You call it exaggerating, I call it utter bollox.

You haven't made that up either. I recall reading that.

Well, I won't disagree, but I thought i'd put it nicely

Absolute nonsense.

Sykes is a solid player, hard hitter, can pass (abit), can kick and up until a few weeks back I thought he had a fair bit of pace.
However IMO his 'rugby brain' is well below the standard of that required by a top SL player. That game aganst NZ in the World cup was the greatest example of this, but time and time again I see him make dodgy decisions in attack and defence. For this reason he's a player that I just don't rate, I wouldn't want him anywhere near Leeds, not even for his utility value.

Why?

Sykes always gets unfairly judged by his world-cup campaign. He was shifted positions constantly, its hard to keep changing positions each week never mind numerous times in a game.

Powell and Medley were a great combination....but my most abiding memories also as a younger lad were the same.

Eccles was such a small bloke too, but he, Holmes, Harrison and Smith were always my dad's favourite players. I fell for the more obvious talents of Pitchford and Atkinson.

TranslationI have been exposed as a man with more faces that a Grandfather Clock.

A Grandfather clock only has one face.



Not the best analogy now is it?

Mine has considerably more than one.

Then you dont have a Grandfather Clock do you?!

He may not have found his true vocation yet but he's decent lad and doesnt pretend he's something he's not. We all cling to the hope that you do fek off to Dubai and stay there, preferably in jail.
