Cant say I got that impression, just alluding to the fact hes got areas to improve. Hes the best viable option at the minute at centre so I'd be surprised.

All depends on what they plan to do at 6 for this week. If Sutty plays 6 then centres will remain the same.
Good test this as Cas looked in control v a poor attacking performance by the Wire. Agar spoke about fixing up our right side defence. I hope he has also been working with Luke Briscoe on staying on his wing and not charging inside to try and shut down a half, FB, second row or centre. He needs to stick with olpherts or he could have a field day.
That said I fully anticipate Sutcliffe will still be at 6. If that's the case I'd like to see a really strong/physical middle rotation and dominate that area with Mik and Prior starting, Smith 13 and Tetevano and King coming off the bench. Maybe Thompson starting in place of mellor too to add even more physicality to the pack from the off.
We seem to have a glut of centres at the moment - Nichol and Stewart coming through, noises that the club might see Edwards as a centre too. Noticed Oli Field is apparently wanting to move to 13 as well. I know we haven't seen them play for a while but there is still some cracking talent in the system. Can't wait to see the academy start up playing games again.
I quite like aspects of A Sutcliffe's game and he seems a good professional .
