If Sutton comes back motivated and in shape then he will be a very good signing for whiever gets him and I would have taken him over Thompson (due to bigger fitness worries with Luke) but I always thought it was disrespectful to Wigan and Superleague how he went over there and lost all his puppy fat, if he does the same in reverse he might not be so great a signing.
Looks like if he comes back it will be to Leeds I reckon but Saints you would think would be interested.

This.

More than any other player who went over, Sutton showed what he could have been giving Wigan, and wasn't.

Name me one player that has come back to strengthen the club


Get real, No player in the modern game is going to "Test Themselves", they are going for the lifestyle and money, The End

Tomkins came back and strengthened us, he was better than Escare, Same for Sarge and Budgie, they might not have been as good as when the went but came back and were better than was here

Sutton really seemed to get his act together in his early days at Canberra. The question is will he just fall back into his old bad habits when he returns to the UK?

What is this about?

Something he clearly could have done when he was playing for us, but chose not to.

As a junior player, I wanted nothing more than to play for Wigan. It's difficult to imagine someone getting that gig and then not putting the work in.

None of those players came back better or stronger than before they left, some fans really do need to take their cherry and white glasses off

Not trying to get anyone to bite, the fact is no player has come back to the club better than they where before they left
