What’s up with Connor?

Maybe the wellbeing of the player if he wasn't fit to play.

It's a distinct possibility but son of Denton appears to know better.

bbc weather now saying dry all day Saturday.they haven't a clue.

Or perhaps they are simply adjusting the forecast based on new data?

probably and they also haven't a clue

My bbc forecast at 11:00 was dry all day, at 13:00 it changed to rain for the next 3 hours. If they don't know what's happening in 2 hours time, then I suspect their forecast for 2 weeks time is useless.

if Kelly and connor where to be missing sat, who would play stand off? put tuime there and buchanan to centre or just put washy in? can harris play there?

Harris (and Bienek) haven't played a game this season, I reckon that's because we're close to the cap limit and simply can't play them.

I think you are probably right on that. If Connor and Kelly are not available I would go with Carlos but wouldn't be surprised to see Westerman or Washy.

I've always rated Lui and thought Salford would struggle when he left, but Lolohea has a point to prove, and it will certainly be more difficult if Kelly and Connor are missing. (Although I still don't think Connor is a standoff.)
