The thing he fails to realise, is that Connor wants it to be all about him - he won't be happy being a bit part player with Huddersfield, and sharing the creativity in attack. I've said it elsewhere, but for me, it is better having 3 players with 10 assists, than having 1 with 30

But now he’s gone suddenly he’s not all that.
Connor will be a bit part in the giants team, not the only thing going like he was at Hull. That will take the pressure off him, reduce his frustrations, I think that will enable him to be even better.
Hopefully with TS coming in he will get FC playing a better brand of rugby than the dire stuff you were used to under radford and hodgson. He’s known for allowing his teams to play what’s in front of them and not boring one up stuff. Hopefully give the fans some entertainment.'"


Just don't know what your fascination in Hull FC is since Connor left? Your initial post wasn't just simply quoting what Watson had said either as you claim bearing in mind the first and last part of your post.
As for your latest post its again utter tripe, very few if any have not said Connor isn't all that, in fact quite the opposite. What has been said is although he has undeniable talent he has issues that do detract. Again very few will argue that we would have been in a very different position without last season but also we are more likely to be in a better position this coming season due to the recruitment of a better, quicker and fitter spine that offers creativity/options across the spine rather than just a single player, plus the arrival of TS as Head Coach will improve that.
Your last comment about boring one up stuff is rich coming from someone supporting Huddersfield who are renowned for playing a spoiling game and even with the arrival of Watson and the good signings, for me you still play predominantly a conservative style of rugby that's not particularly entertaining, which probably cost you the CC if I'm honest.

For me its disappointing Connors gone as he is a talented player but as most have said its not the end of the world he's gone and it's probably the best for both our club and Connor himself, as its not just about talent in a team game its also very much about attitude and application.

Funny that even under our dire brand we still won more then Huddersfields harlem globe trotter stuff of the last ten years.

Exactly this for all he sits at the top of the try assists chart it doesnt show his ambitous grubber kicks on tackle 2 or 3, his interceptions or passes thrown straight in touch.

Connors achilles heel is that he always trys to score every play and the more ops hes had the slower he becomes and the worse his defence has got.

Still a great player but i didnt cry when he left.

Looked that way in the CC final, when you spent all the time of the Wigan line in the last 20 minutes trying not to score, got what you deserved in the end.

Massive pressure on Watson now got to win something soon or will go down as a massive failure, must be the most backed coach in SL.

Br interesting to see how Connor goes, improved highly at Hull, gaining international honours and winning a trophy, will he replicate that at Hudds

Be prepared for massive focus on him, every single mistake he does will be scrutinised more than any other SL, I'll miss Connor but not the media attention on him.
