Regardless of supporter opinion Sykes is a proven and capable player. Remember the MOM performance he put in against Huddersfield last season?? |

Personally I don't agree. In fact I'd say it's proven he's incapable of playing stand off at Super League level but that's not the point. Where've you got this piece of info from because if it's true it's astonishing.

One swallow doesn't make a summer. I also remember any number of awful performances at stand off that cancel out the one good game he had there.
If Sykes must play then it's got to be at fullback only and I'd have reservations then too.
Sykes put his hand up to play stand off when we had no other options and fair play to him for that but we can play Kearney or Addy there and both would be better than him.
Hopefully this is just a rumour. |

He was at centre against Huddersfield, which is his best position. Even at centre the good games he has had have been outweighed by the bad since the 08 season. Sykes has demonstrated time and time again that he is not a stand off and whilst neither is ideal both Kearney and Addy offer far more in the position than Sykes. |

Agreed, don't want Sykes at stand off. However, I would prefer Sykes at full back to Platt if Kearney is going to be at 6.

I would agree. Sykes also offers a bit more versatility if our injury curse continues on. He is a little more reliable than Addy with the boot as well IMO.
In fact I wouldn't be surprised to see Sykes/Kearney swap between the roles throughout the game. Kearney at FB when we're defending but playing more like a stand off in attack. |

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

All the commentaries are on the Myriad backed up. It's just a pain trying to extract them as the studio PC doesn't have a USB port. It's close to ten year old.

Potter may be looking at who can slot in the easiest. As sykes has not been playing, he could be training at half back, and im guessing addey and kearney have not been. Makes sense for potter to have sykes training there as backup, after gale got injured.
