| Quote bishops finger="bishops finger"When you've got such a small pool of players then the majority of the signings that teams make could be classed as gambles, even those with terrible injury records usually get signed up somewhere, just look at Trueman and Abdul, there will be others too, I personally don't think Micky Mac will play that many for us as his recent injury records not the best.
Regarding Abdul, I think his body isn't used to putting the hard work in, Catalans are known to not train as often as the other teams and it was rumoured that Steve Mac had him on very light training whilst he was over there.
As a Rovers fan looking in at FC's pre season I think you'll obviously be a lot fitter than you was last season, (it'd be pretty hard not to be) which will/should help with your discipline and should help with the blow out scores,
I still honestly believe that you're squad will probably be bottom two, I'm not sure there's enough genuine quality to improve that much, obviously being fitter will mean your more competitive but I don't see enough quality.'"
Fair post, I still think we have better squads than Cas, Hudds and Wakey, but I'm obviously slightly biased. Will come down to injuries, but I'll be disappointed to finish below 10th, think we need and will improve on last season. |

Not sure what other UK based halfback we could have signed instead of Abdul, only Trueman, Russel, Leyland and Abdul have moved clubs haven't they.
Not alot of quality there.
I still think it's a risk worth taking with only 50k (I think) counting on the cap |

Still think Cust could be a good signing. Him and Seizer could be a decent halfback pairing. Not worldbeaters but a steady duo which we have lacked . Plus it could mean Balmforth gets gametime which he probably wouldn't have and may see the club keeping him on ?. As for Abdul we don't know what he's on but not a great start being injured. Hopefully we can get him sorted as still when fit a very good player

We were that poor at halfback last year, Reynolds came in and made a huge difference.
Cust and Seizer are both streets ahead of him, Brown, Smith and Charles (as it stands stands)

It's the value of the contract thats ridiculoous for me. If rumours are true and we're paying him £150k a year for 3 years it's a big chunk of cash. I'm sure we could have got him for a lot less as his options were limited. Rovers didn't want him but he was contracted to them |

| Quote HU8HFC="HU8HFC"Well after been labelled as a low life and unemployed for suggesting Abdull had an injury, it turns out that, unfortunately, the injury to Abdul is worse than originally thought.
For me if there was any indication Abdull needed a clear out of the knee, especially with his track record, the club should’ve put him under the knife ASAP. Looks inevitable that he will miss the start of the year.'"
which year? |

Maybe don't belive the rumours, it's purley guesswork or Rovers fans starting rumours.
Which UK based halfback should we have gone for, we have cap space, but it's hard to get people to sign for us in the position we are in. |

If Abdull is injured it presents a big opportunity to Cust, he was the one signing I was unsure about but the more I thought about it the more sense it made, he's a quality player, still only young and knows what Cartwright expects from his players, I think Cust will be one of our better players this coming season.
It also presents an opportunity for Balmforth to claim a bench spot, it's a big season for him so will need as much game time as possible.
