He's alright, should rovers get promoted I'd like to see him stay with us but like several have said on this thread already, I think his long term future possibly is as a ball handling 13 rather then a half back.

What I think is positive is that, whether at Hull or KR - im pretty certain he'll be getting regular SL game time next season and that a year in the championship working under Tim Sheens will, long term, be a great benefit to him

Hull FC fans - would it at all be possible that, should KR get promoted, he could end up back at Rovers for another season long loan possibly?

He has signed a contract extension he did it months ago they just announced it late. Only last week peope I spoke to at our Club were openly talking about him coming back but that he might end up a 13.

yesterdays full game is on that there video site if you can stomach watching rovers to see how he's going.

Was there an interview with Radford on Humberside about this?
Caught the tail end of something pre match Friday. It sounded like it was about Abdul.

Yes, but what do they know?

well there is that!

An FC fan on FB said he spoke to JA himself who said he hadn't signed an extension.
Either way unless Radford dramatically changes how we play then how are we going to accomodate a ball handling 13 next year?

I do find it strange that there hasn't been one comment from Abdul about signing a new deal, I have never ever known a player sign a new contract and not make a quote.

I think there is more to this story

but he hasn't said he hasn't signed one, suppose its difficult playing for your arch enemy and come out mid season and say how much hes looking forward to coming back to fc, just a thought

Lad is/was in an unusually delicate position. Trying to sound suitably enthusiastic about his longer term future at Hull while not saying anything that might sound like he's less than 100% committed to Rovers in 2017, would be a fine line.

It'd be doable, and he seemed pretty articulate in the couple of interviews he's given to Hull KR tv. But why take the risk? it doesn't take much for some people to take umbrage. And an innocuous middle ground line risks annoying the easily-annoyed on both sides.

The fact that official confirmation came shortly after he said something mildly equivocal about his future looked like Hull marking their territory - and fair enough, you are his parent club. But it just shows how difficult it is for him to safely say anything.
