If im being honest I would much sooner have Addy and Jeffries. Purely because Addy is less prone to throwing the game away like Sykes. Although I do like Sykes I prefer him at Centre or even Fullback. But he can cost games but on the other hand he could put in a quality performance which he has done before.

By the way Jeffries can kick, he just prefers not to kick.

I'd be fairly sure that selection this weekend will be influenced by who gets the goal kicking duties, and I'd assume that a few have been practising/auditioning for the role. If Jeffries or Addy have looked the part in practice then probably Potter will go with one of them, but if not I suspect Sykes will get the nod (as kicker) and then it's a matter of where he is fitted into the team to best effect/so as to cause minimum disruption.

I hope we can avoid messing around too much with positions, but we [ican't[/i go into a game without a half reasonable goalkicker.

Jeffries kicking to the right hand side is something I'm looking forward to if we've got Whitehead, Purtell and Pryce down that side.

Against Foster

Pyrce, Purtell and Whitehead will have their way with him all day



If Sykes is in the team for kicking he needs to got to FB. He cannot replace Lulia and Purtell in centres and he is certainly not good enough for Stand Off. Addy will then probably go to Loose depending on how fit Langley is although I would prefer Bateman to Loose for this game.

T & A has Sykes at SO and Addy at Loose; I'm assuming that's not just a guess...though I suppose Potter might be just trying to confuse Saints and he has something entirely different in mind...to be honest I give up.

I suspect Sykes will be named at Stand off but Kearney will be in the stand off position in attack but will be defending at full back, we did this against Castleford at odsal last year and Sykes did very little in attack but had a very good game defensively. Having a ball playing loose forward in Addy may also take some of the pressure off of the halves to create.

Yeah that Jeffries is turd not worth paying in washers.
