Tom Coates Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 “I’ve followed the club closely for a number of years and have been down to watch matches whenever I’ve had chance. And it’ll be a real privilege to be on the pitch representing them in 2016" Dewsbury-born utility back Paul Sykes is Glenn Morrison’s latest signing for the Rams ahead of the 2016 season.

Blind side johnny Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Tes, I hope this is another good signing. Maybe he will only give us a year but it could be a valuable one as well as being able to pass on some experience. It's also good to have another Dewsbury lad at the club. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play him at centre and not 6 and he will do a job for you BSJ I'm sure even if it's just his goal kicking as he's pretty decent at that.Good luck to him and I hope he does well but I thought crookes was a good coup for you guys last season but I've noticed not many if any rams fans rated him last season hope Sykes turns out differently for you guys.

christheram Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Sykes will have to play blindfolded to be worse than Crookes. It's pretty much impossible to be any worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If Sykes is to play as a centre, it would seem to me that we will be awash with players for those two positions, even excluding Beckett and Scott (he came as a centre Ibthink).

Naargh. That will never happen. Not at Dewsbury! A hooker maybe! Maybe GM knows that young Glover will be starting at 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Evans Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Was for us.... Just failed to deliver.... you'll get used to his wayward pass to no-one that ends up in touch.... The kicking game that feeds the opposing full back with a spoon.... and the inability to gaffer a game. I'm an experienced prop neil.... I'm still sheeite! "I love our club, absolutely love it".

Robin Evans Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 You made some good signings.... Sykesy isn't one of them.... In my opinion of course "I love our club, absolutely love it". (Overton, M 2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolie Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Robin when we played you at our place who was the fev halfbacks that night?? Seem to remember it was Sykes and the lad that left for Bradford I think Your speed destroyed us that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Evans Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Blackmore .... played on the wing. In my opinion he had his best game in a fev shirt that night. He kept running it from actin afe n made loads of yards. Another player I'd never class as my fav and has had an inconsistent season. But has had a couple of stormer too. Sykes played 6... and scored... also had on ok (ish) game that night. "I love our club, absolutely love it". (Overton, M 2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fev4evatiggerneva Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 To be fair to sykes i think there was a lot of pressure on his shoulders at fev and he was playing in a unsettled team with a new half back partner quite often, inbetween been tried in the centres. He looked clueless at times and like he wasnt enjoying his rugby. He hasnt got bad hands and shown some good touchs at times, put him with a good organising 7 and take a bit of pressure off him, he could do a good job, looked better at centre for fev on a few occasions. No doubt he will look like wally lewis both times fev play Dewsbury next season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolie Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It will be impossible for a human To do less than wildie over a season Chris Hirst who have been more prolific Always said he'd make a great dummy half Or even a dummy full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if playing in the halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I expect him to play at centre for us next year. Solid on defence, chiming in with decent carries, looking after his winger and popping over the goals. That would do for me.

By the way Robin the way you feel about Sykes alot of rams fans feel the same about Wildie.yup.... I'm aware of that Graham.But having seen wildie play, he's not burdened with anywhere near the level of expectation Sykesy endured "I love our club, absolutely love it".
