Totaly Agree!!.....An English player in and around the National squad who can play in numerous postions and Kick...It was no brainer that we extended his contract.... I admit he may not be a Greg Inglis (who is in the uk) but he does show some passion on the pitch, ive seen him giving the young lads a right mouthfull if there no pulling their weight on match days!!

More to the point, why did we give him a 3 year contract? Because this scares me thinking of who else might get a new contract!!!!

Ideally he's cover for a few back positions. Unfortunately he's being played as the main creative halfback. That's not his fault, but it means he'll make mistakes like the awful pass he threw at the end that should have been the winning assist. Also the intercept he gave in the 1st half was a bad un.

However, his kicking drives me mad sometimes. Is it possible for him to avoid booting the ball out on the full so much? He's done it for years. If he can't stop it he shouldn't be taking the kicks.

He can kick it out on the full but then not find touch, go figure. We need a Hypnotist or a Psycologist to get their hands on the Team over the next 2 weeks to try to convince them that they are Rugby League Players!

It's still the sensible option, to keep a home-grown player who can play various positions signed up, but i wish it was only 1 year.

I think when potter comes sykes will probably be used as a ulility player and nothing more, mind you it doesn`t really help when when half the players are not playing in their positions - due to injuries etc like sykes is defintely not a stand off
