The main thing is Jake continues to get plenty of game time. The fact he is getting it in more than one position goes to show he has several skills already developed to super league standard. If he continues to develop then we have a future international on our hands.

Connor played the 1st few games when Grix was injured. As soon as Grix was fit, Connor got dropped.

He then came in when Ferres was injured, soon as Ferres was fit. He got dropped!

What are the chances of him keeping his place when cudjoe returns.

We basically use him as cover for injuries. This is despite the fact that he is already a better full back than Scott Grix. Give him a run there and he will only get better. Yes he'll make mistakes but could be our full back for a very long time.

We lost all 3 games connor played at fullback. I don't think he is a better fullback- he has the potential to be- but he isn't yet.

Ok Jools. I disagree with you on that, but that's my opinion.

Going on your opinion, how will he reach that potential if he is playing at centre or not at all.

The point I'm making is to give the lad a chance. A good run of games. Not one or two here and there.

We don't become weaker by losing Grix. That is one position along with 7 and 9 where we can afford to try somebody new.

You have no idea what position the club see connor in, it's looking like centre which makes sense as Wardle is looking good at second row and could take hughes' spot. You have no idea who may be lined up for next season at fullback- if it is connor you have no idea what work he may be doing in that position behind the scenes.
I trust in the club- they've not got it wrong regarding youngsters that I can see- can you say different?

You're right Jools.

I have as much of an idea about these things as you have.

However I have eyes and can see Connor deserves to be playing week in and week out. The same cannot be said for Grix when we have other options in my opinion.

I will agree that wardles future lies in the 2nd row. Let's see where he plays Sunday.

Er, a certain player's lack of tackling let Cas score 2 tries last week. And Grix gets slated!

He wasn't the only one.

And the same certain player made a certain try saving tackle, so let's not be picky.

As I said, he needs to learn, and will make mistakes along the way.

I thought you weren't allowed to count the try saving tackles- they haven't ever counted before.....

People get picky as far as Grix is concerned.

Grix is a weak link IMO. I don't think he'd get a starting spot in any of the other top 6 sides.

Refusing to run the ball back with any heart or aggression every single game is not being picky.

we lose massive metres every game as he waits for his wingers to come for the pass or if there's nobody he runs sideways looking for the soft tackle.

Cannot disagree, but he is here for the next 2 years so more of the same I guess. Robinson is another who is a big disappointment, best days gone???

This.

think this goes back to nathan brown days , brett hodgson did the same but boy could be setup tries.

personally i like to see the hard running full backs like hardaker and reilly.

grix is too small and sometimes can lose the ball on contact or gets dragged backwards
