I said a year in the end and was correct, the fact that despite being younger he made his debut a year early which against proves by point that he has been given more a chance at Hull than Rovers.

So far in his career he has been involved in big games including play offs and part of the challenge cup winning squad, also last year when not in the first team, he was playing games for the reserves, what would he have done at Rovers?

I think he has made the right decision, he is OOC for next year, so he has a choice of going on loan or leaving, let's see what he does.

When Hudgell said we wouldn't be signing anyone from Hull i suppose he meant on loan I think if Abdull does come I have a feeling it maybe a permanent deal to me when I've seen him play like against us he was very good but was terrible playing for Fev in the summer bash

The Abdull situation is a perfect example of the growing problem in SL. Both Warrington & Wigan, due to injury, brought young half backs into their first team squads for extended periods.
In my opinion both players had excellent games when they dictated the play and other matches when they couldn't pick a pass or find touch with a kick.
But the fear of failure and not making the 8 means instead of persevering with these potential stars of tomorrow, it,s back to the under 23's and another second rate Aussie is brought in on an inflated contract.
Until someone is brave enough to buck the trend, this country will struggle to produce home grown half's in numbers we require.

On considering all angles he probably made the best decison at the time. If he was to sign for Rovers and become a 1st team regular over a few seasons then we may revisit this conversation one day. Marsh however was also involved in the same Challenge cup experience for Rovers in 2015 as Abdul in 2016 the difference is you got to the final and won and we got to the final and got thrashed, Actually on thinking about it he may have had more chance of appearing in the final for Rovers in 2015 then he did at Hull this year.

Has Hudge said that about the coming season?

When he was interviewed on humberside a couple of days after the Salford defeat the question was put to him whether he would take players from Hull on loan and he dismissed it but given time to think about it might have changed his mind after all we'd be stupid not to look at all options

Totally agree, it could work out for the best for both clubs and I'd be shocked if you don't sign Lancaster if we release him as rumoured.

Could be a couple of others you could sign if you get injuries like Thompson, Hadley, Fash, Naughton etc.

Even though it's been amusing you going down, long term it's better for the game if you are back up again, hopefully in place of Salford.

Watched NZ v aus rugby union earlier 2nd half NZ in 2nd half were immense much prefer watching league but played union when younger.watched England v France and wasn't inspired by our lads.got me thinking if it would be worth going for a half back from union as their skillset even at lower level seems superior to English league counterparts.Maybe a veteran or reserve player as a punt?
