Connor to play centre and a fight between Griffin and Carlos for the other spot and the bench, think both are strong enough to play in the backrow.
Shauls place could also be under threat like any other player
Radford rarely if ever gives Houghton a breather, 2016 and come that crucial Warrington game you could tell he was already shot after 15 minutes, just didn't have it in him to get anywhere near the man for their 1st try, he wanted to but the body was like nope.7
Houghton is more effective overall when he gets a rest, not just in one game but over a season, flogging him week in, week out doesn't get the best out of him, do we miss him when he's off, of course but you have to balance everything not just those minutes without a top player. And by not allowing our other hooker to play/develop as Houghton did alongside Berrigan we stifle that development just as Radford did to Cunningham who was called up for England Knights this year.
Don't think the Connor at LF is a bad shout but Radford doesn't play that way and prefers effectively another prop sized player there.
