| Seems surprising Momorovski is considering a coaching role at only 28 years old.

Hmmm and it tells you all you need to know where his head is and where his performances have been... he should be at his peak at 28.

I don't think Connor has a strong bargaining position. Despite his obvious talent, he's failed to deliver at both Hull and Hudds. Now, regarded as damaged goods, he's arrived at the biggest sleeping giant ( we now merit that tag) in the game. It's his last chance saloon and though he won't be on peanuts, he should be on a wage commensurate with recent performances. I take encouragement from Blease's history of getting the best out of players who have run out of road. Hopefully it works out for both.

Enjoyed hearing Blease and Oates talk about him. Nice man but you wouldn't want to make him angry. A trait in common with all my best teachers. Also really great to hear that Blease knew almost before he arrived, that he'd likely be there for 25.

Apparently so. Not for me but let’s see how he goes. Massive ego and doesn’t seem the sort of character that fits into a good team culture that club officials have banged on about us not having and wanting to create again for a while now. He will have a lot of work to do to win over many of the fans that’s for sure but as we all know if he’s creating try’s from the off and winding up opponents and their fans (that he excels at) then we will probably end of loving him..either that or he continues with his petulant ways blaming everyone around him for errors rather than himself and he gets bombed out of the club within a year

He definitely didn't fail to deliver, was overall excellent fir us and a huge loss. Fantastic talent, I'd say his best position is centre, but could do a great job at 6 too. Lacks pace, which is often exposed at FB and loses his head a but too easy.
Think it's a really smart signing for Leeds

I seen loads of people mentioning Arthur and him getting the best of of him, does he have a history of that, I know he didn't manage to get the best out of French and Field(may have been reasons for that) and he was sacked after 2 poor seasons where he had some very good players.
Not a criticism, genuinely interested.

| I think the reference is to his disciplined approach to the players attitude. I don't think Field and french had those problems.
If BA can get Connors attitude right his ability will come through

It's a fair comment. Arthur has said quite a few times that one of the players he's most enjoyed coaching over here is Newman. He's probably our most similar player to Connor in terms of talent and temperament. It's been very interesting to see what Shaun Wane has brought out of Newman when he's played for England, which is similar to what Wayne Bennett brought out in Connor.
I think sometimes the best thing for a player with an ego and reputation is a coach with a bigger ego and reputation, combined with a deft touch on how to bring the best out of that player.
Time will tell whether Arthur can do that with Connor and Newman, but I certainly expect him to do far better than Rohan Smith in that regard.

| Be interesting to see where Connor fits in.
I also think centre is his best position.
If Momirovski goes and we bring in Sivo, should be Sivo, Newman, Connor and Handley as the 3/4's.
Hall/Lumb as back ups.
BA may go with Handley in the centre and Connor as utility.
But then we could need his goal kicking.
