Official Adam Dykes

That would make for two very flamboyant halves. Could be either a stroke of genius or an absolute debacle.

I still value Dykes as a halfback Cap's

I do too. Personally I would have kept him over Noddy. Not to say Noddy isn't a good and valuable half, Dykes was just more of an off the cuff sort of player, where as Noddy is more of a calculated, high percentage half. We needed a bit of flash.

 

[Jigsaw]

we needed a player that could stay on the field the whole year. Now i love dykes and all prob 4th fav shark of all time but he just cant cut it and hasnt for awhile now

Dykes sounded out as partner for Benji

ADAM DYKES could make a shock return to the NRL after being approached to join Wests Tigers.

The Tigers have resolved the future of star halfback Benji Marshall, although there is still conjecture over his long-term halves partner. Utility John Morris has been used in the pivot role with mixed results, while coach Tim Sheens has intimated Chris Lawrence could eventually shift from the centres to five-eighth.

Former Cronulla and Parramatta half Dykes, who returned to Australia after an injury-marred stint with Hull, is earmarked as a potential partner for Marshall.

"We've had a chat," Tigers CEO Scott Longmuir confirmed yesterday. "There's nothing confirmed but we've had a chat.

"He's got a bit of interest in playing again and, from a back-up point of view, there could be a bit of interest there from us.

"That's basically all there is at the moment. It's in at an embryonic stage. We've just had some discussions."

Dykes played just12games in a disappointing Super League stint that ended when Hull released him last season with a year still remaining on his contract. But the 32-year-old is keen to reignite an NRL career of 221 games and the Tigers appear to be his most likely destination.

"He feels fresh, fit and injury-free," Longmuir said. "He's looking to have another run."

:lmao:lmao:lmao no no sorry I was going to say....:lmao:lmao:lmao
I can't. Sorry, Sorry guys. Hang on let me think. I was going to say :nodlaugh

Forget it, it's too funny

I don't like to see Adam in other teams jerseys.

 

[brad]

basically my whole family are tigers supporters and they reckon that they couldnt do any worse at the moment. i tend to agree. john morris is a good player that has high utility value but sheens is off his tits if he thinks a marshall/morris combo is going to be good enough in this years nrl competition

 

[zakspiders]

benji playing 1/2 is not working-he needs more room.

i would've thought dykes was past his use by date.

i'll head towards debacle rather than stroke of genius.

 

[peachey]

leagues most fragile halves combo..miss having adam in a sharks jersey

i know what your thinking. it's a good headline isnt it. don't know why any dykes would be interested in benji, unless they are hinting that he lacks the man plumbing and has the ladies.

I was a big fan of Adam Dykes West Tigers were after him earlier this year I was wondering if he would like to have a run on match payments it would give Buster a rest we all know Noddy and him didn't see eye to eye but maybe him and Barret they are the same vintage WYO

 

[Ramzyv1]

I'd love to see it but it wont happen, Seymour would never allow it since he was forced on to Park Footy when he wasnt wanted last time and would fear that again. If Seymour's doctors say he is ready for round 16 or 17 and we are trying this guy now then Dykes isnt worth it as he wont come cheap.

 

[moruya shark]

How was his form in the English Super League ? I don't think it would work we need to go forward not backward.

 

[Capmar]

No bloody way!!

We have enough injured as it is.

Dykes is like Kearney. Brilliant when on the field but spend more time on the injured list than playing. This happened in Super League as well

 

[snapper]

What year did he retire from the Sharks?

 

[SharkBoy]

2007 was his final season

 

[josh11223344]

2007 wasn't it?

 

[jedman1]

Went England after 2007.
My God, that was only 4 seasons ago. time flies............
