Quote: Dave K. "He really needs to shine in the pre season games, at the moment I'd have him on the bench at best.
Think his form is off totally, (centre and stand off) but I've seen him have some great games at 6, so dont think he is ineffective at all, no halfback would have stood out our last few games, in fact Sneyd was worst than Connor IMO.
Needs to get his head right and battle hard for his place.'"
He has been very poor so far in a GB shirt but in his defence has hardly seen any ball come his way.
Some of his efforts to tackle wont do him any favours.
Although Jake is our player i have to say i really dont think he is International standard and when the current coach goes cant see a future UK coach including him in the team.
He wont like it but it looks like he will be moved around again in the team to cover half back,centre and full back.
Personally i like him at right centre partnering Ratu but will he have enough to keep Fonua or Tuimavave out of the centre positions i dont think so.
