| Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="Mr. Zucchini Head"This is a huge year for Jake Connor. Brett Hodgson is one of the great full backs of the modern era, and he did that through his attitude and his attention to detail. He wasn't blindingly quick or athletic, and he didn't have the natural ability that Connor did. But his positional play and his reading of the game was exceptional. He did all of the little things right.
He's come in and given Connor the number 1 shirt and from day one he has spoken excitedly about what he could do there. It's a position that suits Connor perfectly imo, and I expect us to adopt a style of play that suits him much better too. If he gets his head down and learns what Hodgson has to teach him and combines that with the ability we already know he has then he will definitelybe in this discussion at the end of the year.'"
We’ve been hearing this about Connor for the past 7 years. When exactly is he going to reach this potential all the hull fans say he has? He will be retiring in a few years.
Actual quality players show if from an early age, not their late 20’s

| For me:
1. S.Tomkins
2. Makinson
3. Percival
4. Gildart
5. Farnworth
6. Williams
7. Gale
8. Walmsley
9. Roby
10. T.Burgess
11. Bateman
12. Farrell
13. Thompson
14. Clark
15. Sutton
16. Whitehead
17. Watts
Reserves: Johnstone, Connor, Lomax, Hodgson, Philbin, Cooper, Currie
No Super League player is soft, but any time Wigan play a big game against Saints, Lomax tends to spend time on the floor getting treatment, then go missing. I think he's a talented player, but it takes more than that at international level. The Aussies get nasty if they sense an upset. Long and Deacon both had their faces patched back together after illegal hits against Aus/NZ. Long even stayed on and put in an outstanding performance after Mason did him, I don't think Lomax would be up for that.
Edit - totally forgot Williams!

Mike Cooper over Ryan Sutton.

Sutton went well in the second half of the year for the Raiders. You will have seen more of Cooper than me obviously but I'd drop Watts before Sutton if Cooper is playing that well.

I rate him to be honest, showed up pretty well at international level when given the chance IMO. Had a good year at Warrington.

He's a very good player but, while he is "good" in a number of positions and could offer great utility value in the squad, I wouldn't have him as first choice FB.

I've see you want Tomkins at full back (fair enough) but struggling to work out who you're advocating for in the halves as you don't seem to rate any of the other options.

Been our best player for the last two seasons along with Clark. Slogs his guts out every single week and gives 100%. Makes lots of metres, tackles and offloads and puts in 80 min performances. He's carried our pack these last couple of years. Outstanding front rower.
