We played Giants just before we signed Jake and he single handedly beat FC at aged 21
Honestly we’ve signed the new Toppo

If Connor and Kelly can work on their in play kicking, there is an argument for Sneyd to be the one who misses out.

One certainty, Conner must play.

Nice problem to have!

Could he play as a third pivot full back?

Obviously that begs the question ‘what about Shaul?’, but perhaps that is a tiny bit less contentious than ‘what about Kelly/Sneyd?’

Super performance by Tag especially last night, looking very nearly back to his best, Jake debut was excellent and top drawer, but let’s not get carried away, the opposition for a Kiwi side wasn’t the best, you can only beat what’s in front of you, which we did well.

If Johnny Lomax has earned a central contract, to presumably project one of our young players being purloined by Union or the NRL, how does the selection process of who is awarded this work, as our Jake must also be in the running for one of these.

I do think that FB could potentially be his best position but he won't get a run there at Hull with Shaul in the team

It's just a stinger for Connor. Big relief.

Tfft

Where have you heard that? Great news if true.

From Radders to a family member.

Sneyd and Kelly WILL be our halfbacks if fit, for the forseeable future. Connor will play centre as and when either of them are available. Pointless thinking otherwise. Same goes for fullback but think Maloudi will be utilised there. It’s absolutely bloody marvelous we’re having a discussion about the plethora of halfbacks after the shoite we’ve had for years and people question Radford’s tenure

His black and white cat.

Ever since the game Snyed went off injured I have wondered what Radders will do with a fully fit squad, I would like to see Connor at loose forward as an extra playmaker then play with 4 forwards off the bench. Then if there is an injury in game Connor could drop into the backs, and revert to a traditional forward at 13.

My strongest team would have Connor at centre and Griffin on the bench

My thoughts are that Carlos and Josh give us size, Snyed gives us structure having both Kelly and Connor stops the opposition trying to do a close marking job on one of them and gives us a lot of creativity, 4 forwards on the bench keep our big guys fresher although admittedly they may have to make more tackles. I also think Grffiin needs to start before his injury he was on fire IMO.

Real strength in depth, effectively we have a SPARE top class SL back, versatility is such that we can cover any one absence without weakening the team.

Add Miloudi, Logan, Harris, Scott and we are well set & balanced.

Reality is one ( at least ) will always be injured. SNEYD will play - his kicking is absolutely fundamental to our gameplan, sadly few in SL never mind us can match him in this department.

I know it's absolute blasphemy with Hull fans, but going on this season's form and assuming a fully available squad, it's Shaul who misses out for Connor IMO.

So we've had Connor replacing Sneyd, Kelly, Griffin and now Shaul.

Any more offers?

(Forgot about no 13.)

I'd give him a go at hooker. He's got all the attributes to play there..Rotate him with Houghton. I think it'd work

Let’s hope his shoulder is ok ?

No offence but this is the worst idea yet, Connor and Houghton are both far too good too only play 40 minutes each.

Connor to play centre and a fight between Griffin and Carlos for the other spot and the bench, think both are strong enough to play in the backrow.

Shauls place could also be under threat like any other player

i only hope we don't go too far the other way - in that radford might not know who his best team is. our 2016/17 success was largely based around a very settled 1 to 17

Radford rarely if ever gives Houghton a breather, 2016 and come that crucial Warrington game you could tell he was already shot after 15 minutes, just didn't have it in him to get anywhere near the man for their 1st try, he wanted to but the body was like nope.7

Houghton is more effective overall when he gets a rest, not just in one game but over a season, flogging him week in, week out doesn't get the best out of him, do we miss him when he's off, of course but you have to balance everything not just those minutes without a top player. And by not allowing our other hooker to play/develop as Houghton did alongside Berrigan we stifle that development just as Radford did to Cunningham who was called up for England Knights this year.

Don't think the Connor at LF is a bad shout but Radford doesn't play that way and prefers effectively another prop sized player there.

connor at loose man

Well I'm going to leave it to Radders to sort out because, despite what a certain person on here says, he obviously does know what he is doing. And long may it continue.
