I lived in London for a while and watched The Broncos when Sykes played for them, and I remember him being superb playing fullback for them, consistantly superb! So much so he was chosen for the international squad......at centre where he was dire
I was recently on holiday in Cyprus and Sykes was at the same hotel as me, he looked in great shape, and was working out in the hotel gym every morning and evening. I got to speak to him a few times, and told him I thought he was outstanding at fullback, and why he didnt play there anymore? The answer he gave was round the houses and ended up with I play where the coach prefers me to......which says to me that your coach doesnt want him at fullback (in my opinion his best position) and said to me he prefers playing fullback. Again from what ive seen of him recently he is no way a centre or a stand off!!! He had plenty of time for my son who was always buzzing around him asking him hints and tips about playing rugby etc.....a really nice guy, I hope he gets to play his preferred position sometime soon and is a hit!!
