NEWCASTLE have fended off interest from rival NRL clubs and are poised to re-sign emerging prop Korbin Sims for a further two seasons.
Confirmation of the new deal, worth close to $700,000, could come as early as Friday before the Knights fly to Townsville to take on the North Queensland Cowboys on Saturday night.
Sims' new deal ties him to the club until the end of 2017 and will ensure he plays alongside older brother Tariq at the Knights until at least the end of next season.

Knights coach Rick Stone earmarked Sims as the player to replace the discarded Willie Mason as starting front-rower alongside Kade Snowden this season and he didn't disappoint against the big Warriors forward pack in the opening round last weekend.
But he faces another big test in Townsville when he comes up against Queensland and Test prop Matt Scott.
Meanwhile, Stone will make a final call on the fitness of his skipper Kurt Gidley after Friday's training session to determine if he makes the trip to Townsville for the game.
Gidley missed the win over the Warriors with a slight hamstring strain and if he is forced out again, Sione Mata'utia will take his place again at fullback with Jake Mamo added to the squad as 18th man.
