Only 1 kicker. Tickle.

and poor choices at centres IMHO

Only 1 starting kicker and 3 stand in kickers, besides I went for kickers more last season trying a different tactic this season. Some very high try scorers in there tho IMO.

I'd say they are the two best choice at centres.

I can omly see 1 stand in kicker. Sykes.

I can omly see 1 stand in kicker. Sykes.

Considering between them over a 4 year period they averaged 235 points, id say thats better than any other pairing.

or are your trying to put doubt in my mind?

It's all mind games I bet they're his centres.

Smith is a good stand, Myler also stands in from time to time. Also there are 5 players there who like to have a go at drop goals if the going gets real tough....

Then Sykes must have had a good points score last yearwasnt Yeaman missing for long stretches...

IMO Burrow and Brent Webb are better choices as a stand in. Also for Salford, Jordan Turner kicks occasionally.

P Sykes stats for last year:

Year Pld T G DG YC RC
2008 25 15 3 0 0 1 (id say good points score)

K Yeaman stats for last year:

Year Pld T G DG YC RC
2008 23 16 0 0 0 0 (id say consistently present)

I've got Sykes (stats posted above by pokerface) and Whatuira Pld-26 Tries-13 Both are good points-scoring centres IMO.

Burrow is first choice stand but Smith has been known to take over kicking duties. J Turner maybe but wont be first choice stand in playing off the bench.

Just a(nother) Senior moment..no pun intended

thought as much.

I cant back down from a challange tho
