maybe we can sign a guy from Yorkshire Carnegie , that would probably go a long way to winning us the world club challenge

I was thinking the same thing. Kev has only played about 9 times so far but will want to finish the RU season to give it a fair chance. But I would not be surprised if, after an end of season break, that he feels an urge to rejoin the Rhinos for the business end of the season, especially if there is another injury crisis.

That's all well and good but at some point everyone has to accept kev is not a rhino.

Maybe we could get him back after the union season. Maybe even he might realise the union thing isn't for him and come back on a 1 or 2 year deal. But at some point we have to accept we need to figure out how we move on without him.

Sutty and lilley are the future and the future is now.

Feel like I am following you around agreeing with you!!! But once again I agree. Liley looked good. Sutty looked very rusty but needs to be given some time.

I would hate to see Kev back. An absolute legend who retired on the highest stage which he deserved would like to remember him going out at old Trafford. I think he is an intelligent man and won't come back to play. He had the fairy tail ending the club now needs to move forward

Totally agree

hopefully sutcliffe was playing with himself 1st game and him and lilley can be the future

I don't see how you can claim Mac doesn't trust Lilley because he selected more experienced players to start. I would have selected Lilley to start myself as Sutty was not going to be match fit but I fully acknowledge why Sutty got the call as Mac will have one eye on the WCC

no wonder Sutcliffe had a poor game if thats what he was doing

Sutcliffe did not play v wakey on Boxing Day. He is only just fit enough to play, he would have gone off after the knock he took but McGuire went. One fierce game in after horrific injury with captain and main half going off injured meant he was on a one leg hiding to nothing.

He gave some poor passes but he put in a fine tackle after a Leeds kick and the wire player lost the ball. This resulted in set where burrow was wrongly penalised for playing ball when child judged he had not been tackled. if play had gone on and we had scored which was quite possible after a rare quick PTB - the sky pundits would have said Sutcliffe turned the game. Give him 2 injury free years.

If Sutty is our 6, he is our 6 now. He isnt necessarily at the sink or swim time, but he is definitely at the learn by doing stage. Sutty needs to given a couple of years to make mistakes, he will have off games, will lose a bit of form, blow a bit hot and cold, thats young players for you. There is no point picking him week to week, he needs to be given faith and he needs to repay that faith.

Lilley looked good, but he looks a player developing in to a hooker rather than half to me, definitely played himself in to a position next week and one of the great things Burrow gives us is the ability to switch between hooker and half even in the same set which takes some pressure off him.

Golding coming through gives us another option too. With where we are as a club and a team developing, and where we are in the season, i think we go with what we have. Whoever we could get in would at best be very temporary, and would be available for a reason. Id rather Golding, Lilley, Sutcliffe got some time and experience than we looked for some short term option.

I hope we go with Sutty and Lilley at HB, lets show some faith in them. We will hopefully have Falloon back and Burrow on the bench if one of the HBs are struggling?.
