Ive just come here to ask the same thing

Totally agree, it's obvious how well they both did as had either of them been even slightly under par the trolls would be all over this forum.

Imagine if either had managed a debut as bad as Sutcliffe! We'd never live it down

I really rate Sutcliffe but that will have put his career in reverse in 5 seconds of play. Bennett doesn't like mistakes.

I'm sure he'll be under pressure from Gildart but I'd like to see Reece against the Kiwis. He did well enough to be in the mix.

For Tom..... short of trashing WBs car he has to have a guaranteed place.

Problem with Sutcliffe is that I'm not sure what he is and I don't think he is either. Being billed as the natural heir to Sinfield probably hasn't helped.

All the same it was as bad a debut as TJ's was good.

Agree he should be in the mix and just thinking about previous picks from WB, he likes his s to have some size and be good defensively and imo I think that fits Reece well. Plus he's got the pace that we've lacked when Bateman plays there and although there are maybe better passes of the ball, he's got far better at putting his winger away the past couple of years.

Don't get the hype around Sutcliffe and never have done, touted by every man and his dog as the next big thing but I've never seen him have a good game? For me his name is built from a fixation by Eddie and Stevo that he was the next Sinfield ... he wasn't even stand out at junior level really, not like RH.
