Problem is its pretty obvious full back is his best position. Early days for Hull but its clear Brett Hodgson has brought common sense to a chaotic club.

Signing Reynolds, picking one of the best hookers in SL as a starter again, moving Connor to 1 and giving them some structure has made them a better team by the looks. Early days though and not the strongest of opposition yet.

Reynolds and Connor are getting the headlines there but the service from the ruck that Houghton provides is top class. I wouldnt want him at his age at Leeds now but oh for a young 9 like him instead of the nonsense we watch. Every pass delivered accurately to the right person. No headless chicken acts, no kicking for himself, no throwing it high, low or behind his receiver just a simple job done brilliantly.

That's funny coz Hull fans have been saying for years that Houghton's distribution and game management is shocking!

On Connor, no thanks. We need some pace in the back line. I sadly think a very tough cap on Walker will come at some point. We may be on the lookout for an Evalds type player. Oh fit the Halycon days where you could go out and sign Brent Webb!

He is off contract this year. If he doesn't sign one by June then they maybe something in this.


I’m just going off what he’s said. He’s quite well known around the club too. May be just nonsense, but he’s quite adamant.

Be a good addition. Despite myler having done really well for us I don't think he'll get another year and even assuming walker makes a return to full fitness Connor's still the better player imo. Whether he's really on his way is another matter.

He’d be a top signing. Ticks a lot of boxes.

Game winner. Xfactor player. Good hands, decent kicker ball in hand and goal kicker, can score a drop goal, elusive, strong. Can play numerous positions. British.

Fullback probably his best but can play stand off well I believe. Given Walkers major injuries he may take his spot?

Hes a top drawer player at times, no doubt about that. I dont really see why he would leave Hull other than he wants to play 6 but his best position is full back.

Re: Jake Connor : Mon Apr 05, 2021 8:30 am  
I think he’d be an excellent signing.
Probably as good as we could expect given the current climate and where we are as a club.

The main thing he’d bring for me is that he regularly plays and hardly ever seems to be injured.
We currently have an injury dilemma at the club.
We can’t keep players fit.
Not sure if it’s the players or the conditioning or just bad luck.
But we need to start bringing in players who can stay fit.

I’ve said before that I’m worried that Walker is gonna be another Ward.
So Connor would be an ideal full back.
