So "INFO WE ALL NEED TO HAVE" .. I have one to ask, I read today that John Sutton (30 yrs young) is on the outer at the Burrow, they dropped him as captain for this season, left him out of the Nines squad, and then was questioned today about a possible link to the Tigers, to which he denied .. of course :exclamation: :exclamation:
So my question is, you as coach of the mighty WestsTigers, would you take him in .. :question: :question: Yes or No and why .. :sign:

SUTTON OPENS UP ON LOSING SOUTHS’ CAPTAINCY
Rabbitohs
February 3, 2015Facebook198Twitter2
SOUTH Sydney forward John Sutton has broken his silence after being controversially dumped as skipper in favour of Greg Inglis.
>
Souths announced last month that Inglis would be installed as Rabbitohs skipper, despite Sutton leading the foundation club to their first premiership in 42 years during the 2014 season.
>
While coy about the details behind the decision, Sutton says he has talked extensively to Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire about the captaincy and that he supports the change.
>
“What me and ‘Madge’ (Maguire) talk about it is between us,” Sutton says when asked whose decision it was to appoint Inglis as captain.
>
“We had a few conversations about it but at the end of the day, I love this club and I’m very proud to be part of this squad.
>
“Even though I don’t have the ‘c’ next to my name I’m still a leader at this club.
>
“I’ll still be a leader on the field, I just won’t have the hassle of doing the stuff off the field. . . I can just focus on my football.
>
“This is the way we’ve gone and I’m happy with the decision.”
>
There were whispers circulating that Sutton was eyeing an immediate move to the Wests Tigers, however, the Kensington junior says he plans to see out the remaining three years of his contract at Redfern.
>
“I won’t be going anywhere soon. There was a rumour going around that I was going to the Tigers, I don’t know where that came from,” he says.
>
After having some work done on his shoulder during the off-season, Sutton says he hopes to be fit to play in Souths’ World Club Challenge match against St Helens on Feburary 22.
>
“I had the clean out on my shoulder, they thought I might need stablisation but it was all good,” he says.
>
“Hopefully I’ll be back for the world club challenge.”
