Is Langley likely to be fit then? Need to get the injured Westerman out of my fantasy team and with you guaranteed a win I should get good points from Langley

Seriously though you'd have to play very badly not too win. If you put in the same performance you did against Warrington and Hull KR you'll get the 2 points

As it's on TV I expect it to be very close on the scoreboard up until 65 minutes though - they need to keep those armchair viewers tuning in

So from what I hear from Mick its likely to be :

Kearney
Pryce
Purtell
Lulia
Crookes
Sykes
Jeffries
Hargreaves
Diskin
Nas
Bateman
Whitehead
Addy

L'Estrange
Burgess
Elima
Walker/Joseph

Regardless of supporter opinion Sykes is a proven and capable player. Remember the MOM performance he put in against Huddersfield last season??

Personally I don't agree. In fact I'd say it's proven he's incapable of playing stand off at Super League level but that's not the point. Where've you got this piece of info from because if it's true it's astonishing.

One swallow doesn't make a summer. I also remember any number of awful performances at stand off that cancel out the one good game he had there.

If Sykes must play then it's got to be at fullback only and I'd have reservations then too.

Sykes put his hand up to play stand off when we had no other options and fair play to him for that but we can play Kearney or Addy there and both would be better than him.

Hopefully this is just a rumour.

He was at centre against Huddersfield, which is his best position. Even at centre the good games he has had have been outweighed by the bad since the 08 season. Sykes has demonstrated time and time again that he is not a stand off and whilst neither is ideal both Kearney and Addy offer far more in the position than Sykes.

Re: 17/3/12 | Bradford Bulls vs St Helens | 17:15 | #SLBraSt : Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:51 pm  

Agreed, don't want Sykes at stand off. However, I would prefer Sykes at full back to Platt if Kearney is going to be at 6.
