| Connor available on loan from Hudds, I'd take him and play him at fullback and look to give him a year next year if walker is going, will give us more attacking options and allow the quota spot to be used elsewhere

Not for me, poor positionally, slow as balls and has a tendancy to throw a strop when things are going wrong (which they will a lot this season). He could be absolutely magic but doesn't seem to have the mentality to match his ability.

| Not sure, would he come back, the only position I'd consider he for would be centre, think he is too slow with Trueman and Abdul, not sure I could take a certain posters moaning.
Who knows will Hull at the moment.

| He'd offer us an extra pivot in attack and provide cover in the halves when one of Abdul/Trueman are out for a long period, which, based on the last couple of seasons is highly likely...and when he's playing in the halves, it gives Moy some game time to develop too. Cartwright could be the no nonsense coach that Connor needs

| Loved Connor when he was here but I wouldn't want him back now. Looked poor at Huddersfield whenever I've seen them.
If he did come back the only position I'd want to see him would be centre.

| Wasted in the centre I think as he doesn't get his hands on the ball enough when playing there

True, but every time he gets his hands on the ball at centre he scores or sets someone up. He is also a really good kick target and his defensive frailties are less apparent.

| Plays centre for me if we go for him. Don't think he's been happy at huddersfield at all, his effort in the team song after their last win was very revealing

| He is a talent at centre and agree he has played some of his best rugby for us / England there, but I think he's a player that needs his hand on the ball a lot in games. Would give us more unpredictability on last tackle plays rather than Abdul putting a high bomb up and Trueman running it

| Hope we try and get Chan permanently. Release Pele, gives us two quota spots for a centre and fullback if Walker goes or another backrower would be nice, a Willie Manu type player.

Been told that won’t happen as Wigan rate him but we have been sniffing rd another 2nd rower at Wigan who is currently injured.

As tough as it as to find them, I think Hull are in need of some safer bets with their recruitment. Willie Isa would be yet another risky option after three serious injuries in three years. Great attitude and would be great for setting standards but I wouldn't count on him to play many games at this stage. Mike Cooper would probably fall into the same category - great in theory but how much would you get out of him.
Often during pre season or in the middle of the prior season in Hull's case (as 2024 is a lost cause), fans put their lineups together and they can look quite good on paper. But it's a pointless exercise if the side is so injury prone you rarely get to see them playing together.
