why would we want widdop,just another reynolds or gale,well past his sell by date.

Widdop without playing anywhere near his best this season is far superior to either of Hodgson’s extremely poor signings.

I was just looking on the Warrington forum and genuinely can't believe a lot of their fans wouldn't want them to sign him, given the state of their team this year.

Re: Jake Connor to wire rumour : Thu Jul 07, 2022 3:40 pm  

I was told Monday that he’s off to wire.
Personally think it’s a good move by the club.
BH is evolving the team and tbh I don’t think Connor is a player you can build a team round. ( attitude fitness pace ).

The state of their team this year is immaterial. They seem to be having virtually a complete overhaul of the squad for 2023.

They would probably want a more complete player than JC. There is no denying his brilliance in attack and all the stats quoted dwell solely on that when he is being able bigged up. His defence does let him down and he is a tad slow for an international fullback.

If we are signing all the players that are rumoured then it will be difficult to fit them all in.

Even with our inevitable injuries.

Therefore, selling him could alleviate that headache and give us some money to play with?

be a disgrace if we let connor go,we need to build the club around him,one of the very few uk super league who has skill and vision and some want to let him go.soon as he got injured we were gone.and for anyone to think swapping connor for a 33 year old has been is laughable.

Re: Jake Connor to wire rumour : Thu Jul 07, 2022 6:13 pm  

No way we sell him to another SL team.

Connor has undoubted skill.
However Can you imagine saints or wigan signing him.
Their template is professional hard work ,gelled with intelligent players. If we are to consistently rival the top two then we need to match with our own.
How many bans in total did Reynolds Connor Gale accrue this season?
They are our leadership group that our young kids are suppose to follow.
No wonder we are on the end of these hammerings when young players on considerably less money see the leadership group churning out casual efforts.

Connor has been banned once hasn't he, first game, very harsh too.

If all our players put the effort in as much as Connor and had half the rugby brains, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Is Connor unprofessional, I've heard the complete opposite, ok he mouths off a bit, but no more than some other players do?

connor would not be replaced,like paul cooke.you never replace these class players,i bet wigan wished they had him may 21st.if connor hadnt played that day hull lose.
