Whilst Fiji Bati attempted to call Sutton up for their training squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.^[2], Sutton has never played for Fiji^[3][4].

Sutton was named in the preliminary 40 man squad for game 1 of the 2009 State of Origin series and was selected for City in the City vs Country match on 8 May 2009.^[5] He was one of the favorite for the NSW halves combination, but injured a knuckle during the City-Country match (Ironically replaced in that game by Craig Wing) and missed the Origin series as a result.

In 2009 Sutton won the George Piggins Medal as the South Sydney Rabbitohs' best and fairest player for the season.^[6]
