He was probably guilty of over trying yesterday, goingbfor that killer pass when it wasn't always on, he maybe needs to learn that it's not all about him and let the other pivots have more Influence for the good of the team (that's probably a coaching thing though)

You all know he'll come good though, he's to good not too

Seems since gale/Reynolds have been back, Connor been up in the line more, rather been deep out the back, which gave him more space, to destroy teams throughout March! Been terrible last few games

Definitely agree he certainly hasn't linked up with gale like we hoped he would. I think the only players that haven't been awful the last couple of games are brown and mau and to a lesser extent ligi

Re: Jake Connor : Mon Apr 18, 2022 7:31 am  

Sadly the worst game he has ever had for us.

Play selection just apalling and soooo wrong.

Watched Munster the other day, barely visible for most of first half, did the basics then wow, just don’t see any patience or good decision making.

Fully agree that halves were missing in action which doesn’t help, but all he can do is worry about his own contribution, largely inaccurate short range bullet passes killed us, please please please get ur head down, graft & pick ur moment to show ur skills.

Will be cheering all on today, but dreading a repeat of Fridays woeful showing

Are you seriously comparing him to Munster? Playing in a team all those options, and with all that quality?

Re: Jake Connor : Tue Apr 19, 2022 8:37 am  

Not a big fan of those big passes on kick return but a much better showing from Connor yesterday.

I'd not thought about how effective he could be on short kickoffs. He is so good in the air that he nullifies that threat almost single handedly.

Top of SL currently with 22 assists ahead of Lolohea (17) and Welsby (14)
Just the 5 yesterday but, of course, he "can't do it against the top teams"
Jake Truman is 7th.

Looking forward to Truemans productivity for us, would of been there to finish the Wynne break off..

Re: Jake Connor : Sun May 22, 2022 7:28 am  

I do love how when we beat teams one of the first things their fans seem to want to do is have a dig at Connor. Quite laughable after they've just seen him rip their team apart.

Trueman in this team would be a revelation. Connor's support play is pretty much non existent, Trueman would make up for that in spades.
