John Sutton

We caught up with John Sutton at Redfern Oval, home of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Sutton has been through the best and worst of times with his local team, the Rabbitohs. When Sutton started playing for Souths in 2004, the club took home two wooden spoons in his opening three NRL seasons. Ten years later, in a stunning 2014 season, Sutton not only led Souths to their first title since 1971, he also broke the Rabbitohs’ all-time record for most number of games. The local hero was kind enough to share with us his pre-match rituals and top local tips.
