Lets be fair though, Ben left for his own reasons and with the new rules coming into place wasn't Sykes the best option?

Evans was a better option, but thanks to them not changing the rules until he'd already signed elsewhere, we couldn't keep him.

It was not so long ago that many on these very boards were slagging Ben Harris to high heaven. Now look.

Yup. I was one of the few arguing for Ben, always rated him as a good player, couldn't really see why everyone else didn't.



Although saying that, I was also the one usually sticking up for Scott Naylor, and they're a similar type of player.

Same here. I always liked both of those players.

We used to have a Scott Naylor pass-stake before every game. Think he did 2 in one game once.

Ben Harris solid but no pace give me Nero anyday

I liked Ben Harris because you need the grafters in the side and defensively he was rock solid. No pace at all and I nearly died of shock when he went over for a try from more than about a foot out but you'd never accuse him of no putting in the work.

Was that against the Giants? He went half the length of the pitch I think. It was a shock!

I think it was in his last year with us and was at Odsal but i can't recall who against. Just so unexpected.

You're right. While Naylor and Harris never offered great pace in attack they were solid in defence.



For all Sykes's pace his defence is a weakness compared with those two.

Nah, Harris is a miles better player, in attack and defence.
