thought he had signed for Dewsbury for next year??

I would be happy to keep him next year, he has been very good for us since we signed him halfway through 2012 giving us that 'filling piece' which got us into the play-offs. Also not too bad at kicking goals

You'll be a bob short then

Oi

I would not mind betting the club offered him a new deal on reduced terms' just like Mathers and turned them down, I can't see a SL club being in for him but he would be a good signing for a championship side, all the top clubs' in there seem to have plenty of cash to splash and are going full time, so for me the likelyhood is one or more of them have offered him better terms' than we did and he's maybe taking his time choosing or already has done and is keeping it quiet for now, whatever happens he has always been good for us and does not owe us anything so good luck Paul wherever you finish up.

Looking very weary today!!

Interesting that he went through the guard of honour with the other leaving players at the end of the game

Probably be with Dewsbury for next season.....

After today's horror show I think it's the right time for him to drop down a level.

Most of the team were very poor today.
Sykes would offer great utility value to the squad, if we can afford him and his goal kicking was excellenticon_biggrin.gif

His goal kicking was excellent, but his general play and decision making was woeful. That pass to Owen pretty much set the tone for the first half.

Where ever Sykes is going to be next year he has sent his brain on ahead. That was an absolute shocker. Best left at that.

Is he actualy leaving, because i thought him and Hall were bonding today?

Every restart he was kicking straight to Hall giving him catching practice

Way he played it looked liked he signed for Hull KR not long after kick off.

This year Sykes has had more good games than bad f*cking hell some of the reactions on here. Sammut might not have done any worse but equally he might not have done any better. Outplayed across the park today, it happens, get a f*cking grip. I'm looking forward to next year under Webster, in his first games in charge he's shown more promise than the previous clown.

Timmy and Godinet had half decent game's other than that the rest was ordinary at best, Sykes kicking apart was no worse than anybody else unfortunately for him he made that howler of a pass which set the tone for the rest of the error strewn game, you come to expect criticism on days' like this but to single out Sykes is wrong for me, one good thing though the usual suspects' can't blame Sammut for today's debacle.

Sykes didn't have a great game in general play. The long pass across the line on the first tackle has still got me scratching my head!

Three immaculate touchline conversions though. Shame they were wasted in today's game.

I honesty think Sykes was no worse than some others on the pitch. Everybody is expected to have a howler now and then and I feel sorry for Sykes that he chose his last game to have it.
For the record I would have kept him another season if possible but it's apparently not to be.

Disagree. He stuck out like a sore thumb.

Announced today that Sykes has signed for us at Fev

Great signing for you if true

wakey's junior club

Good player. Had maybe one year left in Super League or two years playing at your level.

great signing for you guys
all the best paul at your new club paul

Probably not the done thing to resurrect a thread from five years ago but given this thread was about how well Sykes was playing at a relatively advanced age in 2014, thought it was worth noting that today he made his 450th career appearance, scored a try for Dewsbury and won the man of the match award, a month before his 38th birthday.

Fair play.
