I'm not sure that even in his trimmer form JA is an 80 minute half back. His better attacking performances for Hull have often been coming off the bench and taking on the line after the arm wrestle stage. Defensively he struggles late in games. Being fit for Super league is a lot different from the Championship and I wonder if he has engine for the higher level, no matter how hard he trains. Some players (indeed most people) just don't have it.

As back up halves go we have Connor, an England International at 23 and Abdull at 22. I can see why a fuss would be made if Connor had asked to leave.

I spent a couple of hours with Abdull at the end of last season - he'd loved his time at KR, he was playing in his preferred position of half back and his girlfriends family were all KR and they all enjoyed supporting him playing in their team. At that time he was unsure what the future held other than Radford wasnt letting him leave though from what he said i think he wanted to stay at KR then and not come back to FC to be a bit part player. At KR hes almost a big fish in a small pond, at FC its the other way round

Let him go with no hard feelings imo. Lets not do what KR did with Taylor and block him from coming here. Were better than that

I spent a couple of hours with Abdull at the end of last season.

Are you a journalist?

he is not coming to kr and when he played last year in the championship he was ok that's all ok radford obviously judged he was better than that but found out he isn't his mess your player end of story

James Smailes on RH was confident he won't be going to Rovers.

How’s about this then regarding Abdull:

He injured his leg earlier this season yes? He washed back into the squad and was asked/pretty much begged to play whilst loaded with painkillers and steroids so they didn’t have to give a younger player a chance. Yes he played, guess what?? He injured the same leg again. Have you all realised that he doesn’t run the ball in recently? Does it not say, maybe it’s a confidence issue since he injured his leg. Did he get any thanks from the l in for him playing when he was still injured. Something g raddled loves too do. Prefers to play a 70% fit regular rather than a 100% fit academy player who has the desire to impress.

Abdull handed in a transfer request 4 weeks ago due to Lee Redford falling short of promises. Abdull wanted to stay at KR last season, he was fitter, stronger, being coached better and felt more wanted there. Radford wouldn’t allow him to leave and said you’ll at least play 15 games this season starting at half back? Can anyone tell me this has happened? Clearly the club are just using him? No wonder he wants out.

Then Pearson says “if he wants out, I’ll pay his taxi” fair enough AP, but then you can’t demand £100K the next day for him. If you want a player to leave then let him leave at any cost. Clearly AP doesn’t want him to leave as he knows most clubs won’t show faith in a 22 year old HB/LF who hasn’t played/started many super league games for 100k.

Rovers definately not purchasing him. Some Australian Clubs are interested along with Toulouse and Catalans.

You need to take more water with it!!

You're clearly not. You haven't let him leave as you report in your post. Even better you post your record defeat and your chairman throws him to the 'sharks' the next day.
He's welcome in our little pond anytime. In it he won't have to swim around for 3 months looking for his next win.

Harris has though hasn't he....oh wait. Heard he's been called into the national touch rugby side though. Could be his level.

Two words ... beaten pack

Welcome back BF. You have made more contributions to this forum in recent weeks than you did in 2016 and 2017. Purely coincidental I'm sure.

At least our recent poor form has coincided with internet access being restored to parts of East Hull.
I’m sure the Dobbins don’t rate Harris as he spurned them. I’d take him over Abdul though.
I also love it when the Dobbins bleat on about how badly Abdul has been treated, and how they looked after him in their semi pro season.
They have previous in mistreating players, and soon dump anyone who’s no longer of use to them.
Just hope we can start winning again and their WiFi will soon be going back off.
