Disagree on ability.He lacks pace guile and speed of thought to be a top centre.

He does now as he’s had a lot injuries. When he came through, those in the know were saying he’s the most talented kid they’ve ever seen. If you met Sutty, it would be clear why things never panned out though…..

Are you talking about personality traits or something else?

Spot on.
I'm shocked at how poor the pair of them look.
Both painfully slow and dreadful in defence.
At least Austin looks like he's trying at times, Sezer looks like he can't be bothered.
Get rid of both in the end of season clear out for me.

Austin is trying he made two good busts/breaks yesterday leading to one try, does look our most dangerous runner, defence is woeful.
Austin clearly does not want to play/ be here, currently anyway, suspect he just taking the money looking to just run out his contract and return home or hoping for a pay out to ship out.

Just watched most of JJB's press conference. Crikey! He looked like he was literally swotting at flies some of the time. Maybe it's the lack of media training, although he is definitely not camera shy. Not of this would matter if he was a decent coach, and maybe he is. One thing that rankles though - it's as if he wasn't at the club when Agar was there. If you are going to apply the "blowtorch" at least admit your in culpability in the whole fiasco.

100% I know that there has to be an interim period and wholesale change can't happen overnight but the whole coaching team was responsible for our current performance levels and JJB Long and Walker are equally as culpable as Agar. To be fair to Agar he seems an honourable man with good integrity who was working on a 6 month rolling contract which was only supposed to be short term. Also what other duties has he had to pick up since Sinfield left. He took responsibility and stepped down. The other guys only have to coach but have been strangely quiet about their roles in our current plight. Ultimately its down to Hetherington why we are in our current malaise.

How do you know you this ? He was trying his heart out all game, and only player who looked like they could break the line. Chatting and j-ing them up behind posts. Only one sticking his neck out…..
I’d make him captain!

FYI If anyone want's to watch an uncomfortable interview. https://www.therhinos.co.uk/video/jamie ... onference/ JJB I like this bloke, he was a great servant. But stop trying to be a Martin Luther in your speeches with the shopping trolleys etc.

Absolutely nobody in the know was saying Suttcliffe was the most talented kid they've ever seen, anybody who was saying that were clueless. People in the know would tell you that Stevie Ward, just the year group before, was considerably better and considerably more talented.

They are both clearly very talented players though. And bottom line is these were the two that were supposed to lead the new era…

Fwiw in think if Stevie was still a player and captain, things would be very different now……

Think those saying Austin isn’t trying are way off the mark, he was one of the few that was trying yesterday
