Load of rubbish.
What on earth would we want him for?
Because Jai needs his boots cleaning.

On a serious note, I actually think he is one of the best playmakers in the sport & could make for one of the very best at centre. He lacks the physical attributes to compete at fullback at the top level of rugby & I think any competitive SL/NRL team would put him in situations to play off-the-cuff.

He's like a poor man's James Tedesco but more of a prick.

Not a single "big name" in world rugby will play a utility role unless they are completely finished & wanting one last contract. In that case, they probably have Wire on speed dial.
I said its what we need…… not what we will get…… if the jake connor rumour is true he would be a good fit as long as he behaves himself….. he could cover a hell of a lot of positions but i very much doubt it is true

That last line is why we should stay away, we are not in a position where we need to take a rosk with a signing like Connor. Can you imagine what he would be like if he didn’t make the 13 which would be a possibility at full strength (him and King fighting for a centre spot for me). He’s obviously a very talented lad but his defence is poor to say the least and his attitude is the main issue, his own coaches and team mates have openly aired their disliking of him.
The rumour I heard was that Huddersfield wanted Connor.
