I`m happy with the signing too.
On his day he is a very talented player.
And I don`t mind him winding up the opposition.
He just needs to remember it`s a team game and bollocking his fellow players can be saved for the dressing room.
Mind you many on here pointed to how the likes of JP and other seasoned players in the past would have a go at fellow team mates if they messed up.

It;s only a 2 year contract and i believe he's taken a wage cut... to me it's not much of a gamble but time will tell. I've always rated him personally and it's a typical Blease signing which usually prove successful. I'm fully behind him and fingers crossed the lad performs and fits in well.

Yeah this is often overlooked, the players in that golden generation often gave each other a rollocking, I suppose it's like Brad Arthur says about making players accountable.

The problem when Conner has been doing it it's often been when he's messed up, which is where the issue is.

I would have thought the one person whose regular first team place is under direct threat as a result of this is the much ( and often unfairly) maligned Frawley. As you say, Connor's field kicking has far more variety and in general he's a much more creative player. So unless we do intend to play him as a centre, and I don't think we will, Connor will be competing for a place in the spine. His goal kicking gives him an edge. Will be fascinated to see what transpires.

I think Connor will be a replacement for Momo.

That could very well the case, but I don’t think he'd be an upgrade. He's not bigger, not faster, not noticeably stronger. Just think that if Mom leaves Arthur will want a player that can make a real difference in the 3/4s. The type of player Fusitua should have been but never was. I guess there's an argument for using a quota spot on a 2nd rower, but my gut feeling is that he'll plump for another back who can really get the sets moving downfield.

Sivo would be a good shout especially with Paramatta paying some of his wage.
Personally I prefer Handley on the wing as opposed to him playing centre as his defence isn`t that good.

I'd say Connor would be an upgrade on mom, I'd argue while not faster he's quicker, while not 'bigger' he's more competitive and far more creative. I think he will be used at centre with utility value and I hope he thrives at the club under Arthur
