Yeah I can agree with that. Our forwards are better than theirs and they've been setting us a good platform (most part due to Satae so could do with him back), Connor has the class to make the most of that.

They have a few out too, including their two best attacking players.

Think Connor will play 6 with Shaul or Wynne at FB.

Would've taken that result/performance before a ball was kicked.

Cats have tended to stick with teams then pull away in the last 20. They did it to us at the KC, Leeds twice plus others. They're a good team, I'd like to see them go the distance this year.

Hopefully the covid rules are tweaked so we can get some more bodies back next week. IF Connor is fit that would be massive for us. We've looked blunt without him.

I also think need to try something at hooker off the bench.

I can't see BH moving Connor from full back. It's his shirt to lose, unless we are forced due to injuries

100%. The more options the better for me.

Sneyd can get us into position, Grub is a tryer but without Connor we have little to no x factor in our spine

It's more yo do with what's best for the team.

We have two fullbacks potentially available in Wynne and Shaul, where we have limited lions at halfback.

Which is stronger

Shaul
Connor
Reynolds

or

Connor
McNamara
Reynolds

Re: Catalans Away : Fri Aug 13, 2021 7:51 pm  

AP says we will have most of our players back which suggests the 5? who tested positive will be available. Thought they couldn't play under the present rules?

Think if Sneyd is still out then we have to go with Connor in the halves and Shaul (if fit) or Wynne at full back. But if Sneyd is back I'd stick with him at Reynolds in the halves and Connor at fullback.

It's a tricky one. I'd still be tempted to keep Connor at FB and push Shaul to the wing/14
Ben Mc needs game time if he's going to make it.

Connor
Shaul/Faraimo
Fonua/Scott
Carlos
Swift
Grub
McNamara/Sneyd

All COVID/injuries dependant of course
