I'll ask this question once again, just who at the Bradford Bulls ahs given Sykes another three years?
Because reading everything on here and speaking to you all at games, not one is happy with this.

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

Utility player = not particularly good in any specific position but equally average all over the field.

I remember when Sykes was at the Quins, playing in the centres, and was on fire. But then he got a serious injury - something to do with his stomach or kidneys I think - and that took something out of him.
On reflection, I have no problem with us keeping him on to act as cover, but using him in the halves or even as a first choice centre just isn't acceptable. His defence isn't good enough for any position, he lacks the creativity for a halfback, and if Ian Kirke can catch him then he clearly lacks the pace for a centre.

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 |
