FC fan in peace. Rumours going that we've swapped Connor for Wardle

You could see this happening tbh. Makes sense for each club. We'll find out in the next few weeks

Would leave us short a half though. We'd have a chunk of cap tied up at centre. We'd have Wardle, Tuimavave, Sutcliffe, Wynne, Scott and Griffin if no one moves on.

Can't really get my head round the deal

If the new coach wants Connor out it does. Huddersfield need a bit of spark in the halves - pack is fine, but Fages needs a partner. I hope its all rubbish though and Wardle is heading to Wigan

To put it quite simply. No one needs Connor.

He's massively over hyped imo. For every so called "great plays", there's a series of other things that just let him down. Ask yourself, in a GF or CC final with 10 to go, would you want him on your side? Is he a keep calm & trust the process type player? Not for me.

Yeah, he clearly got talent and does things a lot of players can’t (or don’t have the audacity to try) but he’s got plenty of flaws in his game and for a full back I think his defence and speed are not up to standard. Add to that he is a liability with his gob on the pitch and by all accounts is a bit of a booty off it as well I would stay well away from him personally. The lad is also turning 28 very soon so he’s not some young diamond in the rough that can be moulded and improved on, he’s probably at or around his peak currently.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Sep 14, 2022 1:50 pm  

He’s a very talented lad. I get why people don’t like him because he is a wind up merchant but he’d do a good job for most teams playing across any position in the backs.

He’s returning nearly 2 assists a match in a very poor Hull side.

With more space in a good team he could be a real asset.

Not the player we need but his positives as a player out weigh the negatives in my opinion.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Sep 14, 2022 6:28 pm  

I’d happily take him as a centre

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Thu Sep 15, 2022 1:17 am  

I dunno. I think he is a very talented player who can pick a pass or a kick like few can, But his defence is poor, he's much too slow to be a full-back, and his discipiine is terrible, and not likely to improve at his age. I fear he is another Rangi Chase.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Fri Sep 16, 2022 3:20 pm  

for every one play that comes off, there is one that doesn't....and in the modern game it will cost you dearly and probably why Wane has chosen to steer well clear for England.
