Quote: UllFC "So 2 big performances this season then? Thats not enough for me and he symbolises everything that is wrong at the club

Where do you think we'd have finished without him?

There's far bigger problems at the club then your perception of Connor.

Quote: Marcus's Bicycle "He destroyed Leeds and Salford at the start of the season. 2 teams that made the play-offs.

We finished 9th.'"


Five try assists against Wigan in May. 185 metres and 23 carries against Catalans. Two try assists in both games against Huddersfield. We only scored three tries in the last two games against Saints and he got two assists.

Quote: Keiththered "Tony Smith and our new coach Willie Peters both stress that when signing players it is the man’s attitude and personality that needs to be considered before playing ability. Admittedly this doesn’t always prove to by an accurate assessment but yesterday showed that recently we have got it right more often than not. I could not see that FC take such important issues into consideration. May be that is why you have the same issues season after season irrespective of the changes in coaches and players. Jake Connor despite his periodic brilliance is a prime example. Yesterday the going was tough. How did he respond? With petulance, missed tackles, dropped ball and wayward passes. He is a senior player. He should be demonstrating leadership skills not behaving like a frustrated child. Some supporters want him to be captain in 2023. That is really going to drive the club forward.'"


Completely agree, the recruitment at FC has been a mess since Motu Tony left, latest concern is we seem to be signing utility players with no clear plan of who is playing what role.

I also think we have signed players who are just average in all areas like Mcintosh, whereas Radford favoured power over everything else. Its not clear if we are trying to be a fast, strong, off the cuff or structred team we have just averaged out and not sucesseding in any areas.

The club allows him to get by on the bare minimum fitness levels, if you didn't follow RL and you saw him in the street I'd doubt you'd guess he was a rugby player he just looks like an average joe who goes to the gym once a week. In the unlikely event an NRL team took a gamble on him they'd send him on an intense boot camp to get him up to speed.

He's also then allowed to prat about messaging our ex coach before games, mouth off at refs all game. Woulden't happen at a club with better standards and it sets a bad example for the younger players.

I think fitness is an issue for the whole team. Second half capitulations are not just down to attitude.

That is a great summation of the issues in the team

I agree, but I'd expect someone of Connor's talent and salary level to take the initiative, gyms are open outside of club sessions. He has the potential to be the best player in SL but frustratingly is stagnating in his prime.

Prior to this season I'd have said Lane, but honestly, he's been awful this year. Probably our main culprit of 6 agains in the whole team

So basically we are looking for an international class second rower who has a great World Cup but is out of contract, unattached and willing to move to the UK and also a natural leader.

And if we don’t find him then Adam, James Clark & Hodgson all need binning.

[size=200:1381yqo4] OLD FAITHFUL [/size:1381yqo4]:



Many will laugh but given the mess we are in and clear lack of leadership, If possible I’d take LMS for a season. I get his age but just look at the passion he oozes when on the pitch and how he leads from the front.
He’d certainly be an upgrade on Taylor.
