Id be more worried if Knockers thought he was a good signing.

We could sign Thurston he would say he's no good Dave.

Hope they enjoy it bud. Thinking of taking my nephew to kr he's a right little 5hit!

I see the kid as a young British signing along with Griffin he looks like he'll add size and youth.

Just a thought - Centre position ?

Yeaman aside - when was the last top notch centre we produced ?

Centre is arguably the easiest position to play in the game yet we struggle to produce a winner.

Also Logan and Lancaster may feel slightly put out ??

Why do you always see the worst in everything the club does? A cast of? No pedigree, our recruitment has been very good, we have cover in every position unlike some clubs who are doing it very tough. You are a vey negative person who knows nothing about rugby, I've said this before you knock everything the club does for the reason if it goes pear shaped you can say "told you so" you really are a d1ck.

You clearly AGAIN cannot digest and understand and are too quick to jump on my post because of your agenda. Take some time to read it again, it's not seeing the worst, I asked a genuine question.
If we are signing soon to be 22yrd olds (come Oct) who is not a particularly stand out player which doesnt say hes rubbish either. And yes he is a 'cast-off', otherwise Hudds would be retaining him so by definition that is true.
As we have not had a youngster cement a position in the team as i mentioned and have supposedly signed Connor then it IS a sign the club do not have faith in the ability of our younger players otherwise why the heck are we signing this type of player at all?

That in no way is seeing the worst but a consideed question/query based on what has and has not happened.

Pretty good signing and one who appears to replace whiting versatile in a number of positions young and best to come with quite a bit of super league experience I think we may of backed off bringing in a 6 I think the coaches are going to give Carlos a go at staking his claim for next season but got to say im impressed with our recruitment and the fact where doing business so early this is for me a good statement of intent already for next season well done FC where on the up for sure

Re: Jake Connor signing : Sat Jun 18, 2016 10:51 pm  

My main worry is, he looks and runs a bit funny , not sure he'll look to good in the mighty black and white

Re: Jake Connor signing : Sat Jun 18, 2016 11:24 pm  

Seems a decent enough prospect, reckon that's confirmed Michaels is going, and have to wonder if Yeamo is hanging the boots up.

It's the old "fans don't rate a player that's leaving the club" routine.
I think it's a very good signing, and very good recruitment again from the club. As was Griffin.
Not a cast off in any way shape or form. Young, talented, aggressive and can play all along the back line.
Amazing how some supporters look for any type of negative in whatever the club do.

Could not of said it better myself. 20 try's in 44 app. Not bad for a young player with supposedly no pace.

You're the first person I've ever heard describe centre as the easiest position to play. If anything from a defensive point of view it's probably the hardest given how many crucial decisions a centre needs to make.
