We have the worst halfback combo in the league. Whoever decided that Sutcliffe was good enough to replace Sinfield needs to be removed from the club. SOS Sinfield. Then go and buy a class halfback for 2017.

Over to you Loiner81

No.

I forgot, did Sinfield do all our defending last year?
Good to see patience on here has lasted all of 2 games before were requesting we give up on our young players and bring back a 35 year old half back, why dont we bring back JP and Danny Buderus and Gary Schofield whilst were at it
Plus what half back do you think were gonna buy? Some second rate Aussie like Saints have got? cos their result this weekend was so much better

No, but his brain created chances. Sutcliffe is clueless. Lilley is raw. Sutcliffe would be OK at Wakey

Cliff Lyons is still playing down under in Country RL.

And he still smokes 60 cigs a day!

Billy dipping his bread in today

Used to love that guy.....and what's Dave Heron up to these days?

Did you watch any games last year? Sutcliffe managed to tear apart Saints Wigan Cas and Catalan (away), you don't become bad overnight hes just returned from 7 months out
Plus what do you think think sinfield would have done better today? Get 8 assists so we win? your living in a dream world if you think Sutcliffe is our major problem

Btw why do even think bringing him back is a possibility? he was pushing 35 and wanted to retire from RL whilst he was still playing well, and give a significantly slower sport a try whilst he still could, if he stopped playing Union it would be to retire not to come back

Edit: something a may agree with is that we should should try get JP back as a coach or whatever, just as a presence in our dressing room

Think Sinfield isn't the type to go back on his commitment to Carnegie even if the call was put out to him.

Knee jerk claptrap...it will NEVER happen

Lets get behind the young halves instead of complaining, the rest of the team let them down today, lets see how they go when other people step up, like I said they would have needed 8 more assists or tries between them if we were gonna win with defence that bad
Still back them, though a cup win and top 8 finish may have to suffice

MOT

We did not replace properly, Sutcliffe is a potential a very good player, however it has been for several years we lacked pace in the halfs. Its now coming home to roost. We should have got a world class half back to replace Sir Kev. Danny Mc, before the injury is going to long in the tooth. A long season of struggle awaits

Nothing to do with HB's. The focus and mindset has let us down. Spent so long celebrating the efforts of 2015 that we didn't start focusing on the 2016 campaign until much later than we should've been.

Name a world class half back in SL...
They dont exist mate, it would be a second rate aussie who's too old and doesnt care about the club

Bring sinfield back would be like dislodging only half the shrapnel from a bullet wound, temporarily relieving pain, but still with the long term problem. It's going to be a difficult season.

Sutcliffe will be a very good player given time but he is not fit every tackle he makes or comes out of he is on one leg and is confidence is shot to .He needs a month or two at fev just like when he was at Bradford but sadly we cannot afford that luxury.

Said it before but he went out the right way wouldn't want to see him back. Still early days no need for panic

Well said Ferdy


We will be fine guys keep the faith

As a fan of another club, maybe take a look at George Williams who took over the 6 shirt at Wigan last year, and was slated by his own fans for a good part of the early season. Turned out alright for him. Give Sutcliffe a break

Exactly mate! in the first half of last season it was Sutcliffe not Williams who was being tipped for the England squad, it shows how much these young players can improve when given time and responsibility, imo sutcliffe by the end of the year will be as good or better

It's a fair point.

Last year we got to a glimpse of his potential, he is come back of a long term serious injury. He is clearly playing a bit broken at the moment and had mags not got injured I would imagine he wouldn't have played today.

I am not convinced that he is the answer at stand off but people at the club in a far better position to judge than me think he is so he at least deserves a chance and patience to grow into the role not just a few games

Why dont you think he is a stand off? theres a few with that opinion on here but I don't understand it

What is it about sport that causes some fully grown adults brains to cease working? Whether it's violence or threatening behaviour or, in cases like this, coming out with utter, childish nonsense. I just don't understand it.
