People always said but what about McDermott etc and 3 years seems so harsh but maybe Jack was right.

Looking at your 3 year rule, then McDermott would have left before he won the treble last season!!
The imaginery 3 year rule pops up again :lol:
As does waneball, arrogance, injuries etc.

I said we should freshen things up at the end of last season but saying the same things over and over is getting tedious!!

Don't think there was much of a choice. We didn't really have anyone to put there who could match the defensive work rate and mobility of O'Loughlin or Bateman. Burke was probably a better bet but Sutton has played loose forward before.

No matter who played there we were always going to lack defensive mobility, particularly in the middle of the park. Mossop is now a joke of a player. Sutton was caught out badly a few times. Burke is good but is still prone to be beaten by players with a good step. Clubb must be carrying a knock because he's nowhere near his energetic self. Bretherton is usually a strong defender but he hasn't played in months so was probably lacking match fitness. Tautai is good for 15 minutes but will also be easily exposed when he tires.
Is see Sutton as a prop Cherry. Personally, I would have combined Tautai and Burke at LF.

How was Jack right? the only reason he didn't stay anywhere longer than 3 years was because he didn't like the board members interfering, it had nothing to do with the performance or success of the team :wink:

They had their day at the beach. At around 20-0 they were chanting "Are you Rhinos in disguise?"!

At 40 it was "We're gonna win the League"!

Last 5 minutes they dubbed us 'Wigan Rhinos'!
