When I saw that break off the short ball I thought that I was watching Hoffman again.

He couldn't wait to pass the ball though. Open field running clearly isn't his thing

It's great to see how well he's playing at the moment. He's shown glimpses over the last couple of years but he's strung together a good 7 or 8 games now and is building consistency.

I do wonder if they'll strip some weight off him and get him in that back row on a regular basis. He's took to it like a duck to water.

Once he gets rid of the puppy fat that he seems to be carrying and turns it into muscle he could prove to be quite an handful.

He does look better running out wider, he did look like they had tried to bulk him up too fast, some of the bigger players need to fillout naturally.

Credit where it is due, after initial promise I have been a big critic of his. Up until this last month or so he just seemed to be going through the motions and not really running his weight or putting himself about.

His form however recently has been outstanding. Really aggressive, taking it to the opposition not sure if he was carrying a knock or if it was a loss of form but he is firing again now.

His form has just been typical of a young forward IMO (unless you're Sam Burgess or similar). He's had some good games but consistency was an issue. He looks to be growing now and really gaining confidence and to string together an excellent 6-8 weeks of performances should really see him start to believe in his ability.

The likes of Scott Taylor and Ben Currie (two form forwards in the comp) have both been through similar at the start of their first team careers. Early promise followed by a dip in form to then really find their confidence again.

Possibly the dip in form was due to being in/out of the team and being moved around positionally a bit. I suspect the improvement is a direct result of being in the team more consistently. Not unusual for younger players especially.

Has been playing well recently and long may it continue.

Does the signing of FPN mean that Wane now sees Sutton as a back rower rather than a prop?

Maybe in the short term. I can't see him spending more than a few years there though.

In our first game of the season against you I think he played well ran hard and tackled hard. Then was surprised to see his performances few weeks after against us completely different. He is young and his body is still maturing and he will develop in to a good forward he probably needs to convert some of his weight into muscle tho it looks like he's been on a weight gaining diet but not really done the physical training to match what's going in if that makes sense?

I also think that props especially take a bit longer to grow into their position physically.

Man of the match for me today. Fantastic performance. Really finding his form in this position
