He has played well but given lots of room by Widnes.Just not consistent enough to be considered for regular first team football.
I have said it several times but if he can lose the weight,vastly improve his fitness level and put in some speed training then we will have player for the future if indeed the club give him a contract extension.

Well done Jordan m.o.m tonight. Played himself in to the Wembley line-up?

Abdul, take a bow, proved me wrong. Defended well, took the line on, controlled the game, converted the goals and found space with the kicks.

Good two points for Hull tonight. Not classy but great to nil a team away from home.

All OK fitness wise too?

Hope sika and ellis are ok,both seem to pick up knocks?

Well played Jordan Abdull. You "took some bad options in pre season"??? Well learn from it, you've got talent but talent won't take you to the top, mental strength will (see Gareth Ellis).
As a foot note, my word Stevo, I can't wait until we play well. Awesome "D" and some nice try's with some great go forward.COYH

Really pleased about the win tonight but appalled at most of the Sky commentary team. Apart from O'Connor crediting the defence the rest would give us no praise at all. Before the game they seemed to be suggesting that a loss tonight and we would be virtually out of the top four. We have been at the top of the table for, what, half the season and had an off night last week after a tough semi final and get so little credit for it. There were lots of errors but the only other side to have nilled Widnes this season are Wigan by 7 so it looks like the league table is a pretty accurate reflection.
Abdul played very well but I thought Hadley was the only forward who ran on to the ball at pace. We need to see more from Frank; I don't think Radford has worked out how to make best use of him yet.

Hadley imo derserves a run in the team, he brings a good running game and tackles well, thought our bench looked good tonight

Made me proper LOL, but that'll be stuck in my head for days now. Damn you to hell!!!

Did what we needed to do, nilled them, a few good tries in there too. Important win.

Phil Clarke must be getting worried now, still insisting we'll fade away

Still (hoping) we fade away is Phil Clark,he's that biased to Wigan he makes himself look foolish

Fifteen league and cup games away from the KCOM so far this season, twelve wins.

Suprise suprise.

i think he needs to lose a little weight but only a little. Pace, wont be required he has guile and a brain and also power with his bulk.

why surprise, its true,

In place of who then?

Hadley has varied from solid to class every time he's had a shot this season, nothing seems to shake him and he just gets up and keeps going. Ellis influence I reckon.

Best half back we've had in Super League IMO was Paul Cooke, he was no spring chicken.

And seen as he now lives in north duffield near selby no dramas

Pace is essential in defense though. Castleford exposed this weakness last week. Widnes were a very weak side.

The Widnes bananaskin I saw was just a mirage. The Cream were a well oiled machine tonight. Everyone played well. Abdull took his chance very well.

Thought Widnes were a threat for first 10 or 15 mins. Just shows the importance of strong line defence when the game is tight.

We're back on the horse.

"You have got talent but talent will not take you to the top" This lad has enough talent and mental toughness to take him a long way in this game.To give a display like he did after so much flack he showed he has the makings of a great player.What did Carlos do last night? Abdul was the dominant half by a country mile, he created more and threatened the line more. The difference las night was the forwards ,Taylor ,Bowden and green made more metres than the full pack did against Cas and Abdul made the most of it. Radford has to take some credit ,he got his selection right and used his interchanges well, he has some big decisions to make, some great performances from Hadley ,Green and Bowden who looked fresh and aggressive .

Hello Jordan and welcome to the forums.

They're right though. Abdull outplayed Carlos last night. The play to beat 4/5 defenders for his try was top class, just imagine what he could do if he was a couple of stone lighter and as fit as he should be.

Carlos just isn't doing it for me. He seems to labour with the ball for too long, either putting too much pressure on the man receiving his pass, or he takes so long he has to take the line on. It doesn't look like he sets any plays up before he gets the ball, which is fine if you're Rangi Chase and everyone around you is on your wavelength.
