I know that there's not much time left on his contract, but I hope that we're asking for a significant fee in return.

If we let another prop go, don't think we'll have any option to bring one in, given that we've let FPN go as well.

Let him go but at the end of the year, can’t be 2 props light.

If he goes this week (for example) does his full salary count on the cap?

No Just his salary up to the end of March.

I’m not a big fan of Sutton, I think he lacks discipline, has issues with his ball carry and I’m not convinced he has the right attitude when it comes to his fitness.

The potential is there and for me that is what the NRL clubs see.

For me he can go, but now we are 2 Props down, and should have manufactured some cap space we need to invest that back in the team as a matter of priority.

Letting him go without a signing lined up would be a mistake.

Add to this our issues with size, or lack of and we seem to be happy letting our 2 bigger units leave if we don’t have something lined up then I’d be very disappointed.

Replace Sutton with Hamlin and we're better for me.

Who though? Who would be available at this stage of the season? Liam Watts would have been absolutely ideal and would have replaced with ease FPN and Sutton.

I just cant see a new prop signing during the season. I think he’ll promote from within personally, which in the grand scheme of things isn’t a bad call.

The Hamlin who has never played a competitive first team match?

You may well be right, but that's a big call/guess considering Hamlin's lack of first team experience.

Very early to say that IMO. Sutton has had some big performances at SL level, just struggles to do it week in week out. Hamlin hasn't even made his competitive debut at SL level, so struggling to understand how anyone could claim he's better than Sutton

Wow, Really?

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Mar 21, 2018 1:29 am  

All this talking up of Hamlin is a little unfair a couple of reserve outings is the basis of this I assume?

As for Kibula he too isn’t ready yet in my opinion and needs to the loaned out ASAP if Sutton is going, to give him time to learn his trade as he is very raw at the moment
