It looks like Momirovski is on the way out anyway. In fairness to the player, he arrived at the end of the pre-season after recovering from an injury, and despite some glimpses I don't think we got to see the best he had to offer. In some ways he reminded me of Kallum Watkins in his last season at Leeds when he was struggling to cope with his loss of pace after a run of bad injuries. If Mom is really considering a move into coaching, perhaps he's also questioning whether his body is up to the demands of RL? If it was just a case of being out of form and not wanted by Leeds, you'd think he might back himself at another SL club (Cas?) or go back to one of the NRL reserve comps?

After years of disappointment, could Connor under Arthur possibly be our best signing for a while? Our 3/4s have looked so predictable every week. Even Newman has been predictable. A good off season with the 2 new fowards, Hall and possibly one more back looks good

This would be a right result for Leeds. He’s been the most disappointing signing in years for me.

I watched a highlights video of Connor the other day which made me a little concerned about his signing. He is a very off the cuff sort of player who throws speculator passes and kicks. When they come off they are great but likewise when they do not come off it is not ideal. Not sure he is the sort of player we want, albeit hopefully he offers a lot more than what I have seen.

I suspect his running style possibly sets him apart from Momo. He has a step on him and can draw players in and then offload. Centre may be the best place for him to limit his passes and kicks. Hope he doesn't throw too many passes in to touch though.

I can't see BA putting up with some of Connor's former behaviour (on or off the pitch). He will either fall in line with the plan, or find himself not playing.






It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

I've just watched the interview with JJB and Jake on the Box
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeDJS8z9B0E

I get the feeling after watching it that Jake might actually end up playing some/plenty of game time at 7 during the season.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
With Ian Blease saying that our transfer window could actually take 2/3 transfer windows to complete the desired squad, then certain players are clearly deemed surplus to requirements who are currently at the club.
Would Conner actually be a better option at 7 if Frawley left?

Well it doesn’t sound like he’s going to be playing in the Centre that much, don’t want him getting bored. I think he’s actually the first reserve for 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7.

The other thing was that with the number of adverts in the programme, it became unwatchable after about 15 minutes.
