Connor has so far failed to shine at half back. Currently looks a far better centre or full back.

He's utility and would give us that depth and cover.

G Burgess (Marquee) and he's not gone anywhere yet. Hastings (Marquee). Bateman might well be on more than the previous two. French is staying after Wigan fight off NRL interest to keep him Those four alone is big money. Field doesn't even come into it On the other hand Leeds haven't even spent the Merrin money. I think it is entirely reasonsble to suggest they are out spending Leeds in a big way at the moment. But we haven't signed anybody yet. Hope that changes.

Hastings isnt marquee

Why would we need another utility player we already have the likes of Myler and L.Sutcliffe for that. I personally wouldn't want Connor seems too arrogant and a bit of a bad egg smell about him. I'd be happy if we went all out for a big name prop such as Luke Thompson, Tom Burgess or Martin Taupau or even a solid prop who is available like Darcy Lussick and go with what we've got for 2021 our first choice 17 is very strong imo and then next 4-5 players who our fringe players are more than capable to do job imo.

Well, didn't we make a play for him last year?

We need a 6 and its no career slogging it out at Hull week in week out.

Gale and Connor would be a great combination.

No smoke without fire

I think it would work well. Also give us options at centre too

Marquee is t how much they get paid, it’s how much counts against the cap. Hastings will be on a few Bob.

I'm not sure how much of a bad egg he is. Yeah, he gets under opposition players skin and is a wind up merchant. But I've seen a good number of players from opposition teams commenting how he's the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde. Hard to tell unless you really know the bloke

Saints sign another big prop, hope we end up getting one too soon! Would be happy with another Ava though, no one knows who he is and he turns out to be a right workhorse

Didnt see that we even offered him a contract, suppose it means we are looking but once again beaten though, hope we pull something out of our sleeves!
