Quote ="newgroundb4cas"To me Sykes has been really lucky he has had nobody who is any cop challenging him, any remotely decent stand off. Sykes is average but who else is there. We only like Sykes so much because who ever as played there Isac John, Washbrook, LEe Smith have been appauling. Lee Smith played well against Bradford though but his contract is running out? He has other motives probably? If we had no Tim Smith and Sykes was pulling the strings god help us.'"
Conversely Trinity have been really lucky to have Sykes as none of the options tried have been much cop (although I think John could’ve come good if he had been retained, but that’s another thread). I think everyone agrees that if Trinity could get a better 6 then, yes, replace Sykes, but whether they are available, could Trinity afford them and would they want to come to the club are the key parameters.
