What did everyone think of Connors today.

Can't understand the change in him over the last six or so games.

Personally dragged down our kicking efficiency when everyone else was hitting targets.  The number of long bombs into the forward line after waiting for the Saints defense to flood was really impressive.

Dan was the same old Dan = SELFISH (just look at that "effort" on the wing  :banghead)

But hey the coach loves him

His kicking was very poor. He was lazy. He just kicked without thinking. Kicks never went to our advantage. Was very unimpressed. Should be dropped.

I would argue (strongly) that it's been like that all year but can get hidden away when things are going well (read you're winning) compared to when things aren't going well.

As I said before and I will say it again he is a very selfish player

He is a pretty good kick but you have nailed the problem - "He doesn't think". Just slings his legs across his body and hopes. Also dislike his addiction to the '70s dummy sell. Players just run straight at him and his farkt.

He does has talent but needs to get fit.

I think Connors goes on the list of "need another year" to make a call. Becasue we have such a high number of new players this year (14 from memory) that list is getting very long and thats why we wont be to good next year either. The year after will be the big turnover of players if they dont come up to scratch.

Both Dan and Richard have another year.
