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.

Nailed on then!

If he is coming it’s going to be very interesting to see the squad numbers for next season.

Maybe we should secure our super league future before signing players for next season.

No thanks! Sat here on my hols reading 'legacy' the book Powell was banging on about in his first videoed meeting with the team that he wanted them all to read. with the intention that they would adopt the attitude and culture described in the book. Jake Connor to me seems to a total at odds player to that culture. There is even a section called 'no d1ckheads"

Wasn't Powelly going to read through the book with the players?

…..say we ARE stayin up!

We are

Haha - I was the one in the pub WW who said I would like to sign Connor.
I just think he has the guile to get us over the line from 10 out that we have lacked for years.

With the senior players iirc. The book is about creating a management team with the senior players so that the younger players are less likely to not disapoint their peers but it means that the senior players must be humble and set the example in every area. This sounds like the crux of the problem, senior players wanting to get off early etc..Powell just not accepting it.

Connor needs to move to a professional club where he will be expected to be disciplined and compete every week if he wants to fulfil his potential.

Maybe that's the direction Wire are headed and Powell can get the best out of him. I've always thought that it would be good to see him move somewhere like Wigan/Saints to see what he would be like in that sort of environment.

The ideal IMO would be Hull sign a strong coach and he develops there as it would be great to be ble to add Wire/Leeds/Hull to Saints/Wigan/Catalans and have a genuinely strong top6 which we don't have just now.

The Dolphins are at the head of the queue for Connor now Kalyn Ponga's turned them down. Wayne Bennet's a big fan.

this rumour was created on that barmy army facebook group with the same poster then announcing were bringing Danny Lima out of retirement... in the words of big Donny Trump...

"This is fake, news. ok? Fake News"

No. It’s NAILED on. Ruddy Duckie told me.
