Danny Houghton has been sent for surgery on a wrist injury so will miss all of pre-season and is a doubt for our opening fixture.
Looks like we'll see Johnstone sooner than expected.

Disappointing but better now than at the business end. Great early opportunity for Johnstone to show what he can do.

Starts training next week, then just Connor and Jones to come in, start Christmas week. Just under 5 weeks now to our first friendly.

I read recently that Connor’s back training but only twice a week?

Yes. He isn't due back until next week or the week after but has been coming in a couple of days a week to get on top of things I think.
Must be trying to get a good Christmas pressie out of Radders! :lol:

Its a big problem for Radford what to do with Connor as i cant see him now nailing a regular starting position in the team.
He wont like it but my guess he will be moved around to cover for injuries at centre/half back and full back.
I think he will start on the bench with Griffin and two front rows.

I would like to see him given the 1 shirt, but that isn't going to happen. I think you may be right about him being on the bench.

I'd also like to see him at full back but like you say, that won't happen. I like him at right centre, with Ratu on the wing. We won't see the best of him if he's moved around too much. He's one of the few players we have that makes things happen so would like to think he'll be in the 13.

I'd like to see Carlos at Full Back, with Connor at Right Centre. Carlos played some really good rugby in the NRL from Full Back

Definately not in the Cuddle Crew

Re: Pre Season : Sat Dec 14, 2019 11:51 am  
Imo Connor should be starting centre in place of Tui - Tui is a good player but hes not as good as Connor and tough decisions need to be made with the squad we have next year

Connor was In a great run of form prior to him being moved around due to injuries. Hes our best centre imo. No one else is international standard and whilst he had a dip in form last year he was just one of many
