I think we are all aware now he isn't the quickest fullback. But boy he more than makes up for that. What a talent.

So let’s be very very smart and play him at 6 - then use Reynolds cash to get an explosive paced FB who is amazing at defence and feeding off Jake

how can the above not work ???

Because he won't get in those 3 on 3 situations which he is incredible at if we play him at 6.

If Connor had pace he'd be lighting up the NRL right now. We get to enjoy watching him play because he isn't the complete player, not in spite of.

On paper he'd make a great 6. But we've seen him play at 6 and it wasn't great. I'd rather have him as a centre than a 6 because he is devastating from there. But he wants to be a fullback and at 1 he is our greatest attacking threat since ... in a long time.

So we have who we have and now need to build a team that complents who Jake is and not who we wish he was. He is a once in a generation talent and with one or two key signings we could have a real shot at the title in the next few years.

are you saying a 6 can’t get into 3 on 3 ?
the 6 can have his FB on the inside as a decoy whilst using his centre and winger on the outside
or the FB isn’t a decoy at all

double threat but you need a FB that is fast enough to be the decoy

What I'm saying is when we get that 60/40 split of the field it's the fullback who gets into that situation. If you were to play him at 6 and have the fullback floating in and around that area you would have a 'middle' playing the role of 1st or 2nd receiver which would decrease the time that Connor would have.

If I'm being truthful as long as he does it for us I'm happy, Wane will pick the usual players and England won't win again.

Connor wanted to be a six
Its Hodgson who wants him at full back
Like you i always liked him at centre.He also was always a threat collecting or knocking back high kicks to his wing but we have moved away from only having this tactic since Sneyd went.
Think Hodgson may have to look at moving Connor next season into the halves to partner Trueman and if we sign a Field/French type full back who is able to back up line breaks we wont be far away from being a very good hard to beat team.

You sure about that?

My understanding is that it was Connor’s wish to play full back and Hodgson obliged.

Now it would be a dream to have a full back with the pace of French and move Jake back to the halves.

OK let’s settle this - Wayne Bennett picked him at 6 for England

no more to be said please

Yes its well known and reported that Connor wanted to be the clubs six

My memory



Would have sworn it was the other way round but I have found a hull live report where he says he wants to be a 6.
