Sutty has picked up the last couple of weeks with a little bit more time and a little bit less pressure at Fb, i'd be loathe to move him from there.
Golding is a strange one, he's a talent, he's definitely not a winger, he might be a fullback but will need careful to make sure he's more Brent Webb or Dorn than Escare or Dixon. With that in mind I can't help but think a spell in the halves might help, though it doesn't really solve the organiser/old head if Mags drop in form is terminal.
Ive said it before, Sutty is very similar in style and stature to micheal morgan, in that respect it may be useful to play him at fullback for a year or possibly 2, where he (for the first time) can play regularly in the sam e position for an extended period, using his running game but also developing his passing and kicking but without the pressure of knowing that if he doesn't create none will- as he had earlier in the year
If zak doesn't leave though I would probably stick Sutty in the halves till the end of the year and then assess options
As for Golding, he probably needs a few more years development, hopefully aided by us setting up a reserve team next year, as well as some loan spells. In that regard someone like sutcliffe taking the role for a year or 2 would be ideal, looking to Golding as a possible long term option
