I have not seen that much of him, and he is only young, but I would say he is more similar to Steve Evans in his ability to play almost anywhere across the back line. Similar to Ratchford at Warrington.

Radford's judgement on young talent has been good thus far and we have to trust him. We are likely to lose both our young halfbacks and have little genuine cover at full back a position he plays very well. I'd like to think he came to the Derby looked round and said, "This is for me"


htw to rovers?

Maybe Cas?

Will he be another victim of the realingment of the wage structure?

Losing genuine young talented half backs including HTW if the rumours are true due to an inflexible wage structure seems ludicrous when we are obviously paying Connor an above average wage based on what Huddersfield are reporting that they offered him the best contract ever to a player of his age.
I would much rather have a young specialist half back coming through to the senior ranks than another utility player fitting in when necessary who although is only two years older is probably earning treble the salary.

To be fair, nobody actually knows for sure the salaries of the players. It's all conjecture.
Connor is a good player already, and will get better, so I don't blame the club for signing him.
One thing that has seen a massive improvement is recruitment, so I trust Motu on this one.

Anyone found any confirmation of this latest info in the media yet? It doesn't appear to be in the Mirror.






"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the (Dark) Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

.... he's worried Connor might take Kirk Yeaman's place.






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

For me, I'd liken Connor to Richard Whiting when he joined us.

A clever footballing brain at a young age. A Centre and Full back who can play across the threequarter line and a very useful five eighth which Rich certainly was when he joined us from Fev.

The big difference of course is that Connor has real pace, a step and speed off the mark and an eye for a gap.

Of course if young Jake could add to his talents, Rich's outstanding defence, positional sense, and great loyalty to the Hull FC, then we will have a real player.

Either way it looks like Radders has his man, and I wish Jake great success in the famous B&W irregular stripes.
