I can only assume Connor is held on the bench so he can come on at to the full back/wing/centre or in the halves. Should there be an injury or anybody just not performing.
But Makinson can also cover in the backs so it seems weird to have them both in the bench.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if either of them never get on the pitch.

No back row cover on the bench so he'll mess about moving Bateman to back row and bring on one of Connor or maintain to cover. I wouldn't be surprised if he brought Connor on to give Hodgkin a break at hooker

As I posted last Tuesday. Bennett is predictable!( well sometimes)

Jakey boy going great so far. Massively changed this game. Hope he keeps it up.
Also think Taylor has shown up well with strong carries and been heavily involved in the tackle to prevent them scoring (when it went to video ref).

Both doing really well. Taylor our best prop

Great for Jake bad for us.

Taylor played well alsog

nrl reporter on twitter already fawning over jake! can see him in the nrl sooner than later

Jake Connor with a shoulder injury. Looks bad for him and worse for us

yea didn't look good, hopefully a stinger injury

Hopefully nothing serious

Great to see him ripping it up for England, he was that X factor we needed to unlock the kiwi defence. Strange thinking back to two years ago when he signed, he was hailed as a cast off with no pedigree. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=596448&start=30
