It's abdul's job this year at catalans and he isn't doing it. I've seen glimpses in the past that he has the ability but drifts in and out of games too much for me

Probably because he isn't fit, plus all halfbacks drift out of the the game when the forwards don't lay platforms, look at Harrry Smith.

pinning your hopes on the perennially unfit abdul suddenly changing the habits of a lifetime are folly

Hoping him being dropped has given him a kick up the backside.

This is his last chance to really make a mark on the game.

Has done it before at London and first couolrcif years at Rovers, so he can do it.

I would be happy with Sullivan or Milford. Milford actually looks pretty fit at the moment playing for the Capras. Setting up tries, line breaks. He is 30 though, so if he came would it be seen as a last payday? Sullivan is younger, but would he be aching to get back to the NRL after a year or 2

Cartwright would have the inside track on Milford, but could be good option, he is a good runner and experienced.

just hope we dont end up with someone like wakeham,now that would be a disaster

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Fri Aug 16, 2024 11:05 am  

History tells us that we have made many poor half back signings in the SL era and very few good ones. Let's hope we can sign someone who bucks the trend

Still banging on about Abduls weight? He can run around that pitch looking like a Buddha for me, as long as he does the job asked of him. We are such a toxic set of fans it's embarrassing.

Anyhow,,,,, think we'll be looking at milford, he's experienced so can guide the youngsters, capped international so can help sell season passes and not that 'old'

His off field stuff hopefully means he won’t. I’d be not getting a pass if it’s him

i think milford would do well over here,he can be a bit hit and miss in the nrl,but the extra freedom he would get over here would benefit him.pity kodi nikorima has just signed a new contract,he would be great playing over here.
