He'd slot in at 6 next to Fages. They've lost Levi so will have some wiggle room you'd think.

Maybe they release Pryce early too?

They also have Olly Russell, think Connor is too similar to Lolohea.

Levi is replaced by Peats.

They have signed established 3 centres, 2 young players, Rushton and Livett. Lost Wardle, Cogger, Ricky L and the not so good Senior, that doesn't look like they have a lot of cap space.

Connor will be on at least 3 times what Pryce is too.

Hope you're right Dave. I'd like to see what Smith can do with Connor

Ps just goes to show what good cap management looks like at Hudds!

I agree with Dave, i don’t see why the club would use him in the promo for passes if he was going but then again who knows.

On another note, great to see Carlos back training.

Think next year is another transitional type year, until we can finally recalibrate the squad / cap the year after.

Big year needed from Carlos, I love the bloke but he desperately needs a clean bill of health, we are a much better team when he is in it.

Had a bad season injury wise, but I'm sure the previous few years he has played most games? Seems to somehow got into the injury prone bracket.

Agreed, but we should see improvements with the new head coach and some decent signings. We are still a bit unbalanced but our squad is better than last year.

Maybe those players who couldn't give a toss last season might be persuaded to perform by our new coach. I'm not holding my breath.
