@sneakdefreak is the South's number12, John Sutton, the same guy that played stand off for them many times previously?
Remarkable skills to move to the second row if so
Yup same guy - he's been around forever but I'm still surprised that he's played over 300 NRL games as well.
What's strange is that he's the first Souths player to do so (edit: although that's probably just for the one club).
-
I like Sutton (one of the very very few Rabbits players). He was a very good 5/8 but much more effective in the back row with his ball playing ability and size. The emotion leading up to his 300th game was great celebrating with his family.
-
@act-crusader Hmmm he's a real enigma for me. He's always been a lazy defender for me as was shown with Ben Hunt's try last night. I thought he was gonna be a great player when he first came onto the scene in 2004.

If you can believe The Mole on twitter, it appears that the Warriors can't fit Isaac Luke under the cap and he will sign with the Newcastle Knights.

@sneakdefreak Are the Knights collecting Kiwi hookers?

Maybe they can send us one in return. Griffin will be good to fill the white guy spot vacated by Simon.
Who's coming in to the Warriors that's sucking up the cap that was free the past two years?

I'm not unhappy about that, especially if he was on good coin

He was basically the reason we made the finals.

One good year out of 3 for us? Which Isaac turns up for us if we give him a juicy contract?

At least next year I wont have the disappointment of us going out in the first week of finals. 1 in 3 is good enough for Johnson to collect his $1m.

We know SJ is a bit flaky. You couldn't accuse him of spending too much time at the pie cart

Bahahaha, so just being a blouse is inherently better than being a fatty? Hot missus though.

@Nepia I heard Kata is getting a pay rise.

he absolutely was not "basically the reason".

Bah, semantics. Without him we don't make the finals.

Seriously mods, where's our downvote button.

I'm not sold on that. He was only good when everyone else was good. Luke looked better this year because we got good starts to our sets from the back 3, and our forwards regularly found their bellies. In games where this didn't happen, Luke completely disappeared. He's almost as much of a downhill skier as SJ.
Yes, he had a good year, but i don't consider him a catalyst of our wins.

Ah well, agree to disagree, I don't think we get close to the finals without him - Green was getting the organising credit early on but in reality Luke should have got a bunch of that credit.
Anyway, depends on who they replace him with or if Roache is going to be a good un (I've not seen enough to really know).
-
Nathaniel Roache was always expected to be the starting hooker in 2019 so it look's like the Warriors are #trustingtheprocess
But Roache is coming off back surgery which ruled him out of the 2018 season so it's more likely he will not be the replacement (back injuries never seem to fully heal). I'm hereby putting my support on Mason Lino and Karl Lawton playing at rake.
