Abdul would be a great signing, as it stands I'd have him in my Hull 17, not sure about him and Marsh though as both very inexperienced.

Given a run of games, he could become a great SL player.

I've only seen him a handful of times and he's varied from outstanding to outstandingly bad, always wondered about his commitment to the cause as surely a young kid would look more in shape.

Like wise I've not seen an awful lot of him, thought he went fairly well against us last year.

I don't understand why he's not a ball playing second row, I'd be (genuinely!) interested in Hull fans thoughts.

I'm sure this won't be the popular opinion but I'd have him, preferably on a permanent deal but a full season loan would still work for all parties. I rate him, he just needs to get an asbo from Greggs and he would go well.

Re: Players next year : Fri Oct 21, 2016 12:05 pm  

whilst at Doncaster last season he struggled with the physical side of games and it took quite a time for him to adapt.
He's a year old so maybe it won't be such a problem but I would rather see someone with a few more years under their belt to steer us around the park.

After Abdul jumped ship from our academy to move to Hull, I wouldnt be too quick to want to see him return to us even if it's only for a year.

Defence isn't good enough yet.

Really, he was a 15 year old kid, he made what he thought was the right choice at the time and at the moment it seems like the right one.

Donaldson just signed up.

Meh.

Stood next to Abdul on Thursday evening and he is a big lad, no sign of the fat some mocked him for.

He actually made his debut for Hull FC in March 2013 when he was 17. Whether he'd made the right choice is still open for discussion.
