Abdull apparently told fans over in Catalan that he has a target weight for the start of pre season and has a personal trainer all sorted and knows what he needs to get to, so lets see if he gets to that.

As for some of the other players - Cust, Holmes, Bourouh, their lack of games will hopefully help them be fit and healthy leading into pre season with us

Was abdul filling his face with pizza at the time? It doesn't look like he's made much progress yet although hard to know as he's been dropped for the last 3 games

Some people are a bit fixated with Jordan Abdull's weight.

Only because it aff3cts his performances on the pitch. Binned by rovers, not getting a game at catalans. Should we ignore the obvious?

I just don't see the point in banging on about it. He's always had that body shape and has had a pretty decent career. Rovers supporters loved him until he left. He'll improve us and is a smart use of cap money.

If there are any fitness concerns then the club will work on that with him.

Cannot see it happening, I think we need to get over that idea.

His wife is due to give birth in December and going by their social media they are loving life over there with their friends and families. Why would they want the upheaval of a third major move in three years. He has no emotional attachment to Hull either.

He’s a North Queensland lad and obviously signed as a back up, by all accounts he’s done alright when called upon and the Cowboys are losing Townsend so logic says they’ll agree a new deal, almost seems too strange that haven’t yet.

The longer he goes without a deal you’d have to think he’d be more tempted if there is an offer on the table from Hull. I don’t think he was as desperate to get away as made out, re-joining the Cowboys was too good an offer for his personal circumstances, if he can’t get a resolution in Townsville again then it could be a goer. More likely than Lam ever was IMO.

Reading some of the comments
I can see why cam Scott used the words toxic fan base.
Lane, Scott, Fash all getting slated too.
It’s tediously childish.

When a club of our stature has won 3 of our last 28 league matches, on top of multiple losing streaks, I think it’s pretty reasonable for fans to be a bit miffed.

He's never been as fat as he is now and it's clearly affecting his performances. Shows a complete disregard for his employer and his team mates

It's not exclusively our fan base. But I agree it sometimes goes too far.
