Ratboy gets 1 match ban, then allowed to miss the England game, for which he was not called up for anyway.

Thought Richie Myler looked class tonight. Looking forward to seeing how he goes v NZ

Looked much better having a good pack and a half back partner in the 30 mins I got to watch due to the awful our league site.

I do think he needs picking in 1 position & staying there but agree completely he's one of many who could do with a player like JP ripping em a new one before during & after games.

Since I first saw him at academy level I believe Sutcliffe could make a very good ball playing#13.

Isn’t big enough or have the balls for being in the pack in my opinion.

He can't pass a ball.

Would like to see him in the 2nd row though. He is tough and awkward to put down. Think he could go well there though would clearly be a risk and tbh may just be another position he can play rather than one he can excel at.

I genuinely fear for him and think he just be one season away from drifting down the league and into the championship.

I don’t have a problem with that. I have a problem with him not being punished properly during the game.

Exactly. Ratboy knew exactly what he was doing. BUt he put his hand up & acknowledged it was an accident. Bololx. If Ben Westwood had attempted decapitation of Ratboy then held his hand up he would have been seeing red, rather than a deserved knighthood.

I could see him leaving us and going somewhere else where it will click in a certain position and he will finally fulfil potential. Maybe he needs to do that to progress now. See what Furner thinks, a new coach can work wonders sometimes for a player and Sutcliffe has known nothing but the Mac regime really.

Just look at how Holbrook, Powell, Price have improved their teams & individual players. I think there is a SL player in Sutcliffe. He just strikes me as someone who it all came too easy to. A bit of a Richie Mathers. For those of us with a fraction of the talent it enrages me watching them waste it away.
