Sutton got stretchered off with a serious neck injury last week but he was good at the Raiders but not really an impact prop , Fataila Mariner is decent but struggling for form this year, he’s got pace and good defence , probably would shore up our left edge .

Both these players would be class signings in SL. It’s also important to note they both have like 2 years left on their contract at the bulldogs and the club want rid.

That means we can save a few £££ getting the bulldogs to top up their salaries. I’d prefer Blore over Fataila Mariner due to age though

Wonder what went wrong at Canterbury. I was impressed with him at Canberra.

Definitely worth a look.

I agree there ! , He was really impressive at the Raiders .

Ryan Sutton is 27, plays prop & 13, had almost 100 NRL appearances and most importantly is not a quota signing.

I’d be all over him

He’s 28 in a couple of weeks and I believe we are looking for players slightly younger than that with something to prove.

Not saying he would be a bad signing but I would prefer someone a bit more explosive.

Also think it’s telling when a club want to get rid less than a year into a 3 year contract?

We’ve supposedly signed Clune, Milnes signed for Leeds?

People turn their noses up about Milnes but there is a real player in there.
Just needs the right club and the right coach

As long as he keeps missing tackles like that he'll do for me

Props peak around 28-32 so we would get some good value from him. Name a non quota forward who is available and offers more.

The NRL is a different quality to SL and the Bulldogs are a basket case club hence why they thought resigning Reynolds was a good signing

Sutton would be a decent signing and not use up a quota spot in the process. Though just can’t see Sutton coming back to SL.

The doggies certainly seem to be a club in a right mess at the moment.

If Sutton came back to SL, could only see it being for a couple of years. Aussie fiance, have a kid (or a kid on the way) so he will do what Bateman did I reckon and go back over there

Uncle Tosh is playing poker. Letting everyone else show their hands first. Let's hope he's sitting with the aces up his sleeves.
