I saw him involved in plenty of Leeds plays in the last 60 mins. What exactly were you expecting from a young, inexperienced half playing in a secondary role behind Burrow, playing behind a young pack often on the back foot, away at Warrington?
Your comment regarding him and Hunslet shows you up. Criticise his performance if you want, just don't be such a pillock with it.

Are you blind?

Which try? The one he scored or the one he set up for Hardaker.

I love it, A Hunslet mug slating one of our players

Don't worry, Joe Vickery is still ready for you

Sutcliffe was not as involved anywhere near enough. That is to be expected. The coach himself has said Sutcliffe needs to work on his game management and he does. Still looks class to me.

However, this does put real pressure on Burrow, especially when he also has to cover Dummy half. If Harrigan was an objective poster like he claims he would recognise that in his usual rabid barbs about Burrow.

Agreed.sutcliffe is still a fair way off being at the level where we can expect him to go to places like warrington and control the game in the way a sinfield can.he is showing more than enough glimpses of class though and these experiences he is getting at his age will pay off down the line for him and the club.

As you say,this means burrow has a lot more responsability,and from what i have seen he is doing a good job.

Absolutely agree.

I'm glad for Burrow that he is being given the chance to show his credentials far away from being the 80 mins hooker he is most def. not.....again unfortunately due only to injuries.

Of the "essential" triumvirate of recent years I would only prioritise the retention of Sinfield (at LF) foremost over Burrow. McGuire will be even less of a threat after his latest injury: Sutcliffe is his replacement.

Over complicating things a bit there.

Sinfield to 13, Ward in back row with Ablett, and Singleton at prop which he is. That's what it should be.

Agh,not saying i disagree with moving sinfield back to 13 but it wont happen,so like i say,one shirt is realisticaly up for grabs assuming burrow stays at 7 which i think he will as he has gone well lately as has mcshane at 9.

Did I miss something?

Did Sutcliffe and Minns propose to move clubs if they did not get a first team game in the last couple of months?

I think it's a bit much to expect Sutcliffe to come in and be the main game manager at this stage in his career.

I thought he looked very comfortable in that environment actually. He looks capable of making things happen, gets himself in the right place when chances come along and isn't shy in defence when things are a bit attritional.

Not sure what people were expecting of the kid really. I was really impressed with him again.

Young player taking on the most difficult position on the roster, gets are starting position for three games and scores five tries. Not only that but, one of the games is against top class opposition. Leeds fans critical!

You couldn't make it up!

If Sinfield doesn't revert back to loose forward on his return, there is something very wrong with our team set up.

The lad's done brilliantly (undeniably) but he is not going to oust Sinfield from the halves.

He's still young, he's proved he's got a bright future so no need to rush him into play off rugby as our starting 6 unless we really have to.

I'd be tempted to play Sutcliffe at 13 when Sinfield is back. Use them interchangeably, and maybe rotate Sutcliffe with Bailey if you want a ball carrier there.
