Connor tracey appreciation thread

I had my doubt Ciro wouldn’t throw him in at 1. I was worried he’d use him as a winger (which he is actually good at aswell) but all hats off to Ciro for giving him a go at the back after the Taaffe concussion.

If this kid stays injury free he will be our best fullback since Barba. Maybe not rock star. But does everything so well. Eats meters, has a great pass and vision. Enough speed, I said it in the off season. He is the best fullback at the club and people laughed at me :p Taaffe can’t eat meters and isn’t guaranteed under the high ball. In fact he is scared to attack high balls. We have improved out of right with Conner at 1.
 
Looks like Taffe needs to find another position lol… Tracy ain’t letting go the fb spot…
 
It's just fucking nice to have confidence that he's not gonna drop every second bomb and then bring the ball back with some gusto. He's a little weapon.
 
To think that so many on here wanted Taffe to be our Fullback... lol

Connor has always had the skills and the xfactor, i remember him smashing us years ago in Nsw cup game. But lucky for us Sharks had Will Kennedy..

Sexy is a beast. He could be an NRL top5 HB if people are willing to let him develop. He’s just a kid.
as for Tracey, well I was one calling for him to FB. I watched pretty much every sharks game in their run to the finals last year and he put that team on his back and carried them to most of those wins. He’s a dawg. He’ll give you 80mins of mistake free footy, 200m and a couple of try’s or try assists, every week.

If we have the choice of Tracey or Kennedy at this point in the comp. Tracey wins hands down.

I cant wait to see him perform against the Sharks later on in the season.

To be fair, Tracey is actually a five-eighth/centre turned winger, so that ball playing he's got can be traced back to his time as a half

His pass selection and timing is very good, rarely throws a poor ball.

Imagine being a titans fan and watching your shit club move on Fogarty and then make a scapegoat out of Sexton

Other than that shocker against the Raiders, he hasn't put a root wrong all season. He's only going to get better as he gains confidence and clicks with the spine and outside men.

Looking back, I always rated him even at the Sharks. He'd not only fill any position, but would then do a top 3 performance most games. I never understood how the Sharks couldn't find a permanent spot for him in that 17.

Trying to keep Talakai starting centre really fucked them. Scared of losing Iron probably the main reason though.
 
Glad this thread is available… he’s been excellent for us this year, a real goer and speed off the mark is among the best in the NRL.

Critta and others were exceptional Vs Parra but it was Tracey who beat his man twice setting up tries, he was safe under the high ball and for most of the game bar a bobbled grubber in the second half… he’s turned out to be a great pick up!

One thing that does irritate me is when he made one blemish vs Raiders, a lot of fans threw their toys out the cot, Kiraz made a similar costly error against the same team but he’s Teflon….. let’s be fair to these men, all are putting in, there’s not one player who doesn’t deserve to wear our colours in our active squad and we can’t sh!t the bed when there’s a human error that is often unavoidable…

This team is Fkn humming!!
 
that conference yesterday with conner, wilson and critta, seeing them clearly formulating the try and then executing it, fucking beautiful
