Shame it's not on TV.

Chuffed to mint balls it's not on the telly.
I'm not sure how much either pay to wipe a couple of thousand off the gate but it doesn't cover it.

We might get a better share of the 50:50 decisions but other than that I want to see folk through the gate.

Anything less than 9,000 would be a disappointment.

Hopefully hit the 10,000 mark??????

Stand off is a bit of a headache even when Sykes is fully fit.

Could do with finding one, but who I'm not too sure.

Its a shame Briers has signed an extension with Wire, not a long term solution but he certainly would've improved the creativity of the team by 100%.

You are joking not on tv will bump up the crowd

Since we signed Sykes we have played 42 SL games with 19 wins, 22 losses and 1 draw

Games where Sykes has not played - 1 win, 4 defeats
Games where Sykes played at Centre - 1 win, 6 defeats
Games where Sykes played Stand Off - 17 wins, 12 defeats and 1 draw


That tells me that Sykes playing Stand-off for us works, and works well. What about you?

He is the best option currently, but Trinity should still be looking to improve in this area regardless.

I do agree, but the poster who said stand off was a headache even when Sykes is fit is wrong IMO.

It tells me how we play when Sykes plays for us. It doesn't tell me how well we'd do with a new signing at 6.

I do quite like Sykes but I'd prefer to have a more creative 6, but that is a minor gripe. I am happy enough with Sykes continuing if that is what we can afford. He's a solid player.

Our last tackle plays are bad enough without one of the 2 main options being injured. It will screw us again IMO

I agree and I certainly wouldn't have Washbrook at 6 but that's just me. He must be the least creative player in the team! I'd try L. Smith is collis is fit or Wildie/Goulding. Wildie hasn't shone there before but he's got more flair than Washy.

i think having Washbrook on the field help tighten the defence a little bit on the edge. Certainly he is well thought of by the players who prefer him on the pitch than off it. Maybe we need to get Mthers involved a little more in attack whilst sykes is out??

Feel strangely confident.

Not quite the same team without Danny Kirmond. Too many forwards on bench for my liking, think Wildie should have been in the 17 instead of Trout. Well played though competed well.

Do we have a recognised 6 in the club?
