not at 6 but he will make a very good left centre if he can keep injury free.
His tackling has also improved a lot since he has been at the club

Who's the "We"?

Well played Jordan great game tonight, just a thought what about him Leon and Marc Sneyd in the starting 13?

Great thinking with the early kick behind the line for shaul with cockayne stuck at marker too. Fonua got someverything good ball and it made a difference

He had a good game, made some good runs too.

I think he needs to improve his awareness of where teammates are (or improve his bossing them around). At times he was standing right on top of another player rather than spreading the line out.

I thought he was definitely better than Pryce in the times that they each played.

Did well, and did all that was asked of him.
Would have been interesting to have seen Carlos play behind that dominant pack tonight as well.

Oh dear.

I say that every time I see one of your posts.

I haven't seen anything of the 23s unfortunately, but for me it looked like more like an application of attitude was missing. He was (and still is) fat. He needed to stop sneaking out to mcdonalds, shift some of it, and get his act together. Looks like that may have started, and hopefully it will pay off.

Has the makings of a really top player.

Described in Yorksire Post as "Assured, controlled and confident alongside the excellent Marc Sneyd".

Decent game from Abdull last night. Looked much fitter than I've seen him before, confident, took the line on, showed up in defence.

For me, despite the 13 on his back, he's an out and out six.

I thought he played pretty well and his fitness looked better than it did last time he played first team for us. He did take the wrong option a few times but you'd expect that with a young player. He's definitely benefitted from his spell at fev but he needs to drop some weight if he's going to make it at the top level long term. Still OOC at the end of teh year isn't he?

For me he gets the 6 shirt in the semi final. Far more physical in defence then Pryce or Tuimavave and that will be needed against Wigan. I thought he was good with the ball too and could be a long term option for our number 6 'problem'

Just glad we entered a team into the 23s. He's a classic example of a player taken out of the first team pressure situation when struggling with fitness and performance level. Although it was a big game last night he brought the confidence he's built from that competition with him and looked far more assured. Well done AP for making the investment - you deserve to reap the rewards.

Can't fault Abdull's performance last night, looks like he has been working hard on his fitness and looks to have lost some of the excess he was carrying at the start of the season.

For me he is a better option at 6 than both Pryce and Tuimavave, looked defensively sound too.

I wished I'd seen this comment pre game. If I had I'd have asked then question "Does a player not deserve a second chance to shine?" He has only played a handful of games and for a player of his age has hardly let the side down in a big way.

Now I have seen this comment after the game, I hope you are big enough to take back this comment.

Abdull contributed significantly in both attack and defense. The only real blot on his copy book was the rank bad kick from 25 yards out in the first half which he was hoping Usain Shaul was going to get on the end of.

But that was just execution, it was a fantastic option and the type of play we dont see normally from Carlos T or Pryce

Whilst it was awfully executed, it's good to know he has the awareness of both the full back being out of position & Shaul making the run, and the confidence to try it.

And in all fairness and to put in to context it was no worse than 2 of Sneyd's for a 12ft Tall & lightening fast Michaels to take (just for the negative doom merchants).

He just put a bit too much on the kick otherwise it would have been a cracking kick and another score, however the fact that he had the confidence and awareness of the situation to go for it is credit to him.

This is how big he is......




He's changed the first post, good job the original has been quoted plenty of times.

Good game from Abdull thoroughly vindicating Radford's decision to play him.

Shocking idiocy from spegs thoroughly vindicating my decision to block him.

It's called irony....

More like total and utter boll0x

Aye. KR were totally bolloxed if that kick had stayed in. Good vision.
