Imo he thinks hes better than he is and will be looking at NRL so even if hes goes to Leeds he wont stay long (if he can actually play consistently as a half back which is where he'll play for them) Hes a centre as many have said but his heads too big to play there as he thinks he should be centre of attention. Schofield was a far better player and we survived after him
Losing him (and he'll be on a wedge after England call ups) will alow money to be spent more evenly round the squad tho we now need a back up half back to replace him
With England call ups comes exemptions to the cap also, fwiw I haven’t heard this from anyone of my usual sources.
I'd be very very very surprised if its true. Leeds have just signed Lui on a wedge to play stand off and I doubt they will want to spend alot of money on Connor.
Even if Connor went to Leeds it wouldn't be to play 6, complete non starter for me. Sometimes players argue, you would be surprised at how often this happens.

I'd be disappointed if it is true but also surprised. Connor is a player that is quality and a very valuable part of Hull FC. I do think he is a far better centre than stand off currently as he needs a sustained run at stand off rather than just to cover injury.
He is a player that is a very real talent and should very much be a player the team is shaped around. Although his demeanour of late hasn't looked great it could be for any number of reasons and could quite easily & simply be because he isn't happy with his own form.
At the end of the day every player has a price I guess but I do believe that AP meant what he said when he stated categorically he would not sell to Leeds.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
