Quote: who needs flankers? "connolly was a good centre and an awful fullback'"
i'm sorry but i have to dissagree with you regarding connolly,he was a fantastic player in both positions,i still regard him as a very good signing by the rhinos and even at the back end of his career.
connolly was very good and in both positions too ,he even won the lance todd trophy whilst playing at full back and in a beaten rhinos side in 2003
imo garry connolly was the guiding light behing richie mather's rise to prominence at the rhinos due to his guidance.
i'd bet that if you asked mather's on his opinion on connolly that he would tell you just how good a player he was
