Wykes speaks

[Rex Messup]

It's a pretty hard way to make a living so criticism seems unfair. Wykes isnt fit enough to play super rugby. It is also questionable whether he is talented enough. I doubt there is another franchise that would want him.
Say what you will...the Reds game may come back to haunt us. We should have won that. Hunt and OConnor out just before kickoff. Frisby played 10 and was amateurish. The Reds would have been flogged by every other team in the comp. The Force were poor.
I was very impressed with Liam Gill. He was a pest and was awesome at stealing the squeeze ball between the legs which is hard to get at. Gill looks like he has a bit more meat on his bones as well.
Mafi looks like an athlete. Wykes doesnt. Wykes has a few tackles on the stat sheet but everything he does lacks impact.
McCalman should have got the c
Wykes needs to go play subbies, have some green ginger wine, and waddle 40m behind the play, walk to every set piece and spew. Its expected in z grade. Its not acceptable in elite professional rugby.

Sam Wykes is an integral part to the Force squad. I am sick of “rugby perfectionist” criticising players. I have never witnessed a perfect game from anyone. He has gone from strength to strength each season. Players should be judged on off field contributions as well as on. He has been great for community rugby!! I know the North u17 benefited greatly by him giving up his spare time to come down. Believe it or not the opposition are competing too and sometimes they win.
The reds game by no means was poetry in motion but this week is a new and I am sure the Force will put their best foot forward!

Well put, a better genuine good bastard and role model would be hard to find. Wouldn't be happy with his game but neither would the other 20 players last week.
If I could do better myself I'd be bagging the crap out of them but I can't so I won't.
You keyboard critics get on down and show us how it's done or STFU.

He's had one good year in how many?

Wykes is rubbish.

[westies man]

Get on down Jargs. The Paly Pigs 5th's to the Force wouldn't be that much of a step up.

Jargs has the the world cup cricket to win first then he will give Foley a call!

This is what a forum is all about. People discuss games and players. If you had to be a better player than the current squad members to post a comment then Darren may as well shut up shop.

I still wonder about Sias as fly half, he is not a dynamic number 10 and his goal kicking is a game to game proposition. Also wasn't impressed with Zack Holmes at 15.

Too bloody right it is. But there's absolutely no need or place for some of the disparaging language that appears here sometimes. That's not to say you have done that. I haven't looked .
Maybe we should discuss who we think should be in the team their places, and why, if we think any of them need replacing? Negativity never won a Rugby game.

Thats the spirit!!!

No pun intended!

Benny mac for captain. He doesn't throw in the towel

I've got a better Cricket brain than Shane Warne. Deadset.
