| Given that this is a squad game and we have a long season ahead of us AND that Sykes has terrific utility value, I think this is a very astute signing; particularly if Bradford are paying part of his salary.
Good work.

| Walshaw didn't look too shabby in the leeds friendly when he beat the leeds defenders and then made a poor pass inside. Mellars isnt exactly lightening is he?

No one is saying he can't play Centre it's just the general consensus is that he will eventually be a S/F and a good one to boot.

| Happy with this, good as John has been with the boot in the last 2 games he clearly isnt a natural specialist kicker in the same way sykes is. We're hardly gushing with ability in the centres, although Mellers has had a good couple of games Collis doesnt look up to much at all based on the little time he has had.
Give him a run at centre, dont think he is too good at 6 from memory.
Welcome aboard lad.

| Think that's harsh on collis. Makes decent yards in the carry and can defend. Collis looks to be able to utilise the step well. Think we will see him come good.
Not broken any pots but been decent all the same, also struggling with a hamstring injury.

| Not sure Collis has been fully fit since the start of the season. A rest will do him good.

| Paul Sykes at Wakey, hope we can get Elima when fit and I'm in heaven. On a serious note I think Sykes is a great addition to the squad as so far Collis and Mellars have just been happy to do enough knowing competition is limited.

I don't think thats true of Andy Raleigh, always very popular at Huddersfield, my recollection is Giants fans telling you that you had a good un there.
We could certainly have used him at KR last week.
As for Paul Sykes, suddenly you have a lot more options across your backline, more than just cover IMO. Perhaps a back version of Andy Raleigh, often not really appreciated but an unsung player who makes the team better.

| Mellors and Collis in my view have performed well with Cockayne and Fox in support.If the Wakey board want Sykes who are we to judge them yet when all the pre season signings have not let us down so far.

Fair point about Raleigh, maybe I misunderstood but I seem to remember some comments about him not being good enough for a prop.....either way, I like him, I'm glad you gave him up.

| If the bulls went into admin I think he would become a free agent , and free to sign for who he wants .

| What games have some of you lot been watching lately, Collis & Mellors have been great in the last 3 or 4 games which is line with our upward surge in recent form.

| Collis hasn't played in the last 1 1/2 games due to bad hamstrings and is missing this week as well?
