Although he had 3 try assists on Saturday against the world champs so maybe getting his form back at long last

I’d rather Lam & Truey are our pivots next year. Gave Abdul time to get a gym membership and slim down.
Trueman is getting better each week and will be drastically better with a preseason under our belt.
It’s also stupid to strengthen teams around us. Let Hoy go for no reason and he has been fantastic for Cas
Now we’re going to give a team who will currently have to play Mason Lino a much better pivot. All the signings wakey are making Will struggle without a good half partnership. Trueman and Russell will work very well indeed

You cant dictate to players where they play once they've left a club .

I'm confident with Cartwright and Grix, if ge doesn't get fit he won't play, they havevshown they will drop l, loan or even release underfunding or unfit players.
Remember he didn't have a pre season this year, if ge can get fit, thobk he will be a good signing, still setting up tries now in the shape he is.

His deal must come with a fitness clause - he must be looking in the mirror and thinking he doesn't look like a Rugby player. Grix mentioned a few weeks ago that they will be a plan to get Abdull in shape. Can't imagine Cartright being happy with a half back looking like him

In Mylers Q&A today he mentioned that any player who isn't fit when they return for pre season will simply not train until they are at the standards/fitness expected. Hopefully that incentive will motivate the likes of Abdul to return in better shape.

When we signed him maybe but the two injuries may have taken their toll. He doesn't have the running game he used to have at Cas before his injuries. Maybe with an injury free run and good preseason he can get that level.
