Let’s hope so as I think he is certainly a player the owner, coach, team mates and fans want to see be retained.

I think his comments in regards to Brett Hodgson were promising and I think he feels wanted by BH.

I don’t think it would be too far wrong to say has we still had LR or AL I doubt he’d have signed again.

I think the team camaraderie they seem to be building can also only help.

We need a new thread re Jake

But I always said from day 2 that he’d be a Hall of Fame player for FC albeit at 6 which I still believe is his best position



I also said Radford should go in 2015

And you was wrong.

I think staying is a good move for Connor. Say he signs a 2 year deal, and he is a full back for the next 2 years. Then when his next contract is running down, he can go to NRL clubs and say, "I'm a Full Back, pay me this." The full backs in the NRL are probably the highest earners in the squad, so if he can go to them and say he has played 3 years at full back - 60-70 assists etc. he can look for a bigger contract

Great news about Connor, brilliant at fullback

Lee Radford linked with the Cas job. I wonder what Liam Watts would make of that?

Hopefully Cas will give the job to Radford and it’ll be taxi to Hull for Watts

I think you would be surprised as to how few NRL fullbacks there are at the top of their team's salary list..

In talks with Rovers? 3 league wins in 21 for Smith, Radders seeking SL return..

Super League wins in total;



13 from 39 Sheens. ratio 1 in 3



8 from 32 Smith ratio 1 in 4.



Simple Mathematics suggest the pressure is mounting for Smith.

I'll pay for it.

I can't see Smith getting the chop this early after last nights performance. Very impressive apparently. Lots of positives despite the heartbreak of another golden point loss by a O'Brien drop goal. Must have been sickening to be reminded of the agony of the million pound game.



Referee had another stinker by all accounts.
