Connor is a prodigious talent, but get the feeling he never really fulfilled his true potential here. Maybe down to the coaching, maybe the player himself, or maybe a bit of both?
I’m happy the attacking threat will be spread around the team now though.
It was either down to Connor to conjure up a play, or Satae to get himself over the line.
This thread will be on fire next year, given the amount of players we have OOC.
No one performs like a player looking for another pay day. Puts us in a strong position moving forward I think. Just got to hope we don’t get lulled in by players who suddenly start playing well and then half booty it when they get their new contract.
For the first time in a long while we have a young exciting spine who will all improve. Hopefully we can bring in a decent back rower, Longstaff and English but I imagine that would need someone like shaul to move on.
From there I’d be quite confident we have pretty decent depth and not too many players around our 19 man squad who have hit their peak.
From now on the priority has to be value for money. We need to worry about how in the last year of their contract their stock has risen so they need a payrise rather than they were a good player when we signed them 3 years ago.
