Am I missing something?
Sutcliffe isn't a centre whilst I have a hole in my backside. He's the poor man's Joel Tomkins.
We have one specialist, experienced centre in Newman. That's it.
Gildart may not be the actual answer, but at least he's an actual centre and we aren't plugging that gap with the likes of Briscoe, Martin, Mellor, Donaldson or Sutcliffe.
Let's also not forget that pre-Covid, Sutcliffe had agreed a deal with Cas, only for them to pull the plug and he stayed with us.
This is nothing new.
