A scrum half that cant pass or kick he crucified us today he must be dropped. Lee Smith must kick for touch as sykes is inept to kick a ball 5 yard what a PRO . Awful

Scored two trys, nice conversions out wide and did not kick out on full twice from Kick off like wires super dooper half back. I think you are being totally unreasonable in your attitude to Sykes.

I dont think that all the blame should be heaped on Paul Sykes. However all that toutch line and he could not get the ball over it with that second half penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The team ran out of ideas in the first half and Smith is not organising like he did last season, he seems out of form. We should have won that game by 6 points but even thoe Warrington are not on their top form they were better than us.

Sykes playing 34-41
Sykes not playing 16-40

Such a terrible player and contributes nothing, yea right he threw a couple of dodgy passes and missed a kick to touch but he contributed far more for Wakefield than he did wire. Time to grow up and look at positives than sigling out our TOP SCORER today

Mellors played well though

Ben Thaler didn't have a bad game for Warrington either !

NGB4C did you go to the game today. You are a complete idiot. Yes he didnt reach touch but to say he should be dropped for that is ridiculous. What about dropping Kyle Amor for dropping the ball on the first tackle when we had just got a penalty? Brett hodgson and Stefan Ratchford both kicked out on the full from KO, so you think the fans will be baying for them to be dropped, you tit. What about our ability to miss one on one tackles in the middle of the park which led to walk in tries?

Problem today is the same we see week in week out, BRAIN FART moments. Cut out the mistakes and we are a dangerous side but we seem to ship the ball every single week. Sick of us having to say we have put up a good performance but just came up short. We need 2 pts quickly or our season will fizzle out.

PS Sykes is a stand off not scrum half you half wit.

He put on a couple of good hits in defence

.

Thought all the team were OK today but Raleigh still dosn't look right to me

I don't think its all down to Ben, the touchie gave him a few wrong calls in the first half.

Anyway back on topic, Sykes scored a scorcher of a try that needed brains, pace, skill and nerves to finish.

Raleligh is still not firing properly but he'll get there.

Sykes most part hero, some parts villain.

What a pathetic post from the OP.

As soon as he kicked that ball you could see the wind was going to blow it back into play. That said he should have gone for safety, not distance.

Last two games aiton has stepped up a level in attack and is causing opposition defences problems. Long may it continue.

As for Sykes, I wud prefer him at full back and lee smith at stand off

Annoying part is he does go for safety on every other kick! He picked the wrong one to chance his arm to!

Sykes throwing the ball into touch and Cockayne not passing with 2 outside first half as well.

All in all another big let-down!

Most pleasing part of the day for me, i have criticsed Aiton's attacking play in the past but today he stood out.

Its called fishing

I went like i do every week he's garbage.

Now with Richie Mathers out is Sykes the new hate figure . We can not give top sides a start before we start to play.

There was two cock ups from Sykes, the shocker of a pass into touch when a try was certain and the missed kick to touch. Apart from that he probably was the most threatening he's been all season. Aiton was non-stop, although his passing from dummy half isn't the best his running game was good.

The worry for me is the forwards. Amor, Washbrook & Raleigh look way below par, Wilkes is average and is it my imagination or is Kirmond carrying a little extra timber this year? Annaklin and Lauitiiti apart out forwards lack punch and are getting easily dominated. The need to up their game sharpish.

A fan that dont know who plays scrum half and stand off for his side do we need to say anymore.

Certainly Raleigh needs more game time. Coming back from injury and only getting 13 first half minutes isn't helping his cause.

Is he actually fully fit because he doesn't look it. Still seems to be carrying a knock.

Washy has padding on his right Kidney area. He whinced at one point and moved his hand over it - so I guess it was hurting at times. Not sure how long he has had that injury!

You have to ask then why is he playing and Frankie Mariano sat in stands?

I'd guess its because Frankie has had his opportunities but always seems to get a knock to the head when the going get tough. Funny that....
