You think we’d let him go free to you lot? The exchange is happening. Myler doesn’t have a clue.

Charles at rovers as back up to Tyrone and Lewis for 2025 nailed on.

If he is goes to Rovers will be be at Cas by May 2025.

Rovers need Abdul off cap after you gave him a big 3 year deal last June.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue May 14, 2024 5:56 am  

I think that’s why they’re spooked. Myler does actually have a clue.

Would expect Rovers to demand a fee but it may not be as high as people expect. They need him off their cap

I think it might involve a swap deal for Litten, appartley signed a new deal at Hull, but just don't see where he fits in.

If Abdul went back to the Dobbins it would cause them no end of issues salary cap wise.

Agree about Litten. Not sure where he fits in. Moy brings more pace at full back and we’ve got Dawson/Westerman at centre and Barron/Martin on the wing.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue May 14, 2024 6:49 am  

Don't think Rovers need Litten

Wingers Burgess, Hall/Davies, Evalds, Broadbent

Centres Hiku, Opacic, Gildart, Broadbent

Fullback Evalds, Hiku, Broadbent

I'm sure I've missed some options off too

Think if they didn't sign Broadbent it could be a possibility but I don't see hum getting a game

Heard a little rumour that Opacic might go back.

Oficially they have Corey Hall too, but can't see him being there next season.

He maybe under contract, but Rovers seem keen to relieve themselves of his deal and the cap he takes up so it would be very surprising if they are offering him to other clubs to then ask for a fee.

I'd also say that relations between the two clubs seem to be quite good at the moment. The Reynolds loan along with Aydin's inital loan and eventual permanent switch as part of an exchange with Brown are examples of this. The HDM article says that Rovers have given us permission to talk to Abdull and won't stand in his way if he wants to make the move. There was definitely times in the past when neither club would have allowed this.

As for Charles, that same HDM article says that the club see him as our long term future and plan on Abdull being a mentor for him. So pretty much the exact opposite of a swap deal. This is just mischief making from teddypicker.

I personally would hope we'd get a fee for Abdull but I reckon we will let him go for nothing, I'd also assume you aren't the only club in for him so will have to throw some money at him to secure his signing. You can use the marquee £50k loophole but then you'd have your 3 marquee spots taken up by Abdull, Asiata and Trueman. Hell of a lot of risk there with all 3 not having great injury records, maybe a risk you have to take.
