Connor is a good player. Has is issues but Arthur has history of keeping mercurial players like Norman and Hayne in line. He gets us an outside back without using a quota spot.

On the whole Harrison thing, he was never ours. But given he did ok on his loan spell in covid it always felt like we missed out. Nothing to do with Smith though. Said on another thread if we’re talking home grown forwards I think a double swoop for Mulhern and trout could be good.

Agree

He is great for team spirit as well. Every time a try is conceded he points a finger at other team mates and blames them even when its his error or fault.
Add to that he is slow, lazy and cannot tackle just what we need.
If true and this is the best Blease can come up with then there are doubts about him.

In the Brad Arthur era Connor is a very good signing. I probably wouldn’t have agreed if Smith was still the coach with his laid back style.

Also think Liam Byrne would be an excellent addition, if he does actually move.

I note the negative comments re Blease already as soon as the first name is linked. Come on guys, Leigh played Salford last night in the playoffs and their squads are full of players you would turn your nose up at. They were 4th and 5th and we were 8th.

Let’s see the whole picture play out and give Blease a chance, he will be a success.

Could it be that we’re looking to find a way to send Jack out on loan too. Connor gives a bit of flexibility.

But my only other thought would be if we’re signing him it’s either to start or for depth. As much utility as he offers I can’t see us carrying him and O’Connor on the bench.

Goudemand gone

Connor, feck no!
We don’t need that level of richard head alongside other richards like Newman Bentley etc. il bet he was one of the bad attitudes Luke Robinson commented a couple of weeks ago aswell and thats why they are off loading
And he is crap

Beat me to it.

Nice to see. Just really hope we have some good incoming

Goudemand not lacking in effort. Just not big or dynamic enough. Writing was on the wall when he couldn’t beat out Donaldson.

Yeah, that small middles mentality.

Like Donaldson etc would be OK as a hard working backrow in a big pack, just not a prop in a small pack

Goudemand gone. Another poor recruitment decision reversed. Well done Ian.

So Goudamand is the first to go, I doubt he'll be the last. I think Connor maybe Momorowski's replacement, centre is definitely his best position IMO. It's definitely a gamble, but I prefer this to Rapana

I think MOM will go apparently theyre homesick, I’ve got every sympathy as ive been through it

If they weren't homesick, I'm sure they will be soon when single digit temperatures and 7 hours of daylight kicks in. It can't be easy to adjust to.

Yes agree with that. Arthur will sort him out. Wayne Bennett rated Connor too
