join us in the happy clappers club its great

stop repeating others you bell, you saying it doesn't make it any more valid than dave k saying it

I wouldn't want to be in any cuddle crew and I enjoy reading everyone's posts that's why I come on here lol

I would love to see all our young kids kept on I know some of them personally and there family's but the truth is a lot of young kids can get better money just taking an apprenticeship in the outside world its a real gamble for them because if they get released at 20 years of age they have probably gone past an age where an employer will take them due to government funding for apprentices ( funding stops at 18/19) so there stuck in no mans land Its a real problem.
At bishop they try and prepare them for a job in coaching PE type role, but its not for all kids and there's only so many jobs like that out there, for us to be able to find the next line of rugby stars we need a long production line of quite low paid kids coming along to give us the best chance of bringing some through its not easy for them, super league is physical hence the 23s comp to try and bridge the gap, that will get stronger with 2 other clubs set to join next year, hopefully having the amount of youngsters we have signed on we will see quite a few make the first team in the next few years but some will fall by the way side and do other things or get released its just the way it goes

You are funny tinkerman

Had to be helped off the filed today injured concussion or leg injury he was unsteady on his feet

Turning out OK so far. Covered the halves very well and centres also. Seems to be fulfilling the promise Radford saw in him and demanding the ball. Nice one.

Good read that, no suprised that I and others were right about Connor being a good signing and a certain poster was wrong.

Also when are we paying the fee for Connor, that a certain Hudds fan told us we would have too?

Yes. Been another excellent Radford acquisition. A real talent.

Agreed. To get the best out of him he needs to have that right centre spot as his own next year. Connor being on the pitch consistently is as much of an X Factor aspect to our squad as Kelly is.

Indeed. I really hope we keep him beyond next season.

Depending on what happens with Kelly, Connor may have a season at centre and then move to 6 with Sneyd at 7 for 2019.

Sounds like a plan. I do like him at centre though.

I'm disappointed about losing last but then I think of the positives for next season and Connor is definitely one of them! I think he will keep getting better and that is a scary thought

He'd be such a good fullback
Wish we could meld him and Shaul into 1 player. Shaul lack of ball play really hurt us last night

Totally agree. Great hands and some playmaking ability.

At least we have sound cover for 1 and 6

Although, having said that I'd like to see him first choice centre from now on! Still not decided what I make of Griffin at centre

I think connor should definitely be first choice centre, very impressed with his attitude and performances, I do like griffin but have been a bit underwhelmed with him to be honest

Griffin as a centre is one dimensional, just a battering ram, you’d be waiting for a group of monkeys to write the works of Shakespeare before you would see the skill Connor showed for Manu’s try

Connor looks like a world class the last 2 games, think its a no brainer to be honest

Got to give Connor a starting spot at centre or he will be getting offers from elsewhere. Too good to be a squad player.

I thought his role was just as an assistant and part-time for international duties, surely that means he'll still be with the club?

That's my understanding too...

I think he meant losing last night and missed the word out as opposed to losing Andy Last

If i had posted that there would have been an outcry from all the cuddle boys

Didn't you want us to keep HTW instead of signing Connor?
