Tompkins is a better player than Connor, I'm not sure you will get any fans arguing that, but Connor is a fantastic player who can play FB, Centre and halfback to a very good standard, how many other players in SL can play as well as him in those positions.
The fact that Lyne and Sargisonson are in the squad above him, is the reason that Hull fans and fans of other clubs are shocked he isn't in the squad.
A player with his ability, his utility value and the fact he has stepped up (unlike many other supposed better players) internationally are the reasons he should be in the squad. He has his flaws, but who doesn't, I can show you plenty of clips when Tompkins has missed tackles, bad mistakes and mouthed off, but he doesn't get the unfair press that Connor gets.
Totally agree about Lyne and sargingson shouldn't be anywhere near the squad in fact they aren't even the best centres at their club laughable they are in
I've never been impressed with Lyne always thought he's ok at best and that's at a minnow club with no expectations ever
Quite a few of our fans have said Connor is world class
Tompkins has won many grand finals and challenge cups and has stared in the biggest games for 10 years
Connor hasn't done a 10/10.in a final or semi final yet that's the difference between them
He's a very good super league player on his day but still hasn't done it in the biggest games ( flopped in the semi last season, some people don't realise he played against Wigan in 2017 that's how quiet he was!)
He needs to start ripping saints Wigan wire apart like he does Salford, leigh, Huddersfield and he might start getting a look in
as 3 others did as well ast season
