Agree Bizkit. Tough, brave and effective defender, a yard slow, and a suspect kick. In the right circumstances he'd flourish. As it is, we ask him to cover blokes with a noticeable speed advantage, and he still does well.
But gee, with both Duffman and Johnno out of the team his kicking was exposed (although he wasn't the lone ranger there).
Sutcliffe is an elite runner, but doesn't have elite acceleration, so he's just as likely to get burn in those first 10m. Unlike Spurr, he doesn't have the toughness or savvy to hold his own just yet.
