Cracking pic. Would be ironic if a player on loan from the bulls, was key to us pipping them to 8th spot!

His game frees up Tim Smith to play his own game and that is plenty enough. Smith is involved in so much brilliant stuff with Sykes chiming in when opportunity presents itself.

It also helps that our pack is making the hard yards for them to work with and that we've got the wins and the confidence under our belts. THE form team in Super League!

Only problem may be the bulls were probably paying him silly money and we all know how that turned out.

My KR mate at work said she just knew we were gonna win so left! I wish I had such confidence!

Is he loan until the end of the season, or could Bradford recall him whenever they wanted. Hope they can't as I'd like to see you get the 8th spot.

End of season I think.
I'd also like to see them justifying turning down a source of income by recalling him, given the situation they are currently in.

Must admit Sykes was in my top 5 gash players in SL before he joined and I think we only shoe-horned him in because we were so woefully short of a goal kicker it was embarrassing. However I think the role we give him suits him because he doesn't have to think too much and he is fairly good in broken field situations playing off the back of Smith. I'm happy to be wrong about him whilst he plays for us and hope he continues his good form and confidence level.
