Problem is, if he goes and with Trueman potentially out for the start of the season, who would play at halfback.



Would definitely have to use our last quota spot on a halfback.

I'd like to think if we got the right coaching staff in place they would be able to help improve the kids like McNamara and Hookem to a point where they are good enough to cope better with injuries to any halves. Even our first choice halves this year look like they don't have a clue what's going on.

Same, his ego is too big and he has isn't running anywhere. Can't carry a trick pony to lay a few assists on against Leigh. We need players who do it every week and against the top4 sides.

I’d cash in on Connor if they invested the money in a proven coach who will sort out the shambles once and for all.

Wouldn't blame jake if he wanted to leave but I'd get an experienced coach in and build a team around jake . We haven't got anyone remotely as good as jake in the club or coming in so losing jake and we would still be 9/10th in the league even with a change of coach

I don't think we have anyone at the club who could do the job .

Cash in on jake brilliant



Let's just go all out for relegation

I thought FC was supposed to be a big club. Which so called big club would he go to? I cannot see him being a regular at Saints, Wigan, Leeds, or Cats in the full back role or a halfback. Not even Hudds. He has periods of acknowledged brilliance but almost invariably when things are going well for the team. When the going gets tough he tends to go missing. After his petulant, error ridden performance today I cannot see him being hunted by any club that will be challenging for honours in the immediate future.

Without him we probably would have been this season.



Madness to even think about losing him.

Exactly. We could do with a new coach but not one of the experts on here who thinks we should willingly release our best player who has assisted about 40% of our tries this season.

You're right.



Get rid of our best player and the problems will be solved. We are fortunate to have him.

Even with Jake Connor next season sadly I think if Hodgson & Purtill are still the head & assistant Coaches respectively along with the likes of Taylor, Houghton, Griffin still in the side and without any quality adding in the 2nd row we will likely be fighting to avoid relegation. That for me is a reality of the situation the club are very much facing.

All the talk that next season with the arrival of Hoy, Trueman (who’ll miss a fair chunk at the start of the season) Dwyer and Sutcliffe is pure folly. There hasn’t been a shred of evidence that Hodgson can turn it around in fact it’s the total opposite.
