The big threat will come from the NRL. They’re signing players not as good as Connor, so I’m sure they’ll throw a contract his way eventually.
Do we still have central contracts?
He’d probably get one if he didn’t play for Hull.

Here we go again with the FC paranoia.

Like who?
If you are talking Watkins then before his injury he was the best UK centre in SL.

I think it just shows how one comment on a message board can take on a life of its own, however implausible.

Exactly.

Its amazing that apparently there are some "in the know" yet the club still manages to announce signings no one predicts.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Briers and Sculthorpe and Kimmorley yet

Connor deserves a shot at the NRL but I think he lacks the physical size to get picked every week. Would much rather he went there than to an SL rival.

If his head is turned I'd offer him a marquee contract. He's the most talented young player in the ESL and we need to keep him.

Is he on a central contract or do you have to play for saints or Wigan to qualify for one.

No. We applied but got turned down. Same with Taylor . No reasons given
Remember a couple of seasons ago when Lomax got 1 despite not playing Hardly .

This has been raised before, Lomax, Watkins, Williams, allegedly amongst others on these funny handshake contracts, once again if these inducements still exist, it’s up to AP and our club to protect our interest, and find their voice.
