Sounded like Moss got a bad knock.

Just heard that going into work on Blunderside too. Hope it's more of a Blair injury scare. 3 weeks till Carney can play.

My comment was aimed at both Ellis & Abdull.

As for Abdull, I have warmed to him as the season's unfolded but still say he is not instinctively a 6.

I had an interesting chat with some of the ex-Rovers players who were at Fev, with some of them remarking they were surprised Abdull hadn't been switched to loose by now.

To be fair just because somebody's played the game doesn't automatically mean they understand it more than the spectators a good friend of mine played at a high level for 12 years and when we watch a game I still can't believe he got through the 12 years with his lack of knowledge which he admits himself

Fev are still mostly part-time aren't they? Not a great marker laid down for the middle 8's.

Leigh are though and we managed to do ok there

Yes there are a lot of ex players who know there stuff, on Abdul I think he's been consistent it's Ellis who's hit and miss for me

Totally agree with the Ellis statement. He seems to perform when he chooses, he for me is a much bigger concern at 7 that Adbul is at 6.

they were all part time in 83 didn't make any difference then did it?

Wow, did you just refer to a game from 34 years ago to make a connection to a game played yesterday?

Doesn't change the fact that a team that train full-time should be beating a team of part-timers, who had to get up this morning to go to their day jobs.

Seen as all the teams you mention are full-time, that doesn't really apply to the point I'm making. If we'd have dropped points vs a part-time team, then yeh fair point.
