Really?

Why couldn’t Jake play at Loose Forward? He’s the best ball handler we have.

Or do you think we would better to continue playing some of our Prop Forwards there?

I'm in two minds, if he is dead set on leaving after next season, do we Cash in now, although think that would be the final straw for some fans and have we left it two late to replace him.

Hilarious some of the posts saying let him go.

The kid gives a toss, unlike some Hull born lads, I noticed Connor became a scapegoat not so long back when he argued with some of the golden Hull brigade on the pitch when they weren't pulling their weight or giving a toss.

The kids quality he wants to win, and. Good on him for voicing his opinions when others are making a mockery of wearing the shirt. Isn't that what Gale was brought into do????

If Canberra hadn’t pulled out of the deal then he would have been on his way at the end of the season.
I’ve stated previously that he still wants out and that’s because he wants to win trophies and has said he doesn’t see that happening here.

Like has been said, he at least shows he cares and can’t really blame him for wanting to move on given what’s going on at the club.

It isn't just Hull fans, other fans are obsessed with him, hard to remember an over analysed player, misses ones tackle videos and comments all over social media, other players do the same and hardly a mention. Connors temperament comes from frustration with playing with poor players or poor attitudes.

I wish we had more players who cared as much as he did.

I'd keep him for another year and if he goes whenour of contract to a club with a better chance of winning something he would go with my best wishes.

Connor is our best player. He is irreplaceable.

Ideally he'd be a 6 but I do like him at "Loose Centre". He can defend there quite well, he is an excellent kick target/defender, he is dangerous close to the line, he can create breaks in midfield and he can wander about when we have the ball and cause trouble.

As for Loose Forward, anyone there has to tackle props. That's why we spell our 13s because all that defending is tiring. We can't have our best ball player getting beaten up and spending half the game getting his breath back.

Had to be 6 or maybe 13, has to play in the middle and get his hands on the ball as much as possible.

Defence isn't bad when playing in the line, just two slow when defending at FB.
.
Also allow Hoy to play FB, who I think could be devastating in SL from FB with his pace and running game.

Hoy
Connor
Truman/McNamara

Connor playing 13 is up there for the most ridiculous idea I've ever read on this forum and that's saying something.

Agree. At the start of the season when he won us games almost singlehandedly some on here me included wanted him as a marquee to fend off other clubs.

If I was Connor I'd want out asap because we are going backwards fast added to which it looks like he is the new scapegoat.

He's the most talented player we have had for years and it would be madness to let him go.

Jake Connor is far and away the best player we have and one of the best in SL, without we just have no threat at all so it would be crazy to get rid of him, I just have a feeling he may not be here next year as I'm sure he's as p!s5ed off as the fans in the fact we are going backwards on the field.

As for his attitude I can see both sides of the argument as to whether he's good or bad influence. My take is he is a competitive guy and just wants to win at whatever he is doing and his frustration with team mates gets the better of him at times. I'd rather have Jake Connor and others with the same mindset that have a real desire to win and compete and take it badly if they don't than players who quite frankly just don't seem to be bothered win or lose and don't seem to want to put things right or work hard enough.

Can’t resist but Jc as nice as he is
Is donkey slow.
Wigan Saints are clear benchmarks and have fast players from 1-17.
If we are to challenge top 4 then we need pace 1-17.
His work rate isn’t nowhere near enough for a 13.
He can find a pass ,absolute no question about that .. but it’s not enough

I'm biased and am anti Hull but come on really...
Do I like Jake, No, he's a petulant niggly gob5h1te, he's a player opposition fans love to hate, proves he must be adding something or no one would care.
He's also head and shoulders your best player, his assist stats are ridiculous in a team that hasn't scored a sack full of tries, I'm delighted if he's missing when we play you..
If he had a manager that could reign in his temperament a couple of notches and not rely on him totally for all creativity then he could really go on to hit his full potential. His biggest downfall this year is when the team are struggling he looks like he feels the weight of expectation on him and starts forcing the pass / kick to create the impossible.
As for needing pace 1-17 no you don't, you need pace in the right places, Lockyer never had great pace, he had Slater for that feeding off him.
He has been on Sky talking about wanting to win stuff, does he see Hull being the place to do that? suppose time will tell but you'll be a damn site worse team without him.

Great post

I’ll be interested to see where his new club play him the year after next.

No way will he stay here
