1st look on here since the game, no way should we have lost that game. Game management at the end was very poor, Sneyd would have directed the team to get him in front of the posts for a DG, Connor and Gale couldn't do that. Those two loose passes from Connor in the last 10 were very poor. All game I thought Connor was trying too hard. Hopefully he'll learn from it. I'm convinced if we had made that tackle on Jai Field we would have won.

Focussing on positives, Lovodua was superb. Brown, Fash and Johnstone put in great stints, Mau gets better every week and Sao and Satae performed well. We've the makings of a decent top four side, onto the Cup and a few beers in Magic Rock brewery.

Connor isnt the best FB in the league like you'll said I said, which i never had and he has flaws, but the positives far outweigh the negatives and unless we sign a better FB than Shaul or Wynne, who neither have the skill set to be a modern FB he has to stay there particularly with the options we have at halfback.

What I find funny is that you haven't posted on here for the last few games and as soon as Connor does something wrong you are on here in shot, that's easy to do, but you didn't post after Leeds and other games.

See Houghton is being back to being flogged, when you have another hooker on the bench (although not a very good one) use him at hooker.

Brett Hodgson

Pretty sure he served a ban for an ugly term he used a while ago.
Everyone can see that most of our creativity has come from Connor due to players missing. Gale back is a massive plus and Reynolds due back next week is even better. I’d play Lovodua at loose man, drop Lane to the bench instead of Johnstone. That’s a very good spine. Bring Lane on to spell Houghton moving Lovodua to hooker. Is Evans fit?

Chris Hill who is 34, did 24 hit ups last night.

Satae and Sao didn't do that between th, in fact it's not even close.

They should each be doing 15 minimum, I dont understand this obsession we have with the amount of work ours backs do.

Who is going to get more meters Satae or Mcintosh?

There doss seem to be an inconsistency with the workload distribution.

Against Leeds the pack really stepped up and it showed, was it the short turnaround why we seemed to use the backs more against Wigan?

At the end of the day I thought we were the better team, it was poor end game management from a new creative partnership in Gale and Connor that probably meant we didn't take the 2 points. I'm very sure that partnership will learn from this one and improve.

The on the pitch signs are positive, very aggressive kick chase and following defence. Strong performance with Taylor and Evans to return, we have the fringe players all playing well, let's be positive eh. Its a tight league and we're well amongst it.

We've had quite a few players who've had really strong starts to the season like Swift, Lovodua, Fash - exceeding expectations. But we've also got a lot of £ tied up in the stands - Reynolds, Gale, Tuimavave, Taylor, Evans - 5 who've barely played but on big wages. Taylor apart we need to be getting these back soon and delivering

I wouldn't worry. Notice how he appears on the boards of teams who've played Wigan to spout his garbage. I hadn't realised you'd played Saints this week. Obsessed much? I'll let you decide

Great game on Thursday. Could have gone either way.

Leeds seemed like a great result at the time but they've proved how mediocre they are and are a bottom 4 club these days so again he performed against a struggling side

He go's missing against the top dogs

You can't honestly be proud off his tackling attempt on field?

Apart from passing catching and kicking what are Connors fullback skills?

Hes no pace
Can't tackle
No support play
Not great at retuning the ball with any real threat like shaul is

Funny all them are Shauls main assets though

Can't argue with the effort , Just one missed tackle , one piece of Jai Field magic ,without these we could of had the 2 points . We have set a good bench mark with that performance , hope it continues and not just fade away into a another mediocre season .

Shaul hasn't had any assets since 2017.

Connor is a better running, particularly close to the line.

Decent support play too, too of my head supporting a break against Sheffield last week and Warrington at home last season.

When was the last time Shaul did that?

You are also not mentioning that Shaul us injury probe now, his time at Hull is finished.

Pace is Connors main problem, but his other skills more than make up for it.

Connor v Shaul, who should play, decision has been made by one of the greats in this position, pretty much game over.

The fact we haven't beaten the top dogs in SL for 2/3 years means the team doesn't step up, not just Connor.

We need some East Riding referees Dave.
