The move to Saints was the best move for all partys, Koni's a luxury player, can be rocks or diamonds, Saints are a well oiled machine who can accomodate a player like him much better than we can at the minute. Right decision to let him go, glad he's started well, seems a great lad.

Do you honestly think Briscoe/Sutty are anywhere near good enough? Even at SL level. Austin won’t be cheap. Just think squad would have been a lot better if we’d retained Koni and Gale. We didn’t really need Bentley either…..

Briscoe and Sutty are decent SL players, they're also not our first choice Centre pairing are they.

We offered Koni more money than Saints, what more could we have done, he wasn't worth anywhere near Marquee money.

Personally I'd argue our team is better with Austin and Sezer in the half rather than Sezer/Gale. We'll have to wait and see, Gale was also out injured for a lot of his Leeds career.

He played 22 games in 2 years in fact


Anyway if we had kept them you'd probably be moaning about them now, it seems to be what you do.

Hang on. Isn't it you who thinks Sutty is a top class Stand Off?

I think they are solid SL players, not top class and id hope Broadbent would be overtaking them both at some point. I honestly dont think you are giving enough consideration to the cap, we'v brought in Sezer, Austin and Fusitua, id rather have any of them 3 over Hurrell, we cant keep everbody.

On top of that, Hurrell wasnt great either, for all the fantastic highlight runs there were all the errors and defensive misreads. Like iv already said, he's a better fit for where Saints are than where we are currently imo.

I don’t mind Sutty as back up stand off, not at all and think he has great skills. I don’t mind Briscoe as winger/ back up winger. I think both should be nowhere near first choice centre however…..

Yup fair points. Do you not think Broadbent should be getting in at LC now though, and not trying to shoehorn other players in there? I’m not sure the management rate him as highly as we do…..
Class players start getting picked aged 17-18 onwards. Look at Chev Walker, Watkins, even Jack Walker….

Suttcliffes rubbish at standoff, the weakness he has to his game at Centre is magnified and even more detrimental at 6.

He's a decent defender and a decent runner with a bit of size. Not great, but solid at centre

There’s not many players that start being picked regularly at that age, especially in the modern game.

You mention Jack Walker, maybe his injury problems stem ftom the fact he was thrown in too early.

Don’t think so, just been really unlucky. That foot injury looked absolutely nothing at the time, and freakish to keep him out of the game for 2 years….
I think left centre is one of the most important positions in the team. We’ve had our best players in that position over the years and scored Most of our tries through that avenue (Senior, Moon).
