What I didn't like was that after Connor scored his try and he gave a "come on" gesture to the Rovers defence while strolling in, Kendall pulled him to the side and had a word with him about his taunting.
I remember somebody on here mentioning it during a previous game (Warrington maybe) where Connor was winding people up. The ref having a word with him to stop it. But why should he? He isn't breaking any rules of the game,not hurting anybody,and if the opposition are dumb enough to let him get to them then it's their own fault and they need to learn to control their own emotions.
He can't be sent off for laughing at people so what's the point in having a word with him.

We need captain(s) to be on hand to defend jake with situations like that.

I said the same at the Time, Kendall had a word with his but honestly what can the refs so about it? Absolutely nothing.

I meant that all 3 were won the hard way - none could be considered as one off bits of luck.

Maybe he is....

Rules of the Game/Misconduct

(i) behaves in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game.

Let's be honest.
He is one irritating lover.
But he plays for us so he gets special dispensation.

To me it is more showboating than taunting, and pretty innocuous. You’d have to have a bit of a thin skinned to see it as provocative. At worst, if I was being a very po-faced, you could say it was a bit immature, but at 23 you maybe still get a pass for that. if he’s trying to cultivate an image as an irritant, he maybe feels it is incumbent on him to do something, and I think that is about the right level - noticeable, but no big deal.

I’ve no particular issue with the ref having a word either though. It’s just one of the subtle nudges we all get as we grow up and it won’t be dismissed as youthful exuberance forever. Without these little social cues, I might not know not how ridiculous i’d look doing a dab at 42, for example.

Connor is the future. He’s not a bench player
Radford should play him for 80 mins every game
Now !

That and Greenwood using his knees to dislodge the ball and to give the oppositions body some attention.l

So tarquin where would you play connor every match?
