Needs to lose some weight then this wouldn't happen. Great talent but potential to throw it all away if he doesn't sort out his weight.

regarding abdull he was blowing out his arris after 10 min but to be fair to the kid he had a good second half , if he could just get fit he might be a good player, all across the board we where poor, I half expected it and to be fair it must have taken a lot of juice out of the tank last week, defo think Hadley derserves a run out and offers more than Thompson atm, and think taylor could do with a rest if watts is fit, big game against widnes coming up and on the flip side we still top of the league

Absolutely. No 20-year-old pro sportsman should be in his condition.

Cas fan here, think fatigue after the semi must have come into it but I was a bit surprised how easily we seemed to keep your forwards quiet.
I am one of Sneyds biggest fans but I was surprised how negative his kicking game was at the start of the 2nd half. It was as if you were 20 points up and he was trying to close the game out rather than trying attacking kicks.
Finally do you have any alternative to Yeamo? the only time he looks interested now is if he has a chance of scoring.

If we could just get hold of some of that grease that Cas had on their shirts!!

Jordan Abdul is basically a poor man's jamie ellis and that is not good in any way shape or form. Also, Jordan thompson, weak link. That said , good luck for the rest of the season and Wembley.

Well beaten offensively in the first half and it was far to much a lead to claw back . I thought our forwards were well beaten .

Cas were great and Powell had a cracking game plan which they stuck too, fair play to them. The two week break will have helped too. We'll bounce back.

Abdull should not be 6 ahead of Leon or Carlos and last night and Salford away proved that he's too big and his defence is poor. He's a good third choice 6

Agree on both these Thompson not done it for me and would be behind Green and Bowden.

Has anyone mentioned the boos at half time yet? I guessed they was directed towards to ref. But how do the players know that? Can't be good for moral.

Where is Leon Pryce ?
He should have played last night . Abdul and Carlos looked very weak on our right hand side .
I hope we have a quality standoff lined up for 2017 .

It would be great to have a top stand off next year, but it isn't happening.

We seem to have managed fine this year with the stand offs we have used, top and a cup final and we look stronger next year as a squad.

People who are surprised he was in, obviously don't watch the reserves, has been outstanding and deserves his chance, otherwise there is no point in having a reserve team.

Need to get him signed up on a long term deal, so much class.

Can't quite decide can you?

Not really its obvious if you have a brain, great potential and deserved his chance, but hasn't taken it and let's himself down with his weight, I'd still sign him up but he ready needs to work hard on his weight.

It's called a balanced view, maybe too hard for you to understand?

This all smacks of the Widnes debacle. The team as a whole were poor, Houghton and Ellis bumped off in tackles, unbelievable, this season but Abdul gets put through the wringer. Maybe I'm wrong but the KID has a huge frame, so has body to suit, if the club thought he was overwieght they would be taking steps. I don't see this happening? I hope the same knee jerk reaction from the management doesn' happen. Where do all these stories about burgers etc. come from. Some so called fans should be ashamed of themselves. George Williams isn't svelt!!!!!!

Appreciate the insult. It doesn't add any credibility to your point by the way. "Balanced view"?...ok. "Potential" is possibly the most cliched term in sport and is often used to masquerade other failings. He has chosen his lifestyle and thus will end up in the lower leagues before disappearing like many other players with "potential". Thackeray, Bell, Divorty et al.

You deservef it, as you tried to make me look silly by dragging up an old post, but it didn't work.

You have no credibility on here and you admitted the other week you only post on here to wind people up.

I hope you are wrong on the last few lines (although you could be right) reminds me of Cooke who struggled with his defence in his early career, will have to wait and see what happens, it will be a massive regret in his life if lets himself down.

Some interesting points here. I thought Houghton and Ellis, along with Minichello played with the same intensity they do most weeks. In fact Mini seemed to sense the team needed a lift and did his best to take them with him. The Cas players appeared to be pulling back at the point of contact to have a second effort. This was I presume a deliberate tactic to take advantage of Hull's fatigue after the semi. Abdul on the other hand was clearly outdone by his excess weight and lack of agility. The kid could no doubt be a star but he has to take more care of himself and have a more professional approach to his conditioning. George Williams is a good comparison actually because he is everything that Abdul could and should be and Jake Connor probably will be next year. I think the ball is firmly in Abdul's court. Just my tilt on it of course.

Disagree. Michael "bully boy" Smith is a similar build to Abdul and is currently 8th in the PDC rankings. He seems to do ok.

I agree about Abdull it's just so frustrating. A kid of his age who's been training full time for a couple of years should not have a physique that. He needs to realise how much talent he's got and that he could go on to be a top class player if he sorts himself out. One thing I will add though is that he seems to cop more criticism than others who played just as poorly like he did against Widnes earlier this season.

He's grossly overweight, and was the same at the beginning of last season.
Abdull could be a star, but somethings not right.
He's out of contract at the end of the season, and there's hasn't been the slightest hint of what might be happening with him.
Maybe the club have a 1 year option in their favour??

The problem with your argument is Abduls weight is round his belly.He needs to lose the fat belly and possibly a stone in weight and start some speed training as he is too slow.
Williams on the other hand is all muscle power plus he has pace.
