Abdul will get mullered at 13 against SL opposition

I felt that way about him in half's but not 13. I don't think you even believe what you wrote there? It's the bottom 4 of superleague and he has already proved he can operate at that level in seasons past

I mean he isn't physically up to playing as a middle against SL opposition. He'll get spotted in defence constantly. We're playing sika manu as 13 and he gets battered

When I've watched Manu iv not seen him battered ever.one tough hombre as Stevo would say.Oloughlin plays 13 whilst never at 100 percent.Think nowadays the fashion is to play an extra prop at 13.you had a ball playing 13 in Westy and he wasn't in long term plan that is probably why Abdull shipped out cos Radford certainly didn't see him as a superleague halfback

sheens must give atkins a go agaimst Halifax he may be the answer for an astute kicking game ,and creativity, minns, Heffernan, greenwood, carney, clark plus a couple of quality additions, you have suddenly got a different outlook on things.. hopefully,, want Halifax through but think we will win on sunday

Westerman is a big bloke though and does a big shift in defence. abdul just isn't physically up to it so you'd be putting extra pressure on the other forwards

Then your defensive patterns (and I don't mean Hull's I mean whichever team) need to reflect what players you're playing in what positions.



It could warrant a whole new thread on the players that Rover's have on their books (and I might start it but I'm a bit busy) about who should be playing where, but there is real fact that we have a massive amount of players but do we have real quality?



And that's down to Sheens.

Journalist John Davidson says we have 3 or 4 still to sign for the Middle 8s and plenty of cap spare. People should take time to digest these signings and consider the fact we have won this competition at a canter with a far weaker squad than will be fielded when it matters.

Not sure I agree. Can't be d to research players heights and weights but I'd say not much difference between the 2? Abdull certainly has shaped up since his arrival.Quite ironic I'm defending a hull player against a hull fan .I don't want him as a half but at present he is our best option.This situation may change if you believe the rumours. To put it in perspective I like Donaldson for us and until his injury he was probably our best forward but he is probably a squad player in superleague at loose man.Abdull offers more at 13

sure its not jim Davidson we could do with a big break

No Jim Davidson jokes or Salford Kiyan will be on throwing a tantrum again

On a Jim Davidson theme I heard snooker loopy song on the radio the other day and disturbingly remembered all the words to it
