This isn't all his fault because there wasn't really a senior player around him. He was also christened as the successor to Kevin Sinfield which given the god like status the Leeds fans have given Sinfield, almost guaranteed Sutcliffe would fail.
The next step in his career is to go to a club like Wakefield or Salford and be allowed to take control of the team from 6 or 13. Then, if he succeeds he can then go back to a big club to take on this role. Similar to what Jordan Adbul has done at London.
