Quote Charlie Sheen="Charlie Sheen"Apart from his try I thought Sutcliffe was poor to be honest. In fact the more I see of (S) Ward and Sutcliffe the more I think they'll both end up in the back row, which is what 've said for 2 years now. The 2 lads in the academy Liley, and Morgan Smith look more like natural half backs to me.'"
I have still never seen, not at any moment, something to make me think Sutcliffe is the long term stand off for this club. He just doesn't have anything creative in him. Works hard the lad, but just nothing magic about him, which every top half back has to have something. Backrow could be his position for me too.
As for the match, Proud would be taking it too far. I thought McDermott got it right last night though. Often he gets the blame when we lose, but I thought he got it right and the players got it wrong. I hear of scapegoats, and BJB getting the stick. BJB was gash, but if I had to pick a scapegoat, and it really pains me to say it, it would be Sinfield. He was dreadful again for me, making errors, and wrong choices on numerous occasions. I don't know what has happened to him over last month, but I really hope he can get it back to finish his career how he deserves.
Thought Luke Briscoe looked better than Robbie Ward, that was a great stroke from McDermott was that, never expected that one. Would like to see more of him.
Don't know why Singleton wasn't in, but what a shame he couldn't have been there instead of Kirke. Enough said there I know, but he really is useless.
Thought Bailey had his best game in a long time, although it certainly can't be said defence is his strong point anymore. He is looking very average defensively, but thought he looked great carrying the ball yesterday.
