Connor is somewhat of an enigma
So much talent capable of winning a game but also capable of losing a game.
If like the ref told him to concentrate on the game instead of yapping we’d see a difference.
He’s what I’d call a luxury player
Great when you are dominating a game but when under the pump he loses it

Every team in Super League would sign him if they could.

Hasn't he got quite a lot of assists for us? I mean, those are essentials aren't they, not luxuries.

if Griffins' injury is a lengthy spell, could see Shaul slotting back in at FB and Connor to centre

I hope not. We've started been able to open teams up out wide and Connors passing is the main reason for that which we'd lose with him at centre.

Think we will go with Scott. Or Fonua at centre and Faraimo on the wing?

Shaul isn't going to be back anytime soon

Connor can be annoying but I see little difference between him and Scarsbrook in their approach to the game, except the latter doesn’t get penalised as much. Scarsbrook consistently talks back to the referee. He has hands all over the ball player at the play the ball. Even when marker when the opposition are restarting after,say, a knock on he has hands on the man with the ball. Referees just ignore this.
Best team won but with a fair share of luck and some favourable runs of decisions from the ref. As soon as Hull got some similar decisions - when Saints were three scores up and after 50 minutes - we scored. Hull should have been more composed with the ball in hand but they were the ones having to push the game after the above.

Apart from Griffin any injuries from today?. Thought Scott had a decent game today. Would take Griffin place or else move Fonua to centre Farimo on wing

Thought Satae took a knock, hopefully OK but short turnaround I guess.
