| Quote: jimmyfivebellies "Leadership group
Eh? I’m trying to have a rational debate..It’s childish for posters to suggest Connor criticism is anything to do with Shaul.
It’s nonsense to suggest that Connor isn’t part of the leadership group . The spine of the team is the leadership as that where the team calls and plays are from.
We all want fc to succeed but for the past 4 seasons we have had continual blow out scores.
If posters read again what I’m saying is that the core leaders ( which clearly Connor is one of them ) is letting us down
It’s Not Just Connor!!!

Rubbish!
They can’t just go out and sign anyone they want?

You have no idea if that's true or not, otherwise these two clubs would just sign all the best players in SL, which isn't going to happen for many reason including the salary cap.

That's not what leadership group means.

I'd quit right now if I were you. If you're going to have a rational argument then you need some facts to back your argument up. Jake is NOT a member of the leadership group, he's just a very talented player who never does anything but his best for the team. Please tell us how you're going to replace the 20 try assists that he'd already made before his injury. Who else shows the same enthusiasm and will to win, that's right, with the exception of the islanders there's nobody.

| Quote: Chris71 "This all day long. Jake Connor even with his sometimes questionable temperament is a player any team would want in their ranks as he can be totally unplayable as he has shown.
The issue is not Jake Connor the issue as Dave K has alluded to is the club haven't really given him anyone to support him in terms of sharing the load of creating opportunities other than the Sneyd kicks. Connor is the type of player you build a team around not expect him to do everything which by and large is where I believe a lot of his frustration comes from.
If we manage to get a FB with real pace that has the ability to link up and support play then Connor would be a devastating threat if given a free roaming role.'"
I think the club have realised what a full back with real pace can offer in todays game and i fully expect if that happens then Jake will play at 6.
It will be interesting to see how Walker plays over the next months as when he burst onto the scene he was hailed as a future star at Leeds but his injuries like many other players set him back and now as we know he is now their third choice full back.
Dont expect to see a speedster like Bevan French and his ball handling is on a par with Jamie Shaul but if he can get some confidence behind him then he can do a job but would not like to see him signed permanently

I get you maybe dont like the sledging(which happens in every sport and by most players) but he is the only player in our team with a genuine Rugby brain. He sometimes tries one trick too many but id imagine his errors would be far less with better players around him.
I often think Connor looks like he is upset or talking alot because he has lot more passion then most in our squad. Some of our players dont look d if we lose.
I mean international selection is nothing to gage a player on these days, Dan Sarginson got picked for godsake.

Look at this
How ridiculous some fans thought of Connor
And he didn't get near a England cap at world cup

Connors so bad that he was signed by a team who finished above us and are one of the favorites to win the GF.
He has given the no1 shirt and expected to start there once he has recovered.
My opinion of Connors ability hasn't changed, we just needed a controlling 7, so he had to be moved on, plus the fact we would have had Trueman and Connor out for the first few games this season.
Really tough decision, but think it was the right one.
He has also proved that he is good enough for international rugby, just the current coach who overall failed by not gettign us in the final doesn't like Connor.
Reading your posts this morning, looks like you have been drinking.

Nope just proving alot of what I say is true Connor was very replaceable and smith agreed
Houghton not good enough we needed a better 9.....guess what smith has done that aswell
Actually hilarious reading some of the nonsense back now from likes of "come on you hull"

It’s Valentines Day, no one loves him enough to send a card so he’s showing how much he loves himself.

Just about every player is replacable, not sure anyone said otherwise. Connor is an excellent SL player and was a great player for us, without him, we would have been in big trouble.
Houghton has been a great player and much more than a tackle machine, still has a part to play this season, but he shouldn't guarantee a start and not play 80 minutes anymore.
Not really sure what you point is, nothing you have said has been proven, unless you can see into the future?
