Cust and Sezer then [url:1v8jlpnz]https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/jordan-abdull-injury-update-worst-9835883[/url:1v8jlpnz]

Who'd have thought that the injury prone abdul would be injured again? Is this the same knee injury that has plagued him in recent years? Who the hell signed off a marquee contract for him? We all know that in a month or two we'll be getting him operated on. It should have been done when it happened

Not ideal, but good to have Cust, better than Smith and Brown at halfback.

Rovers and Catalans refused to get his knee cleaned out as he was off. Not sure why we've chosen not to get it sorted though.

I doubt Abdul will see out a year at hull never mind three.

[quote="Jake the Peg":3bsh7hty]Laughing his teets off then on a 3 year marquee contract. Madness[/quote:3bsh7hty] Does it matter if he's marquee? All it does it keep his cap value lower, especially if he's our home grown marquee

[quote="mwindass":30rqz0or]Does it matter if he's marquee? All it does it keep his cap value lower, especially if he's our home grown marquee[/quote:30rqz0or] but a three year contract does just like the other average Joes on 2/3 year deals

[quote="bonaire":122zw8pm]but a three year contract does just like the other average Joes on 2/3 year deals[/quote:122zw8pm] Depends on what the 'average joes' are on doesn't it? We've obviously got spare cap space for this season with us signing Salabio and ready to sign Cross if/when Salford go belly up.

If we had a team full of "average Joes" wouldn't we finish mid-table..?

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":bxsgvteh]If we had a team full of "average Joes" wouldn't we finish mid-table..?[/quote:bxsgvteh] A team full of FC Joe's would be a great off season thread. 1 2 3 Joe Arundel 4 5 6 7 8 9 Joe Lovodua 10 11 Joe Cator 12 13 Joe Westerman I'm struggling after that.....

Yep Sezer and Cust as half's for start of the season. My optimism for the new season has just taken a knock.

Oh boy things are quiet!!!! I can recall just 9 more Joe's who played for us and that just about gives us a team, although a lot would have to play out of position!!!!. I think looking at the stuff I have its difficult to furnish a full FC team with joes. Of course there was Joe Brown loose forward or half back, the famous Joe Oliver full back and we also had a Joe Ramsden a second row who played for us in 1942 on loan from rovers because they didn't run a war time team. More recently there was Joe Bullock who played two games on loan from Salford for us. Joe Hamill was a prop in the 1914/15 season There was also a Joe 'Cloggy Clarke' but about him I know nothing Then stretching it a bit, there's young Joe Thompson Joe Ward and Joe Turner who play for our current academy

[quote="Oafy":tgsy2jgr]Rovers got rid because he turned up preseason massively over weight, he then had hamstring issues at Catalan[/quote:tgsy2jgr] He needed his knee cleaning out last season.

[quote="mwindass":35ub14pu]He needed his knee cleaning out last season.[/quote:35ub14pu] Why sign him if he needed a knee op then? And wait until now to address it?

[quote="Oafy":1d2eie0i]Why sign him if he needed a knee op then? And wait until now to address it?[/quote:1d2eie0i] Why did Rovers sign Ryan Hall off the back of 2 ACL injuries? I've said we probably should've got it looked at at the start of pre season, but ideally it would've been looked at last season. Catalans and Rovers refused to pay for an op to get his knee cleaned out as he was moving on

Massive danger with signing players over 30 ! Adam must be interested as over 30s signings have plagued him in the past Abdull - didn’t we MRI the guy ? Why wait for an op ? Do it now ! He can’t play unfit needing surgery

Sounds like the rumours about Balmfotth not impressing in training are false, one positive of Abdul, is a chance for Cust and Seizer to play together, I'd just operate on Abdul and let those two form a partnership, with Kemp as back up. Excited to see Balmforth off the bench, which I don't think would have happened if Abdul was fit

Seems you’re just trying to pass the blame onto other clubs

Well after been labelled as a low life and unemployed for suggesting Abdull had an injury, it turns out that, unfortunately, the injury to Abdul is worse than originally thought. For me if there was any indication Abdull needed a clear out of the knee, especially with his track record, the club should’ve put him under the knife ASAP. Looks inevitable that he will miss the start of the year.
