Not for me, poor positionally, slow as balls and has a tendancy to throw a strop when things are going wrong (which they will a lot this season). He could be absolutely magic but doesn't seem to have the mentality to match his ability.

Not sure, would he come back, the only position I'd consider he for would be centre, think he is too slow with Trueman and Abdul, not sure I could take a certain posters moaning.

Who knows will Hull at the moment.

He'd offer us an extra pivot in attack and provide cover in the halves when one of Abdul/Trueman are out for a long period, which, based on the last couple of seasons is highly likely...and when he's playing in the halves, it gives Moy some game time to develop too. Cartwright could be the no nonsense coach that Connor needs

Loved Connor when he was here but I wouldn't want him back now. Looked poor at Huddersfield whenever I've seen them.
If he did come back the only position I'd want to see him would be centre.

Wasted in the centre I think as he doesn't get his hands on the ball enough when playing there

True, but every time he gets his hands on the ball at centre he scores or sets someone up. He is also a really good kick target and his defensive frailties are less apparent.

Still think he best rugby which got him England caps where at centre, but get what you are saying Steve.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed Jun 12, 2024 12:59 pm  

Plays centre for me if we go for him. Don't think he's been happy at huddersfield at all, his effort in the team song after their last win was very revealing

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed Jun 12, 2024 1:09 pm  

He is a talent at centre and agree he has played some of his best rugby for us / England there, but I think he's a player that needs his hand on the ball a lot in games. Would give us more unpredictability on last tackle plays rather than Abdul putting a high bomb up and Trueman running it
