Rumour gathering pace….

Heard it from a Salford fan, a swap for Widdop!

When I say swap I'm not sure of respective OOC situations or whether it could be classed in the same manner as King/Wardle

Anything is possible at the moment. Nothing would surprise me

To play where?

Wardle and Wrench at centre
Thewlis at full back
Ratchford and Williams at half back.

Does Powell have Alzheimer’s? How many utility backs do we need?

Also I doubt Hull will take Widdop as a direct swap for Connor who is very popular with their fans.

Personally I’m not a Connor fan. He is brilliant one game and rank awful the next. And a gobby little bugger.

We’re paying a big fee apparently (shock horror) so who knows. Anything goes at Wire at the minute!

Good apple

Bit of a nobhead apple for me….but great player.

Personally wouldn’t touch him with a bargepole but it is the kind of idiotic signing we’d make. He’s very inconsistent.

nah!
looks like a made-up facebook story to me. Can't see it.

You forget Mata’utia in there but also I don’t think Wardle is a given. Anyway I would be annoyed if bringing in Connor in pushes Wrench or Thewlis down the order.

One thing you can't label at our players. Holmes, currie etc are VERY consistent.

It's more like unplayable one week, barely noticeable (except for the verbals) for the next three or four weeks.

This would suggest no dufty, and probably save some money.

Mcguire and connor in the same team?

We do need match winners. He's one of them.

Thewlis
?????
Wrench
Wardle
Ashton
O'Connor
Williams

Works for me. GIven the choices available Matautia and Ratch woukd be surplus but I'm now veering into fantasy rugby territory.

Smacks of inconsistency if we sign a talented idiot with the hope of getting the best out of him, in the midst of culling talented idiots who we cannot get the best out of.

If your policy is no bad eggs, don’t sign them.

Still, Facebook rumours are often make believe

So i assume Dufty isn't coming then if this shower of poop is true. I hope not as apart from 1 great game in every 10 he's overrated and a gobby douche bag. Also i thought Widdop was off to Castleford, if not it'll be Jake Truman and Widdop in their halves.

Connor is excellent, hard to play well every game us our side, particularly playing with the likes of Gale and Reynolds, would be quality in Saints or Wigans side.

I'd be amazed if we sold him, unless in was a massive offer.

I think I've got it worked out:

We sign as many highly rated but inconsistent players as possible, then play them only on the one in ten occasions they have a great game. Wiliams one week, Widdop the next, Connor, Dufty, and so on. In fact we just play a new team every week, as long as it's their 'good' week, and rotate the squad of 150 players.

Of course, we'll need to bring in that salary cap administrator from Wigan. Because 'mistakes' happen.

Not sure I get this. Sign up Dean and Thewlis, presumably as long term 6 and 1 then sign someone else who can play 6 and 1 after extending Ratch who also plays 6 and 1.

Can’t see it as Pearson would get ripped to shreds by their fans if he was sold and they do seem to lose a lot when he’s out but great player on his day.

He's a very talented player, he comes with a bit of baggage but he would still be a great signing IMO. He would definitely get some stupid bans and let the team down from time to time though.

I can't see this being true but wouldn't be that dissapoined to be wrong.

An individual I have never met and yet seriously dislike

Not always a good barometer though. I seriously dislike Sam Tomkins, without having met him, and Andrew Farrell, and Sean Long… yet they would all look like a man among boys in our squad. Difference is, those players above win. They are disliked because they find a way to win, consistently. Conner has found a way to get on Sky and generate a nice highlight reel and pub people up the wrong way. Not a lot of winning, or even a threat to drag a team by the scruff of the next to a win.

I'm afraid I feel the same. He's completely full of .
