Ordinarily I'd agree with you. But we saw last year he did not earn it, and played far too many games before getting injured.
I just hope Ricky has come to his senses in 2022 and picks based on merit. Meaning Croker, Whitehead and Hodgson will have to fight for their positions.

Agree and that's been a big problem through this little low period we're in - that some veteran players aren't being dropped or benched despite strings of bad performances while others are being unfairly dropped after decent showings or games where they aren't given a fair opportunity (e.g. only being given 15 minutes and doing nothing wrong). If Ricky is actually prepared to select on merit this year and not personal favouritism then I'll be happy but I'm yet to see it.

Ryan Sutton focussed on fresh new season, not a new contract
Ryan Sutton's contract is set to expire at the end of this year, making him one of several Raiders stars off contract in 2022 including hooker Tom Starling, Corey Harawira-Naera and Corey Horsburgh.
"I really just want to concentrate on having a good preseason. You can get really distracted by that stuff," Sutton said. "If the Raiders want to move or if other things are there, I don't know, I've just got to make sure I concentrate on myself and what's going on in the present rather than thinking about the future."

That’s an interesting take. It doesn’t sound like he is dead keen to re sign but doesn’t smell of Sydney either. Incidentally I do agree on Sydney as pretty sure his GF is from there.

Unfortunately for my waistline, I started eating a chocolate bar every time we sacked a promising junior, every time a referee pulled an out of left field decision against us and worst of all, every time Edrick Lee dropped the ball with the line open.
