Quote: Dave K. "Connor gets a lot of unfair criticism from both Hull and SL fans, he played very well last year, once our pack starting playing well, there isn't many pivots who perform well when the pack is poor, he also played 6 alot with Sneyd and Shaul, neither has a good passing game, meaning he is the only creative player and tries to do too much himself. Playing with at FB with Reynolds should see his game improve massively. Plus been coached by one the best either SL FB's will help. Saying that he lacks a bit of pace to play FB internationally or in the NRL, so I'd have Tomkins there.
I think individually Tomkins, Lomax and Williams are are best three pivots, not sure they would work together though, without a controlling halfback. Probably only Sneyd and Gale are that type of player, but not sure either are good enough for this level.
Houghton is a solid SL hooker, not good enough these days for international rugby, Clarke, Mcshane and Hodgson are better hookers.'"
reason why he gets a lot of criticism is his arrogance he comes over as childish, niggly and immature sometimes there is no doubt there is a talent lurking within him but he's hardly the savior for the british team is he
