According to Dave nosey Parker Sykes has not been offered a new contact for next season!

Sykes is our highest on missed tackles list.

But that usually means he's making a lot. That will be missed at half back.

I personally don't rate Sykes that highly and a bit like Richie Moore, I am indifferent as to whether he stays another year or not.

Can hit hard in defence but makes poor decisions near our own line in defence and is only a makeshift half for me.

Smith and Sammut could be a good combo going forward. With Smith controlling the game at 1st receiver with those good short passes and kicking game, and Sammut at second receiver running riot a bit wider. No shortage of flair and excitement with those two. I hope they gel together.

I'm deffo more pro-Moore.

Sykes is really past it. The Watkins try for Leeds was typical of Sykes's failings against the speedier backs.
Many times they run through/past him 75 metres out for the initial break that ultimately creates a try.
