Thats right Mable, we'll accept anyones cast offs!!!!

Sykes isn't a winger so this kind reshuffle would make zero sense.

Not sure why everyone has got it in for Mellars tbh, he's been no worse (or any better) than many others and we are only 3 games in.

Not really a big fan of Sykes and not too sure that he's a good enough goal kicker to merit being shoe-horned into our line-up either

Not sure where he would play tbh.

Mellars has been fine so far bar the few positional mistakes which I hope doesnt happen again in last match

Cant you remember the thrashing we got down at Brentford, when he played for the Broncos, I think he kicked 12 from 12 that day and they were so far in front he started curling the ball from all angles. That was without doubt the best kicking performance I've seen in rugby League.
It will be interesting where we slot him in though !

And a journo from Bradford on twitter says:
"just had long chat with Peter Hood - "utter nonsense" about Paul Sykes being Wakey-bound..."

would be a very good signing potentially for us.

has some class, seasoned pro with international honors behind him, top class goal kicker and a brit to boot. Bit of a rough time lately and gone the wrong way but has ability in there somewhere.

Pretty sure many on here last year vomited at the thought of Sykes joining us?

agar's quashed this rumour. good.

but we do need a kicker.

not a player we should be thinking of, hes hit and miss. Ok he can knock a few kicks over, but thats about it.

If we need a kicker then let's look to our youth/reserves. If John is working on Improving his goal kicks I can be a little more patient.

Can't of been worse than cudjoe a couple of years back, absolutely appalling!

Cudjoe would walk into this side and us a very useful kicker

I hope not

do we have to carry Sykes so he can kick the odd goal or too



rather put Morton in instead of him

Bring him in to give IJ some kicking lessons, but I don`t think he could be worth a place in the team.

As i understand it, The Leeds Tykes employ a very good goal kicking consultant.
We could also learn from him how to constantly bemoan the referees every decision and get on everyones tit-ends!!

We have a rugby union goal kicking coach now! Not doing much good really is he?

You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear!!
Do we? who?

We do. Don't know who though.

Give it time. Don't think we need Sykes yet.

If we need a kicker who can play as well, we could do with Danny Tickle.

Yes he takes a fortnight to line up his kicks but he's a decent success rate.


RA could have a chat on Sunday

Wouldnt describe Sykes as solid.

2008– Bradford Bulls played 98 trys 36 goals 70 drop goals 2total points 286

I would say he has done ok for himself. I remember when he was one of the hottest properties in SL.

Where would we fit another player in the side though Mathers done ok,Fox and Cockayne done ok.Mellers aint done 2 bad and Collis ok.John and Smith done ok,Front row of the pack done ok,second row done ok,Washbrooke done ok,Subs done ok.
Think it would be a good idea to let all the players have a go at kicking goals in training it just might turn up a good kicker who thought he couldnt do it.

I thought he kicked well last night, 6 from 6.

He's in the south of France with Jim Morrison.

Jim Morrison's grave is in Paris. I'm don't know (or care) where PS is interred, but his funeral was in Wakefield AFAIK.
