I don't he's a plodder.
Like you say though, we doi struggle to get on a roll, but that's because we don't have those two extra props to come on and prove destructive, like Baloo and Fielden in years gone by. These two are big fellas with a bit of pace, and there hard to defend. We lack destruction and impact and I can't see a plodder changing that to be honest.

Dear me - we are opening up the history books now!

Kirk Dixon?

Are you serious? Why?

just putting two and two together and coming up with 5

sykes and dixon both out of contract and with rumors in cas of them signing sykes, given they already have shenton for other berth, dixon could be redundant/wanting too much money. he seems to be playing well this year and would also fill backup kicker role that sykes has.

Cant see anything happening to be honest as dont thinks theres much to choose between dixon and sykes and both are more valuable to their current clubs as they count as homegrown.

Shame on you Terry Monster, for shame.

Nero is a one man legion. Then again I always preferred him at centre too, last year Macca used him poorly all over the field and playing him when injured. This year Macca has learned not to mess about the players too much although I fear he is taking this too far with Deacs

I assumed that you were dealing with the present and most recent signings. It appears I was not the only one.

Still, never mind.

stats suggest theres not much to choose between them. sykes attempts more tackles but misses roughly 20% whereas dixon only misses about 10%. If sykes could improve his defense I'd be quite happy to retain him on this years performances unless someone who's obviously in a different class becomes available.

imo we need to take a look at defense down sykes/sheriffe wing as defensively they are both very week and this is being exploited on a regular basis. Pretty certain coaches have recognised this, would explain menzies remaining there at weekend even when sykes was fit.

Good signing IMO - scores tries and goals for fun, like the Worrloard pre Bulls

WOW, I can't believe people are seriously suggesting we sign Kirk Dixon. The lad is ordinary. Yes Sykes isn't the best player in the world, but he's a damn sight better than Kirk Dixon. We've got to have bigger aspiations in signing players, players like Dixon and Sykes don't really have the skills to trouble opposition IMO. We need a strike centre, or a centre than can make things happen for his winger.

I'd rather us go into the next season with Crookes.

Come on fans, look higher than that.

to turn it on its head. if we dont retain sykes which , who are available without a transfer fee, would you feel we should be looking at?

Spot on, I also took it to mean recent/present signings.

FA is just backtracking to look less of an idiot me thinks.
