Sutcliffe tried hard and kicked a touchline conversion, but he came back inside when we had 3 on 2 out wide. I enjoyed the game, but still feel in attack that everything stops with Sutcliffe, Ferres & Smith. I'd get rid of all 3 in close season.

42 tackles with only 2 misses, and 77 metres from Sutcliffe. Not bad, and on a far higher level than Ferres'

Best game of the season for sutcliffe

Re: SL RD 20 | Catalan Dragons (H) : Sun Jun 30, 2019 9:33 pm  

Meh! That's not saying much. We need to be looking at cut out passes to our dynamic centres and let the likes of Cam Smith just defend.
Oh yeah, and Sutcliffe was out ill when we had our best game of season at Salford. That's no coincidence.

He is a better SR than stand off, although wasn't he at 13 today?

Agree for the most part. Particularly Ferres and Smith are hanging in the attacking line instead of making a run to draw defenders off the centres.

Funnily enough when we did that today we looked dangerous and opened up Catalans defence.

You missed off his amount of carries, which is what highlighted why he is a poor selection. 15 carries for s very poor metres per carry rate, and no passes to his centre. Watkins was producing those number of tackles and no misses, but much better AVG, and he wasn’t a back rower.

That said, I agree on backrow his best position, and he is certainly better than Ferres. Although Ferres did come up with a couple of big tackles, I doubt Sutcliffe could have done.

If Agar made a point of him as a good game, then that is the problem. We should be getting far far more from our backrowers in an offensive sense, to come close to saying good game.

Next year, if Ward gets fit, Sutcliffe will be bench at best.
