Bumbook did a 'could he be the best in the world if he plays well?' article before Origin. Everybody was like nah bro wait in line behind Darius Boyd, Moylan, Slater, GI...etc (somebody said he would struggle to be 7th best).
He's still got a lot to prove, but I think he's made a serious claim for the title with such a complete and ruthless performance. Can't wait to see how he develops with rep experience (and hopefully heightened confidence) + a better coach/culture at club level. Not dissing the Tigers as a brand, but I think he'll go a lot further with us. Reminds me of a pre-injury, modern-day Minichiello. Superb signing!!
From a team perspective, we're building a massive dynasty if we can replicate our Origin form on a regular basis. One that's exciting rather than the 'clinical' stars of this day...
Boyd should have been charged with rent for living on top of Tedesco after every time he tackled him.
You could set your watch by that first QLD penalty. First 4 minutes of them tackling NSW with those 8 second monkey grip holds... then NSW tackle Boyd for 2 seconds, milk it Darius go on you mug, ref blows whistle to QLD. Excruciating!!

I had him in the top three before last night. I think he can be number one by the end of next season. Massive signing for us. Absolutely massive.
Don't think I'll ever get over RTS leaving,that cut too deep for me..
Knowing Teddy is on his way alleviates the pain a lot,but losing RTS was a hit very hard to overcome!

I said it way before the game that Sutton is QLDs secret weapon and then when I heard the whistle for the first penalty 'it has to be Sutton!'.. and... it was. Thank goodness it was Ceccin the lead ref otherwise there would have been more of those

Sutton the grub lover, just a spectator when Smith got his grubby paws on Mitch after his kick
All of those defensive efforts - from the amazing try savers to the faultless positional play - are what make him a more complete fullback than Roger who can't seem to tackle a mannequin.
