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 .

It's easy to see that we will sign Connor and pay £500k for the privilege. He is an unsavory character but he has a built in will to win, something the current bunch appear not to have. The 2023 plot thickens.

Apparently a really good guy off the pitch and well liked In the dressing room. Alot of his attitude on the pitch is that he wants to win and can get frustrated, been pretty good this year. He has more of less on his own got us to 5th place. Think he is still top of the try assists despite missing a few games. Big concerns are his injuries, seems to pick one up every year and lack of pace for a FB, I'd play him at 6 personally.

I would be really disappointed if we sold him, but he is OOC end of next season and if we got a big offer I wonder if we would sell.

Still surprises me that ppl allow him to wind them up.

Have you heard his voice? It's like getting trash talked by orville the duck

That would be very good business for Hull FC, considering that they managed to pinch Connor from Huddersfield on a Freebie..

It would, we like helping other clubs financially, like Castleford. However, I don't think Hull are in financial trouble of any sort, but an injection of cash 9no doubt we would offer a large number) would be very nice.

Keep our kid out of it, he’s an orphan ya know!?

I wasn’t making a judgement call on his ability just stating my opinion of him. Felt the same about Ryan Bailey but went further and said we shouldn’t sign him.

A big no from me! It's funny though how we as individuals see players and their strengths and weaknesses. After the Salford debacle last Sunday we were dissecting it in the pub when one of our group stated we need a Jake Connor. I said he was the most overrated player in SL IMO but others though he was just what we need. Go figure!

I’ve not heard anything about Jake Connor coming to Wire other than what I’ve ready in here and FB.
However, he’s got an x-factor, when he plays well, FC win.
I’d have him in a heartbeat, the best backs have a menace.

Reassuring, if you haven't heard - it's not happening.
