queensland forward Tariq Sims will have scans today on a lower leg injury suffered in Country's 26-26 draw with City and is rated a 50-50 chance to take on the Brisbane Broncos in the Queensland derby in Townsville on Friday.
Sims limped off midway through the second half of the representative match at Dubbo's Apex Oval as City snatched a draw with three tries in the last six minutes.
Cowboys high performance manager and former player Paul Bowman said Sims would have an early morning appointment to have scans on his ankle, with the club hopeful he had only suffered ligament damage.

"The Country doctor thought it might have only been an ANTL (anterior talofibular ligament) tear as well, so it's a possibility," he said.
"It's a painful injury but it's one of the most common type of injuries, but we'll just have to wait and see what the scans show."
A worst-case diagnosis could rule Sims out for an extended period, but Bowman preferred not to discuss what that could mean for the Origin hopeful.
"With Tariq we're always hoping for the best considering what he's been through," he said.
Sims caught a morning flight home yesterday and will have the scans in Townsville, with early indications of foot ligament damage, and not an ankle injury per se.

Sims has been impressive for the Cowboys this season and was solid for Country as he seeks to earn his first State of Origin berth.
The 24-year-old was on the cusp of Blues selection in 2011, when he was invited to train with the squad.
Since then he has suffered a broken leg twice and had recently begun to emerge as a Blues prospect again.
