It's a funny thing about Abdull. Rovers fans crowing about how excellent he was because they thought he was signing for them for next year early on, now desperately trying to play him down when it was confirmed he's actually our player and we intend that he's returning. Hull fans not really bothered either way as we have Sneyd, Kelly and Connor ahead of him in the halves and Watts probably our first choice LF next year. Hmm..

Abdull has more chance of first team football with HKR than ourselves and why i think he will sign for them.
We are not running an under 23 team next season so his option would be Doncaster or out on loan to a higher grade club.
The other option would be another season on loan at HKR either way cant see him in back for next season.

Always look a better and more creative team when Connor is on but I thought Fash and Bowden did well last night myself!.

Agree on Bowden for me he is the most improved player at the club. Regularly makes metres and takes an awful lot of effort from the defence to put him down. Again last night he was make no ground going forward.

This is why all Clubs in SL should have their own Reserve grade , and their own Academies.
The game is losing players as they have nowhere to play .
Unfortunately, there are not enough decent sides for a promotion and relegation based system .
That is why it is highly likely that a Franchise system for SL may return for 2019 .

Once the RFL have the teams they want in, it will. Expect Toronto to win the league next season, so long as Catalans are also in then they'll close the door, for good. Still think a KR/FC merger is on the cards, but we'll see. It's not about the fans anymore, it's about £££'s, more than ever.

I spoke to a parent of a player who is 3rd choice in position at a Super League Club . Next season ,unless players ahead of him get injured, his only options are , a loan deal . Or sitting in the stands .
The RFL need to seriously look at the structure of the professional game. Young players are left in the cold . Loaning out players is all well and good, but does that hamper the progression of the lower league Clubs?
At the moment it seems to a bit of "all fur coat and no knickers ".
For me personally, I think we are in a sad state with our COHA .
We should have our own , as should Rovers . The rivalry in our City should be at all levels .

I would hope that Hadley or Abdull take the 13 spot next year leaving Watts and Taylor as starting props and having Bowden & Paea coming off the bench is great impact.

Re: Bench tonight : Sat Sep 16, 2017 1:13 pm  

Abdull will be our 13 next season.
Paea and Hadley will further bolster our pack .

Why, he's a good player, but he's not a 13
