Quote: Hullrealist "I think peats would be a panic signing for you guys. He’s a decent player but at his age, he would just be a stop gap. And on a lot of money. I reckon you should look to project signing from the championship that gives you a bit more depth and potential.
I don’t think you’ll sign Connor personally. He’s too influential for us and replacing him would be too difficult at this point. For what it’s worth though, if you do sign him your side will be dangerous.
I know hudds rate Lolohea very highly but I don’t think he’s got anything on Connor. Connor is the most talented rugby player in the country. He’s just got to learn a bit of patience and step away from the image he’s created himself. His discipline is nowhere near as bad as people think but there have been a few times he’s been punished on reputation. The bloke was involved in over 40% of fc’s tries this season and most importantly he’s a non quota player.
I just don’t know where his best position is, I’d say centre but it’s a lot of cap to throw at a non spine player.
Hudds looking a real dangerous side this season. If you can get the town of Huddersfield behind you, you’ll be at the top for years to come'"
We dont need a project signing. We have roby and Kieran rush. One won young player of the year in the league he played in, the other is selected for Jamaica in the World Cup.
What we need is a top class hooker who can provide some speed around the ruck- unfortunately AOB has a habit of being injured- so him doing long stints for 80 minutes this season is unlikely.
As for Connor- as I’ve already said Ken won’t be doing Pearson any favours on that front for a player we don’t really need.
If he did cone back he wouldn’t be the wonder kid anymore. (Lolohea was only just behind him in the Try assist numbers- although I grant you we scored more than you so the percentage is lower)
Oh and getting the town of Huddersfield behind us will have no bearing whatsoever to what happens on the pitch- as Hull FC have shown- in fact it seems to make you worse!
