Connor has played in the majority oif games this season. Since Leeming has been given his chance he has missed just the Leeds game.

Connor played the 1st few games when Grix was injured. As soon as Grix was fit, Connor got dropped.

He then came in when Ferres was injured, soon as Ferres was fit. He got dropped!

What are the chances of him keeping his place when cudjoe returns.

We basically use him as cover for injuries. This is despite the fact that he is already a better full back than Scott Grix. Give him a run there and he will only get better. Yes he'll make mistakes but could be our full back for a very long time.

We lost all 3 games connor played at fullback. I don't think he is a better fullback- he has the potential to be- but he isn't yet.

Ok Jools. I disagree with you on that, but that's my opinion.

Going on your opinion, how will he reach that potential if he is playing at centre or not at all.

The point I'm making is to give the lad a chance. A good run of games. Not one or two here and there.

We don't become weaker by losing Grix. That is one position along with 7 and 9 where we can afford to try somebody new.

You have no idea what position the club see connor in, it's looking like centre which makes sense as Wardle is looking good at second row and could take hughes' spot. You have no idea who may be lined up for next season at fullback- if it is connor you have no idea what work he may be doing in that position behind the scenes.
I trust in the club- they've not got it wrong regarding youngsters that I can see- can you say different?

You're right Jools.

I have as much of an idea about these things as you have.

However I have eyes and can see Connor deserves to be playing week in and week out. The same cannot be said for Grix when we have other options in my opinion.

I will agree that wardles future lies in the 2nd row. Let's see where he plays Sunday.

Re: End of the road !! : Thu May 28, 2015 6:58 pm  

Er, a certain player's lack of tackling let Cas score 2 tries last week. And Grix gets slated!

Re: End of the road !! : Thu May 28, 2015 7:28 pm  

He wasn't the only one.

And the same certain player made a certain try saving tackle, so let's not be picky.

As I said, he needs to learn, and will make mistakes along the way.

I thought you weren't allowed to count the try saving tackles- they haven't ever counted before.....

People get picky as far as Grix is concerned.

Re: End of the road !! : Wed Jun 03, 2015 8:52 am  

Grix is a weak link IMO. I don't think he'd get a starting spot in any of the other top 6 sides.
