To be fair to Sykes, was he out of position because the rest of the defence wasn't sliding across quick enough? It's a team game and I think it's harsh to blame one player for the every try down his flank! Don't think he's having a good season though and he strikes me as being a bit of an outsider, with regards to the team, for some reason this season. He doesn't look a happy puppy.



I think we played terrible today and that was across the park, not just one player. It's harsh to judge Briggs' ability on the few games he's played! For God's sake give hime the chance to get some games under his belt! By all account he was good at Feath last year but it'll take time to get up to speed in SL and he hasn't had the best of starts. Same with Herbert, he's come from Aus to play in a new competition and he's spent half the games at the start of the season injured!

WTF has a part-time lad done to deserve to have his name used by you to score points?

What are you on about?

I think Briggs has potential where as Hawkyard didnt.

Hawkyard was asked to step up because the club were in a spot. He never purported to be a full time pro and so to use his name in that disrespectful manner makes you look ignorant and rude.

Your posts make you look narrow minded and thick, but you are neither of them either.

Stop winking, you'll go blind.

The whole side was crap yesterday. Sure Sykes had a bad game but so did everyone. The defence out wide was awful on both sides. In the middle we allowed heaps of offloads thanks to half hearted defending.



Nobody can come out of that game with any credit.

Just watched it back on the sky replay and it was much worse on TV. Sykes was no worse than anyone else. The missed tackle people seem to be concentrating on was one of about 7 in the build up to that try.
