After talking to a few of my pals who are dyed in the wool Rovers fans, they say that Abdull is playing very well. With the yoof stepping up to mark this season we ought to be setting up a team nucleus for the long term (Radders vision all along ??). Jordan has to fit in that plan.

Has Abdull suddenly found the fitness and defensive capabilities to defend down the middle for long stints? Does he have the ability to make the hard yards when called upon in our own half?
Don't get me wrong, attacking in the opponents half, Abdull would slot in perfectly, but he doesn't have all the attributes yet to start at 13 for us the way we play.

Can only see him coming to play second row. Can't see us reverting to a ball playing loose forward anytime soon.
Jury still out for Abdul. He's playing mainly part time opponents. The middle eights will be a better gauge. Just have a feeling we won't see him back.
