| I've always been impressed with him when I've seen him play , but I can't see him been happy if he's not playing . It's not as though he's 18/19 and willing to be patient for his chance . Not a position I thought we was in need of , unless either yeaman is retiring or maybe fonua is going back home !

| Not seen anything of the lad and certainly never stood out when we have played Huddersfield.
The concern for me is when you read the Huddersfield forum comments on him whether they are positive or negative what does come to light is his lack of pace.

Is that the Welsh RU player who played centre as a trialist for the under23s?

| Can't say I'm overawed, it's clear signal there is no faith in our own youth products IMHO, are they really that bad that we have to sign another lowly clubs cast-off that has no pedigree?
We've had no-one come onto the scene and cement a regular place in the 17 since Shaul at the back end of 2013(Albeit due to injury to McDonnell), isn't that somewhat worrying that our youth system hasn't produced a break through player in getting on for three years?

An upgrade, no, he really isn't!

Not worried at all, there are a few players ready to play, it's just fortunate that we haven't had too many injures, like this season has shown its a squad game.
Griffin relaces Micheals (Fonua on the wing)
Connor to replace Carlos (who replaced Pryce)
4 centres fighting for 2 spots
4 wingers fighting for 2 spots.
Really happy with our recruitment and how young and strong our squad looks.
Very good stats with him contributing to a quarter of there try's and that's in a poor side.

Cant comment on his tries but a good player will always stand out in a struggling team yet when i have watched Huddersfield i never noticed him.
the comment below pasted from a Hudds supporter on their forum sums up the signing for me.
I was always slightly disappointed with Connor - he obviously had bags of talent, but I think he needs that little bit of humility that young players sometimes need.
In my opinion, for a young lad, his lack of pace and stamina is surprising. And when people say he's a good utility player, it normally means that there's better players in all of the positions he can play.
Good luck to him, but I won't live in fear when I see his name on the opposition team sheet

| .... so, if he replaces Yeaman, you'll be in your element.

As soon as a player leaves, many fans look to the negatives, has played a lot at stand off this year, so maybe that's why he hasn't stood out, maybe in a bit of a comfort zone at Hudds, will have to come here and work hard to get and keep his place next season.

| It's the old "fans don't rate a player that's leaving the club" routine.
I think it's a very good signing, and very good recruitment again from the club. As was Griffin.
Not a cast off in any way shape or form. Young, talented, aggressive and can play all along the back line.
Amazing how some supporters look for any type of negative in whatever the club do.

He's scored 4 against us in the last 4 games so should of noticed him. 9 tries this term isn't a bad return this year either for a player in a poor team. No set position and only 21
Pace is a great attribute. But fast in the head is obviously in this lad with 9 and 9 assists in a poor team
