Of course he is, it fits your view that Connor should be stand-off. You claimed for long enough that Quinlan’s better but he’s been left without a contract.

My view is Evalds is the better full back.
The only time i have advocated Connor to be at 6 was recently as a replacement for McNamara who just wasnt offering us anything in that position.
I have always said Connors best position is a centre where his lack of pace is more forgiving and he can use his handling skills to get on the end of kicks to the corner and to put his winger away something we hardly see from our current centres.

Good luck to Jordan Abdull but is he really an international quality halfback?

Who knows unless he is given a chance I suppose.
Always looked to be a good player in there when he was with us so I hope the lad goes well.

I don’t think so. Not anti Dobbins, but proves what lack of quality is in super League at this moment in time.
Apart from a few names, it could be an England Knights squad.

Glad Hull aren’t contributing any players. Leave well alone and concentrate on our pre-season.

And yet Hull KR fans could rightly argue that up to his injury Jordan Abdul was leading, along with Sam Tomkins, the MOS steel charts. Not only the best half back around but the leading player fin 2021. I believe St Helens even made an bid to entice the player in mid season so the player must have impressed top coaches as well as collecting votes from the neutrals in the MOS table.

The good thing about Abduls selection is that it shows Wane will pick players in form rather than go off past reputation, granted you could also say his hands been forced due to injury to others aswell I suppose.
