This is the same as when I hear x amount of fans screaming "tackle him then, don't just watch him" while a player is running across the line going absolutely nowhere yet people want one of ours to run out the line. What is the point? The attacked is going no where, we're keeping our defence intact. So why do people feel the need to want one player to run out the line? Shows how many people don't understand the game it's laughable, abit like this post.
"You don't have to be great to start, but to be great you have to start".
He did very well tonight, strong in defence and showed some nice touches in attack. A good option alongside Sneyd and Houghton, and I think he gelled more with them than Carlos has when he's played 6.
Sorry to bring up the same point that always gets raised when discussing Abdull, but he is definitely carrying a bit too much weight for a 6. He's not sluggish, but I reckon a few kilos off his weight and an improved level of fitness would take his game to a level where he could be our 6 full time.
Thought he showed up well. I just wish he would sort out his fitness levels and lose some (a lot) of weight. He could be a real star if he put his mind to it. I wonder why he hasn't, maybe spegs knows, or maybe not.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

I'll be honest, before the game I was disappointed he was in the starting 13.
However he seems to have shifted some timber and he had a great game. Fonua should have caught the ball out from Abdo in the first half which would have killed the game off. Kicking was good too. Great effort from him.

You know the old saying. If it looks like a tit and posts like a tit, then its obviously a TIT.

People who are surprised he was in, obviously don't watch the reserves, has been outstanding and deserves his chance, otherwise there is no point in having a reserve team.
Need to get him signed up on a long term deal, so much class.
Without doubt he has got the talent to be a top player. Some fans wrote him off after the Widnes game. The kid is only 20 ffs!!! he plays with maturity and confidence beyond his years.
