Could Sutcliffe be our new Kevin Sinfield

Well neither of them had/have any pace.
Maybe Sutcliffe would be ok in the old style LF role.
Positives is that some of the youngsters got a run out and Sutcliffe's kicking.
And the shoe ins should now be aware there's competition for their place in the 17.

Really good to see the kids taking their opportunity and hopefully giving Furner cause to think twice over Easter.

You can only beat what is in front of you and they did that well. All credit to the lads.

For what it’s worth, I thought Myler was very good last night, although against a very poor side. We definitely missed him marshalling us around the park at KR.

Do we look a more balanced side with Tui at FB?

I have only seen the try highlights, so not in a position to comment on overall. However, seeing those try’s, Newmans were not just good try’s, they really took some finishing. It would be astonishing nit to give the lad a shirt to try and back that up.

Also looked like Lolohea was heavily involved in a lot of try’s. As people have continually said, fullback is his best position, he has looked the part in two appearances there.

Spot on here about Tui. Looks 10x the player roaming about at the back, and linking in between the second rower and centre. That flat ball he threw to Newman in the second half was world class. Hope to see him get a run at 1 now, and give Walker a bit of a lay off.

Furner alluded to Tui and he needed to look at fb as a way of fighting his way back into the team!

Its difficult to gauge a team and players against inferior opposition like last night but for me the positives i took from last night,

Lolohea is 100% a fullback and can step for a chubby lad. His link play, final passes and getting the ball out of yardage last night was impressive.
Newman is exceptional. Every try needed finishing and he looked strong, fast and a natural try scorer.
Mustapha could be our Luke Thompson if we develop him well enough. Fast, mobile and likes to find his front alot.
Albert, running direct from KO and not slowing down. I want to see that in SL. If we get that with Seumanufagai, Singo, Peteru even Donaldson we should eat the metres up.
Myler performs well with a pack thats on top. Replicate this in SL and the rest follows.

Thought McLelland couldve done with been on from the start to really get an idea of how he goes in a full game. Always difficult for a halfback to come off the bench late on.

Overall, survive this year and the future is very positive.
