Paul Sykes 27th Season
eclecticsheep replied to Wakefield Ram's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Reminds me of Matt Calland who turned out for Rochdale Mayfield well in his 40s absolutely incredible characters both, Jarrod Sammut cut out of the same flint, But Paul Sykes is the daddy! -
Big Pack with Paul McShane behind them! Hingano big strong unit!

Horrible Little Scrote

Prefer the expression..."Players who continuously vexated the opposition players and fans with oft` times questionable methods"... Top of the tree...Andy Gregory Big Version hands down...Les Boyd Terrible twins, repeat offenders v my side Oldham RLFC...Paul and David March old school ...The irrepressible Jeff" Piggy"Fletcher, he just couldnt help it! -
what a determined effort by the Hornets, I would have been made up for them...so close. Mc Nally can still fizz a pass, a rough tough game in the conditions, great entertainment....

And then there was one

I originally posted this because one of the Mayfield tries late on in the game looked to be extremely close to the line where I was, Im 67 and have run a line for football matches back in the day, Run and me are strangers now, A fellow pensioner at the game had told me on the day that Egremont Rangers were one of the oldest established Rugby League Teams, one of their players got sledged by a small group of the Mayfield youth, some who were actually playing the day after...It was not pleasant nor warranted for even though they lost the Egremont lads played the game hard but fair, I was NOT going to correct the young group of mates anytime soon by the way. I was surprised that the two teams didnt run a line apiece in the spirit of the game, Its a worry to me where our fine game is heading. -
I went to a very entertaining and enjoyable game at Mayfield Sport Centre yesterday NCL Premiership Rochdale Mayfield V Egremont Rangers, To my surprise the match was played without Touch Judges, just a ref (with a headcam) who had a good game as it turns out. RFL these young lads deserve better than this, the Amateur game is the lifeblood of RL, please help these Clubs.

Thing I liked about Craven, The Hornets really tried to get in his face, but he sure has some toughness and stood up well...George Hirst is just full on absolutely loved his cameo. Joe Hartley is a battler, Hornets never gave up but were hammered by penalties and six agains, Ref had a good game I thought.
