Quote: Andy Gilder "How is Sutcliffe being "restricted"? He's taken the line on plenty since he came into the team, certainly no less than Sinfield does. The try he scored at home to Widnes and the set up for Burrow at Widnes spring to mind straight away.
He's also demonstrated his attacking kicking game, demanding the ball at first receiver on the last tackle.
To suggest that he is somehow being deliberately told not to do what would be best for the team just so McDermott can find an excuse to drop him when Sinfield is fit is laughable.'"
I don`t think for one minute the coach is trying to make Sutcliffe look bad so that he could bring Sinfield back.
But you and I must have been watching a different game on Friday.
It certainly looked to me that Sutcliffe was passing the ball on every time he received it without taking the man on as he does in the U19s.
McDermott said himself he is trying to take the pressure off him.
Not sure why as he is a natural plays off the cuff sort of player something we desperately need when the likes of Burrow is playing and for that matter Sinfield.
McShane didn`t help either on Friday.
And yes I would have kept Amor over Kirke and Moore probably one of GH `s worse decisions of late along with retaining Kirke and Bailey.
