I think Talakai and Ramien are obviously better 'strike' centres, but there is not a player in the league that punches above his weight more than Connor. If our whole side put in like him we'd be a chance to win the comp.
I'd like to see us find a better balance with Talakai. We are losing the middle regularly, so we could benefit from his go forward there. But just because he is there doesn't mean we can't set plays to put him out wide to isolate defenders. Also would let us play Connor there in defence to avoid Talakai being beaten on the outside.
Picking Connor also sends a message to the squad that hard work and effort gets rewarded. I think that's something that a few in our side could definitely do with remembering.
