Not many positives to take from that apart from how was we still in it with 2 minutes to go . Had chances 1st half , defended too long second . Think it proved tonight, how important and better we look when kelly plays . His running with the ball and strength when taking the line on was missed . Move on to saints!

Agree to some extent, good play in the NRL and for England at centre, but not stand off.
Could still be an excellent SL stand off, like any half needs to the platform, which he didn't get tonight, too many errors

As much as I love him , I’d let him leave if he demanded the 6 spot, surely he must see the devastation he causes in the centres, he was unplayable against cas and cats , creates so much , so doesn’t get the same space , opportunities in the middle , plus not on the receiving end of sneyds kicks

I didnt say that read the post I said its something that has happened several times before and may be part of the reason we are letting him go or as reported only offered him a 1 year deal but Wakefield offered him a 2 year deal. If you were part of the medical team at Hull Fc it has to be a concern

Think us still been in it was more telling of Rovers than us. They blew more chances than we did.

Said the same myself tonight. Whilst Connor is a good 6 he is an even better centre. We lacked any creativity on the edges. He tore Cas and Cats a new one in the previous games. His ability to create a gap and put those through on his shoulders is 2nd to none. Too slow tonight, too many having an off night with quiet games. Shaul, Ratu and Houghton for me played well. Rovers wanted it more and well done to them.
Seemed very disjointed at the play the ball, ball to ground countless times with players confused as who was recieving.
Thought Mini first half and Savelio second half along with Shaul and Ratu deserved credit apart from those alot who perform week in week out simply didnt
I will say it seems weve got the old westerman back now he knows hes leaving

Don't let Connor having a bad night make you doubt him. He's got all the qualities to be a class 6. His best years are still to come, we've only seen the tip of the iceberg.
