Yet we have given this guy a three year contract.A squad man who shouldnt be in our first seventeen yet Hodgson seems to think he will be a starting centre.
Even the guy on the radio after the match said he had no leg speed for a centre

But surely even you must admit it's a upgrade on Griffin? Good solid all round pro right age I think signing him and his all round value means we can get rid of smith and lovodua and use the quota places on a couple of big forwards

That was Alan Hunte in reference to him playing 6....

He was talking about Sutcliffe as a centre nothing to do about playing 6.
The reference was that his lack of leg speed would always be a detriment to his attacking game

still good enough for some on here.
They are still on fantasy Island with Adam Pearson

Where's the quotes where anybody has said it's good enough after today?

He really wasn't. He said his lack of leg speed makes him less of a threat at 6, but is a good centre.

Alan Carr would be an upgrade on Griffin but if we signed him there would be some on here who would find a positive in the signing.
Signing Sutcliffe another utility play on a three year deal who the coach at Leeds is quite happy to release does not show any real intent to make up ground on some of the top clubs.
If you buy average you usually get what you pay for.

So because he is slow we play him at centre?

But unfortunately we are in the position to sign a top player from saints Wigan catalan etc. You wanted us to sign simm but he can't even get into a injury hit saints team so that shows how average he is
