Wouldn't blame jake if he wanted to leave but I'd get an experienced coach in and build a team around jake . We haven't got anyone remotely as good as jake in the club or coming in so losing jake and we would still be 9/10th in the league even with a change of coach

I don't think we have anyone at the club who could do the job .

Cash in on jake brilliant

Let's just go all out for relegation

I thought FC was supposed to be a big club. Which so called big club would he go to? I cannot see him being a regular at Saints, Wigan, Leeds, or Cats in the full back role or a halfback. Not even Hudds. He has periods of acknowledged brilliance but almost invariably when things are going well for the team. When the going gets tough he tends to go missing. After his petulant, error ridden performance today I cannot see him being hunted by any club that will be challenging for honours in the immediate future.

Without him we probably would have been this season.

Madness to even think about losing him.

Exactly. We could do with a new coach but not one of the experts on here who thinks we should willingly release our best player who has assisted about 40% of our tries this season.

You're right.

Get rid of our best player and the problems will be solved. We are fortunate to have him.

Even with Jake Connor next season sadly I think if Hodgson & Purtill are still the head & assistant Coaches respectively along with the likes of Taylor, Houghton, Griffin still in the side and without any quality adding in the 2nd row we will likely be fighting to avoid relegation. That for me is a reality of the situation the club are very much facing.
All the talk that next season with the arrival of Hoy, Trueman (who’ll miss a fair chunk at the start of the season) Dwyer and Sutcliffe is pure folly. There hasn’t been a shred of evidence that Hodgson can turn it around in fact it’s the total opposite.

If we’re relying on players, and not coaching, to save us from a relegation battle next season, we’re in trouble.

Trueman and Hoy are only young, Sutcliffe is a good solid pro, and Dwyer comes on to speed up the ruck.

None of them are going to take a team by the scruff of the neck and lead it to the play offs. None of them are organisers.

Make no mistake, if nothing changes off the field, we are in trouble next year. Let’s just hope Wakey don’t get their recruitment right.

Wait.... we can do that??

How many of these assists came in games that mattered? How many against the top6? Stat padding against Toulouse isnt enough, his attitude is shocking and we cant afford a full back just strolling around sulking.
