Connor got beat a couple of times last year. Most notably Liam Farrel rounding him and meaning him for dead in the England game.
Still love him at full back I just only wish he had a bit more pace and he would be the best in the league.

Yes lack of pace is Connors achilles heel.With pace he would be world class.
Still think his best position for the club is at centre particularly as Gale now can become the link we have missed.
I wouldnt mind seeing a fully fit Shaul or McIntosh at full back

It's a bit of a trade off but I'd rather have Connors vision at full back than Shaul's pace.

As much as we've all blamed Sneyd for out poor attack recently, Shaul was just as bad if not worse. I think BH has done the right thing with looking to shift him onto the wing.

Mcintosh at full back is a big no no, according to Hudds fans.

Does any Super League Team go into the season with three recognised halfbacks .

Hope he's ok for round 1, with Evans banned for the first 3 games we can't be relying on fash and bowden as our bench props at such an early stage in the season. We need to hit the ground running.

Going off the tone of the HDM article it doesn't sound good

Hope its not a reoccurence of the foot issue that kept him out for a long period previously, if it is and its causing an issue for him again then it could potentially curtail his career.

Fingers crossed for him its nothing more than a strain or sprain.

Humberside now reporting Taylor will miss the start of the season with a serious foot injury.

Hes out for an 'extended period of time'. Doesn't sound good at all.

No Evans, Taylor and Cator for the start of the season.

Get an injury to Sao or Satae and we're up the creek already

Satae out as well? With Covid disruption sounds like a stellar pre season

Talor had a great fitness record upto 2019 but only played 20/45 in the last two seasons. News of another serious injury is a real concern for his future.
