I think that's largely due to inexperience, fair enough at his age - seemed to me he was intended to be dummy runner and wasn't alert enough to see what Williams (I think, or was it Powell?) saw when passing to him instead of missing him out as planned.

I have liked what I've eeenbof Sutton so far, in the first warrington game he looked good was tackling hard and made decent metres the second game and against hull he looked tired, he will surely have been playing more.minutes than.anticipated which will be affecting performances.

For me he's a starter with Flower. Actually runs the ball in like a prop making the hard yards scattering players. Think he was second highest tackler as well v Leeds (after Powell)

Just read the thread and I don't get the criticism of Gildart and Sutton. IMO these are two of the brightest prospects we have and like Budgie before them have that something about them that says they are natural RL players and could go on to great things.

They are both young and seem to be getting criticised as if they were at their peak. To put this in some sort of perspective, Gelling is 25 ands still makes daft mistakes yet often gets away with it with fans and is often referred to (still) as a work in progress yet Gildart is only 19.

I don't think they are the issue at all. It's more senior players who deserve putting under the microscope. For example saying Sam being back takes pressure off Smith. Smith shouldn't need pressure taking off him, he should take it off Williams. Instead because Smith is so static and predictable defenders can mark Williams without worrying about Smith.

I have not seen the Leeds game (was at a Status Quo concert, late birthday present from the wife ) so my comments are general and made because I think people are being a bit harsh on two excellent young players.

I don't really see it as criticism but more as people recognising their talent but also recognising there's things to work on. Sutton and Gildart are clearly very very good prospects and whilst I can pick out numerous strengths, I can also see weaknesses. They will need to work on these to become the players they can be.

If we compare them to Gelling I think he's worked on some of his weaknesses. He has improved in a lot of ways but again there's room for improvement.
