He had one good year at six, after a lot of reorganising and releasing of players to fit age restrictions. Never really at the forefront at all up until that point,then the opportunity came and it worked. Ward looked much better at stand off in the academy than Sutcliffe did.
That said I think Sutcliffe seems to be taking most of the brunt here, and unfairly. His half back partner, the longest serving in the Leeds team, the experience, was diabolical and should really have given his partner more of an opportunity to shine.
Sutcliffe for me still looks a future player, just not in the halfs.
Also how can anyone give BJB a seven last night? Sure with ball he can move, but his defence is worse than under 12's., his positioning is really poor, and he looks like his insides are dropping when a kick is put in. Feel sorry for the lad, as with Salfords other signings his position over there won't be any different to what it is here.
Also might have only been six minutes, but thought Mulhern really stood out in those minutes. With no go forward from Bailey throughout the match,why did we waif so long to bring him on.
