Think it's harsh on Martin if he's not been rewarded with the 2 or 5 shirt next season. Suppose it's only a number.....

Definitely! Thought he was one of the few stand outs last season. To come in at such a young age and play most of the season whilst never really looking out of place is a real credit to him. Be very surprised if he doesn't finish the season as a first choice winger, even if he doesn't start that way.

Too much is made of squad numbers by supporters imo.

Personally I think squad numbers have had their day and we should revert to numbering players 1 to 17 for each game.

Think it works much better in the NRL?

I agree with this too. I much prefer positional numbers on shirts. Squad numbers have done little to add to either player identity or revenue streams.

Hard as nails is Carty

Watched that's video and can't see Abdul at all. Can see ashworth who looks a bit like him but no abdul

Good to see most of the overseas players here already tho

on FCs' insta story reel

Good to see Abdul has lost some weight, positive it's all his own doing and hopefully another couple of months working and supported by the backroom staff will get his even fitter.

As Seb says good to see 4 overseas players there, expect Rapana and seizer soon.

Agree with all previous posts, Abdull looks to have trimmed up well. Seemingly still a bit for him to lose but he's got another 3 months working hard on that.

Think Balmforth looks to have really trimmed up aswell. Think he really needs to find the right balance. He doesn't want to trim too much as his size last year was vital in him pushing over the line at times, but a bit of weight loss will help with his movement in defence and also speed out of dummy half. Could be a massive year for the lad.

Might of just missed him but i didn't see Brad Fash in any of the photos/videos
