If Radford wants Sneyd and Kelly in the halves then I would have Connor and Griffin as the centres.

Interesting to see what Bennett will do with Connor in the England squad later this year. Possible halfbacks include Connor, Widdop, Lomax, Gale, Williams and maybe Richardson.

Usual nonsense not based on any fact, Houghton like Roby is an 80 minute player, you have named 1 game in the last 5 years were Houghton looks tired, it was the last game of a long season where Houghton played just about every minute, I honestly can't remember a game when I though Houghton needs to come off.

I liked Cunningham, but like Hodgson it was bad timing and we have certainly survived without him.

There will be a point soon when DH needs a rest and when that happens Litten will get more gametime, as I've said before Radford Lowe more than you about when Litten is ready.

Look to me another chance to have a dig at Radford

I would have Carlos and Connor as the centres and Griffin in the back row.

Widdop at 1
Connor at 6
Richardson at 7

Would be a good spine for England

In place of who?

I am not suggesting Carlos has done anything wrong, but a fully fit Griffin (was outstanding before his injury) and Conner in the centres would be my go to should Sneyd and Kelly both be fit.

Coaches say its a good head ache to have. It is if you are good at man management.

I’d drop Taylor to the bench, to spell Houghton and play Connor at prop then he can play in any position in the team if they get injured. Just my opinion of course

AND if Radford or Pearson don’t take any notice of me, I’d get shot of em straight away

would you start a petition to get public opinion on your side before loading the gun?

I'd drop Taylor full stop.

Who'd have thought during the Agar years that we would find ourselves in a position where we have more talented creative players than we know what to do with?

I think for me, the answer is Griffin in the second row next year. I feel it plays to his strengths and allows us to get maximum minutes out of everyone else. Connor is too good to be sat on the bench even if just for 30 minutes. I would also try to find a spot on the bench for Miloudi. Clearly he can change a game and can cover 1-7. We might end up with a scenario where Connor is Englands 6 but plays centre for us, but that's ok. It's not unheard of in the world of international RL.

Other signings notwithstanding:

Shaul
Faraimo
Connor
Tuimavave
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Green
Griffin
Minichiello
Westerman

Paea
Matongo
Miloudi
Hadley

Bags of talent and strike all over that 17, and its possible we will make another signing or two yet.

No Bowden? Also guessing you’ve left Manu out of that 17 only because he’s OOC?
I also think Bienek could see himself coming off the bench a fair bit next season.

Jake has signed an extended contract to 2021. Great news and great work by FC to get his name on the dotted line.

That appearance and indeed performance against NZ will certainly have added a few quid in his pocket, glad we've got him nailed down for the next three years.
How long did we sign Kelly for? Just thinking that further down the line is Connor a consideration for the 6 position?

"Cast-off" or inspired recruitment by Radford?

He was a cast-off, Hudds didn't want to offer him anything/anywhere near enough to keep him. As a winger/centre I thought we already had plenty of young Hull players to come through, Connor has been fantastic and a very good signing by Radford in the end, he's one of the Radford signings to do really well, however regurgitating the same old trope as you do, it just shows what a pathetic person you are.
You should be more concerned about giving up on Radford and the team week in week out just as you did again tonight

That's not a cast off, they wanted him to stay as they offered him a deal, that isn't the definition of a cast off.

Well done on admitting you were wrong and praising Radford though.

If he was a "cast off with no pedigree" as you described him, why did Huddersfield try so had to keep him? A couple of years later Radford's judgement has proved far more robust than yours. Again. To the extent Connor is an international. Please refrain from personal abuse. It's reportable.

Connor's retention is absolutely briliant news. He can be anything he wants to be, a prodigious talent. Great work by the club.

But where do we play him, and if it's the halves, who misses out? Do we offer Kelly to NRL clubs

Just a reminder that you are on a final warning for abusing other users.

Completely outshone his half back partner tonight. Quality player

He's becoming a real star in Super League, great to have him secured with a contract extension.

Where did Connor play tonight ?

Started at centre, then moved to stand off in the second half

A good job he got his hands on the ball taking that up and under and setting Carloz on his way, we got out of jail tonight well played Widnes could have gone either way.

Are we near catching Wire and Cas ?
