Real strength in depth, effectively we have a SPARE top class SL back, versatility is such that we can cover any one absence without weakening the team.

Add Miloudi, Logan, Harris, Scott and we are well set & balanced.

Reality is one ( at least ) will always be injured. SNEYD will play - his kicking is absolutely fundamental to our gameplan, sadly few in SL never mind us can match him in this department.

I know it's absolute blasphemy with Hull fans, but going on this season's form and assuming a fully available squad, it's Shaul who misses out for Connor IMO.

So we've had Connor replacing Sneyd, Kelly, Griffin and now Shaul.

Any more offers?

(Forgot about no 13.)

I'd give him a go at hooker. He's got all the attributes to play there..Rotate him with Houghton. I think it'd work

Let’s hope his shoulder is ok ?

No offence but this is the worst idea yet, Connor and Houghton are both far too good too only play 40 minutes each.

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

i only hope we don't go too far the other way - in that radford might not know who his best team is. our 2016/17 success was largely based around a very settled 1 to 17

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.

connor at loose man

Well I'm going to leave it to Radders to sort out because, despite what a certain person on here says, he obviously does know what he is doing. And long may it continue.

If Radford wants Sneyd and Kelly in the halves then I would have Connor and Griffin as the centres.

Interesting to see what Bennett will do with Connor in the England squad later this year. Possible halfbacks include Connor, Widdop, Lomax, Gale, Williams and maybe Richardson.

Usual nonsense not based on any fact, Houghton like Roby is an 80 minute player, you have named 1 game in the last 5 years were Houghton looks tired, it was the last game of a long season where Houghton played just about every minute, I honestly can't remember a game when I though Houghton needs to come off.

I liked Cunningham, but like Hodgson it was bad timing and we have certainly survived without him.

There will be a point soon when DH needs a rest and when that happens Litten will get more gametime, as I've said before Radford Lowe more than you about when Litten is ready.

Look to me another chance to have a dig at Radford
