Jamie Shaul's not even going to try and replicate Super League star Jake Connor - but can still help fire Hull.
He is set for an extended run in his old full-back position with Connor out for 12 weeks with a knee injury. Shaul, who starts at Warrington on Friday, had been the club’s regular No1 ever since debuting in 2013. But coach Brett Hodgson switched England maverick Connor there last season and he’s ruled supreme.
Connor’s 24 try assists is more than any other player in Super League. Shaul said: “Jake’s Jake and I’m me. We all know what he can do. He’s more of a ‘good ball’ player; he lights up when we get near their try-line. I’m probably a different player. I’ll do the stuff he doesn’t like doing and I’ll try and get us on the front foot, do my bit for the team.
