Sorry I didn't realise you aren't allowed in a squad if their is a better player than you in that position. Tompkins is a better player than Connor, I'm not sure you will get any fans arguing that, but Connor is a fantastic player who can play FB, Centre and halfback to a very good standard, how many other players in SL can play as well as him in those positions.

The fact that Lyne and Sargisonson are in the squad above him, is the reason that Hull fans and fans of other clubs are shocked he isn't in the squad.

A player with his ability, his utility value and the fact he has stepped up (unlike many other supposed better players) internationally are the reasons he should be in the squad. He has his flaws, but who doesn't, I can show you plenty of clips when Tompkins has missed tackles, bad mistakes and mouthed off, but he doesn't get the unfair press that Connor gets.

Totally agree about Lyne and sargingson shouldn't be anywhere near the squad in fact they aren't even the best centres at their club laughable they are in

I've never been impressed with Lyne always thought he's ok at best and that's at a minnow club with no expectations ever

Quite a few of our fans have said Connor is world class

Tompkins has won many grand finals and challenge cups and has stared in the biggest games for 10 years

Connor hasn't done a 10/10.in a final or semi final yet that's the difference between them

He's a very good super league player on his day but still hasn't done it in the biggest games ( flopped in the semi last season, some people don't realise he played against Wigan in 2017 that's how quiet he was!)

He needs to start ripping saints Wigan wire apart like he does Salford, leigh, Huddersfield and he might start getting a look in

He can be a handy player, although he does appear a bit hot and cold.

Which player isn't, especially playing in an underperformed side.

Same reason the likes of Danny Brough, Lee Briers and a few others were not, show pony, inconsistant, attitude, temperament, lack of real ability, go missing when it really really matters.

People getting carried away with connor after a good 40 minutes against an awful leeds performance from a leeds side playing to get rid of the coach.

Bit harsh on Reece Lyne. A very good and more importantly, consistent player and we're net exactly blessed with quality centres ?

As for not being the best centre at Trinty, really ?

Definitely harsh. Lyne isn’t what I would call a classy centre but he is very hard working and consistently good. His yard gains are very good also along with his defence. I can only recall Lyne having one bad game in a wakey shirt. He works hard and does the basics to a good standard.

But no Connors awesome!

Yeah but need more than that to beat aussies nz and Tonga

Players like percival, king, Newman, Griffin are a lot better than

Would even have players like hardaker and welsby above him as well

Are Jake Connor fans seriously picking this week to question Sam TOMKINS defence ?

State of Connors “attempt” on Field.

Tomkins is better at every facet of the game but maybe most importantly his leadership, will to win attitude and 10+ years of big performances in big games.
