Not good news today. His broken leg is still in a pot and Agar says it is very unlikely he'll play again this season. When he's played Wakefield have been a different team, although Wakefield gave Leeds a real scare for both games think if he and Kirmond would have been in second game we'd have won it.

Hope his injury heals ok and he's fully fit and raring to go next season.

Bugger. I don't think we can win without him.

Of course we can win without him. Slightly over the top! We are certainly better with him though that's for sure. He's not signed up for next year I believe so the club may be able to get him signed on a cheeky offer??

Hes out of contract too, I would give him another year he's been unlucky with injuries this season.

I don't think we can win because with Sykes out we've been playing with one halfback.

You do know Sykes is only a make shift halfback?

He's our best option at 6, works well with Smith and takes the pressure off him. he may be a makeshift halfback, but replace him with Washbrook and what do you get? 1 halfback and an extra forward.

That he maybe but Agar's alternative is Washbrook, I know who I'd rather see at 6.

Since we signed Sykes he has missed 6 games, of which we won 1 and lost 5. So we can win without him but it doesn't happen very often.

Would be on the phone to Wigan for one of theirs and would say they can have a 24 hour recall clause. Hampshire would do the job. Wigan might be tempted as worked for a few in the past Luke charnley, Tuson and a few others.

Don't think we can sign anyone, the transfer deadline has passed.

Maybe keeping Wood til the end of season would have been wise.

Maybe we should just show some faith and give the youngsters a game.

Get Liam Kay in there, at least he'd be playing in his position. Or get Danny Cowling in the centre and play Lee Smith at SO.

The chances of us making the 8 now are quite slim so should we be looking to get some experience under the belts of these younger players, or are we resigned to losing them at the end of the season anyway??
Surely some of them have to remain to keep us within the limit for home-grown players in the squad, but realistically how many will wnat to stay if not being given a chance???

If we can't bring anyone in now I would look at playing Kaye against Warrington the week after. It's a nothing to loose game for me. This way no immediate pressure and the lad and we might see what he can do for us.

Completely agree, however, and I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but Agar will persist with Washbrook at 6 and have Lyne in the squad before Cowling.

I'd rather see what the kids can do in a game Trinity can win rather than be lambs to the slaughter.

Jamie Ellis can't get a game at Tigers.

Quote ="The Dreadnought"Hes out of contract too, I would give him another year he's been unlucky with injuries this season.'" I'd give Sykes a 2 year deal he's only 32 in August 2013 and even if we pick up a genuine 6, Sykes can also play centre or fullback. He can kick goals/drop goals also for fun which is very useful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/19475844

There's a reason for that though - he's fat and useless!!

"Fat" doesn't seem to be preventing one or two others getting a game. Maybe just "useless" then?

Agree with KK. Agar will not change anything from last weeks team resulting in Bradfords ½ backs having a field day against us, hope Im wrong

Wrong. Lee smith at 6 tomorrow. Cowling and Lyne in centres. Washy back to loose

No suprise with them both being in the squad, Collis is turning into another sick note.

Talking to Paul this morning and he gets the cast taken off on tuesday asked him about next season and he said dont want to say too much but things are looking good.
