Very few of our players perform in big games that's why we keep getting beat.

Luckily Connor performs against lower teams or we would he in big trouble.

Apart from today.

Griffin gets a free pass again
he is getting worse
Should be dropped but Carlos is injured again so will get another run instead of using Connor Wynne

Hodgson said it was just cramp for Carlos so should be good.

Griffin wasn't great today. Maybe being dropped for Mitch or Wynne will give him the rocket he needs

Needs to be told to get down the gym and get some cardio done, slow and static and you can't throw many Hollywood passes out stood still back in the play

HKR didnt have to do anything on Connor he did it all to himself
We know Connors has ability but you have to start accepting players need to be criticised when not performing and not be the emogi Queen you now are when disagreeing with a posters comments.
Connor was very poor today and it wasnt needing to learn when to put a killer pass(in your words) its the timing and accuracy of the pass and not throwing the ball directly into touch which is what Connor did today.

If you read what I say I indeed do criticize player. I just did with Connor. What I don't do is openly criticize players all the time. I've noticed when we lose the following week we have a elongated postmortem from you on all the failings. We win. Nothing. As far as am aware I'm allowed emojis if I agree or disagree with somebody. Anyway am sure you will enjoy your Easter

I agree with this. He's far from the perfect player but he brings skills that few have with the jeopardy of not knowing whether he'll show up, and is a character that gets people talking - not too many of them around.

Me too. He should be the icing on a well-crafted cake, he's never going to be the flour, butter and egg.

Re: Jake Connor : Fri Apr 15, 2022 6:14 pm  

He was poor today, as all of our pivots were. He wasn't helped by Swift who was almost in front of Connor for every important pass. Hodgson has got to get our wingers playing deeper in attack. I'm starting to find myself agreeing with Tarquin and to play him at stand off. Connor will win us some games on his own, and lose us some games but as much as I like the kid, Reynolds isn't going to win us any games.

He was better as a 14 playing different positions every week. Played like he was trying to earn a spot.

Re: Jake Connor : Fri Apr 15, 2022 6:44 pm  

It's been a couple of dissapointing weeks for Jake but he is the least of our worries. We all know he can do better and he does deserve criticism when not performing well but without him we would certainly be in trouble

Imagine how easy it must be for SL coaches to plan to play against Hull.

Stop Connor, stop Hull.

Other clubs have other threats, we don't, so trans can mark Connor with a couple of players and our other pivots still aren't good enough to create from the extra space.
