Just can't see Jake at loose forward ???? We know he won't make the hard yards when needed, defensively anywhere near the middle he will draw heavy fire, largely negating his attack. I see him as a 6 ( or pivot ), think his lack of pace at full back now too much of an issue. Hoy & Walker both have much more pace than him. Do hope he stays around though, he is currently about 90% of our attack.
Connor’s a modern day Mick Crane. There’s always a place for that type of player in British Rugby League. This adherence to the Oz style of play is what’s making our game static. Deffo time for a change. A spine of Walker, Trueman, Hoy, Lovodua and Connor would even sort Saints out, provided the pack has the go forward. Don’t get this Connor would be targeted by opposition props, last time I saw him, a few weeks ago now, he’s a big lad who can look after himself.

I like Lomax & Dodd, Smith & Field, Sneyd & Croft, Pearce & Drinkwater, Lewis & Abdul intrinsically two balanced halves are carried by the top teams, the seven is invariably the better kicker, it’s always been thus.
It’s a simple game complicated by an Australian rationale, everyone got a process, process, play the greatest game the best way, look what’s in front of you.
Ps I was going to add Millward & Hartley, Hepworth & Hardesty, Davo & Hancock.
