Good luck to Liam for sure but I’ve not seen enough to make me think he will cut it in Leeds first 13 into the future.
I think we will need him this year, but it’s up to him to make centre his position. The thing that bugs me a bit is this whole narrative that it’s the club’s fault he’s been used as a utility. Maybe. But Sutcliffe hasn’t played well enough in any position to keep it. He wasn’t good enough at SO, wasn’t good enough in the back row by some distance for me, and centre is his best IMO but he has tough competition.
He is a talented player but things are changing at Leeds and you are going to have to be close to international class in every position to get a game soon. We will see.
