I know Harmon was a lancastrian, but does anyone know if he still lives around these parts?

I only ask because I have seen him twice now in the last 3 months on Garforth main street.

He used to live in West Park (along with Morley and Nathan Picchi) a few doors down from me but no idea if he's still there.

Doesn't he still own a pub with Robbie Paul in Cleckheaton?

From a Bulls point of view, it's a fairly good thing imo.

At first I thought it shouldn't have been three years but:

- He's home-grown
- He can play a number of positions
- He always gives us 100%

No he's not a sensational player, but he does a good job and always puts the effort in. I'm glad we're now trying to retain our home-grown talent. There's worse players thank Sykes about imo.

If you want to compare Sykes with a Rhinos player then look at Kirke.

Talking of Ian Kirke, would that be the same Paul Sykes that was caught and driven in to the turf by that well-known Leeds speedster, er ... Ian Kirke, at Odslum the other week ?

Oh, how we laughed ....

And all our backs are superstars I take it? Delaney certainly isn't. And he's an Aussie.

He's certainly a better centre than Sykes imo and younger with room to improve..
The fact he's an aussie is irrellevant we have produced more than enough homegrown players.

I totally disagree.

These average-at-best dead weights are exactly the kind of players Bradford should be scrapping and moving on from. If they want to improve. Keeping the likes of Sykes et al isn't going to assist doing this in the long term.
