Sykes, age does not weary him : Tue Jun 24, 2014 9:53 am  

Paul Sykes continuers to get abuse from some sections yet I reckon he's been the unsung hero of the season.

He's tried whenever he's played and single handedly won us the Widnes game whilst his long range penalty calmed the nerves against London. Then on Sunday a sublime pass sets up Lyne to seal the game.

I agree he looks better with Smith but for me pound for pound he's the best signing Agar made and seems to be an evergreen just getting better with age. For a player who was old, passed it and never really lived up to expectation and came for nowt it was shrewd.

I know some won't agree but for me it's take a bow Mr Sykes.

Sykes the last few games has really hit form but is his contract up?

Agree with this, his pass for Lynes Try in the second half was outstanding also.

I think he struggled when playing centre but, back in the halves and especially with Smith at his side he looks good.
Our kicking game (and kick chase) on Sunday was excellent !

Yep, playing well.

I don't think its always down to contract talks why he had a good game its more motivation that has come from Tim that helped him pick his game up

Point is IMHO he was playing well before Smith got back, just wasn't getting credit for it.

I like Sykesy bags of experience and puts in effort every week.

Re: Sykes, age does not weary him : Tue Jun 24, 2014 2:59 pm  

Think he's been a easy target in the past.

Now we are playing on the front foot he's going well.

Good player and has at least another season in him.
