Sutton & Wootton may still be living in Welly, but their minds will already be wandering towards Perth. That's only natural.
They can spin out the cliches about being professionals and still playing this season, but let's be honest they won't be 100% focussed on their current team. Selling cars, terminating leases, enquiring on schools in WA, opening Aus bank accounts their headspaces will be full of moving on distractions. An ALM season that is already effectively over. They are only human.
But they have both been loyal servants to the club. Be nice if the Nix before the final game at home (ironically the Glory) announced that they were both moving on, and the fans could thank them. Even subbing off Wootton (4 seasons at the club) early and giving young Jayden Smith some useful ALM mins.
