The ball actually sat up perfectly for him to catch it, he was a good 3 or 4 metres inside the field of play and could have easily made it tobthe 10 metre line or further

He did try to get hands to it but he couldn't so he booted it dead, split second decision fom him with Salford players thundering up behind him.

He did the right thing at the right time.

Split second choice with players around him and he went for the safe option, maybe Sykes should have had a go at players bombing several chances at the other end of the field.

I dint agree, i, like Sykes, thought he had time and room to catch the ball and stay in the field of play, but it's the kind of thing that happens in a game and it didn't lose us the game, just maybe made it harder to win.

Sykes reaction showed that he was competitive for the win - no issue with that.

Mathers signalled an apology - no issue with that.

No problem man!

Like Al says - spur of the moment decision; probably the wrong one, but that's what happens in a game.

Sykes had a bit of a blow-up - fair do's; must be frustrating when you've got your opponents on the ropes and you just need the ball in your hands.

speaking as a full back he obeyed the full back mantra

"if in doubt, kick it out"
