    Yes. I've thought that they've been a bit overrated in recent weeks, but the last 2 games they've been good, and still improving too.

    I wish Flash was still posting here. I remember him saying that he's never seen Sutton have a good game. I'd like to know if he watched the game last Sunday :p

    How has Hayne's form been lately? Has he been scoring many tries?
    I remember him scoring a long try the other week..

    He's been going great. Not in the type of form he was in last season where he was bumping off every 2nd player and getting great off loads away, but more of a matured role.

    He put in a massive torpedo punt the other night. I think it was from his own thirty and when it landed in the in goal, it bounced with a bit of back spin and stayed in the in goals.

    It wont end i mean we have to off load just to go under the Cap for next year peobably say these will be the names.

    GREG INGLIS, Likely to leave for either NFL or something with more money.

    COOPER CRONK , More than likely wont stay because from what Ive heard Storm want to keep Smith and Slater.

    BRETT WHITE , Cannot keep that many fowards without losing someone decent and i feel they will try to keep both Blair and Lima as they are paid less.

    So thats my big 3 that i feel the Storm will most likely lose.

    Hey Pecks what the **** happened to Souths in Auckland.

    FFS Sutton dropped the ball about 20 times and is the most overated player ive ever seen.

    I was watching as you know i always had a soft spot for Souths like me second fav team.

    Sutton needs to be dropped. Thats my opinion.

    Sandow needs to be dropped. He has given us nothing for a year and a half now, and is clearly out of his league.
    Sutton wasn't too bad yesterday, he at least set up a couple of trys. I'm glad Wesser will get suspended. He's been pretty **** poor the last month or so. Fairly safe under the high ball, but terrible at running the ball up during attacking raids.

    Crocker was pretty rusty, though that was to be expected seeing as he hasnt played this season. Hopefully Roy will be back this week along with Dave Taylor. We'll need them against the chocolate soldiers this weekend.

    McPherson was **** yesterday and his dropped ball just before half time proved costly. Some weeks he's solid and doing his part, but other weeks he can be utter crap, and he never really seems to find his way to the try line.

    Imo, Sutton has improved over the last few weeks, but he needs a solid 7 next to him to take some of the heat off, and Sandow isnt that man. Bring in Cooper Cronk, and let Sandow play out the year with Norths.

    I counted Sutton make 3 mistakes which were huge in the last 10 minutes.

    Wesser needs to go Sutton i feel is way Overated and i like most Souths players. Sandow isnt to bad i feel he is just to small and isnt great at creating plays.

    Isaac Luke is a God aswell as Burgess.

    Still feel Sutton is way Overated and Pecks i know you like him but **** he is making mor mistakes than ever. IMO.

    Keep Luke and co get rid of Sandow and Sutton at the end of the year and go after Cooper Cronk because i doubt we will keep him at the Storm.

    Sutton is miles ahead of Sandow. I know he gets under a lot of peoples skin a bit, and mine too sometimes, but I think he's 2nd in try assists so far, and he started the year out fairly poor in my opinion.

    He's not a natural 5/8, but we are choc full of quality in the forwards and dont have anyone else to fill in the 5/8 role if we moved him to lock.

    Even though he often looks disinterested and goes quiet at times, he's still better than Sandow and Sandow actually looks like he's trying his guts out.

    Shame Wesser got off cos I wanted him suspended. He's been good under the high ball but **** at doing what most modern day fullbacks should be doing when on the attack, and thats finding the gaps and breaking the line.

    He is, he's 190cm and not your average, nor a natural 5/8. To be honest, I dont really see a natural position for him, because whenever I've seen him play lock he tends to get fatigued due to the defensive responsibilities, and he isnt fast enough to play in the centres.
