Those long left to right balls are amazing
Cam smith can’t throw half that distance
I’ve said I had doubts about Kelly and Connor was my total shoe in at 6 for him
He is the future
He needs to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and play the team's game, rather than his game, on a consistent basis if he's going to be a top rate half back.
With Kelly now staying, until 2020 at least we'll be looking at a Kelly/Sneyd 6/7, so Connor has at least two more seasons plying his trade in the centres and allowing the club to decide whether to look at moving him to 6 long term, or developing him into a top class centre. Personally, I'd rather have a centre with extra strings to his bow, like we do with Connor and Tuimavave, than throw all of our eggs into one basket with the halves and be one dimensional.
