Evalds played less than 50% on games in his 3 seasons at Cas. In fact he played less games that Abdul in those seasons.
Hall hardly played for 2 years, so was a massive risk.
You don't like Hull and Abdul, all of your information on Abdul and his attitude who wants him and how.much we are paying him is pure guesswork, unless you have some evidence?
how many games do you see abdull playing this year ?
ahh just seen, in the super league era Robbie Paul, Gary Connolly, Kevin Sinfield, Niall Evalds and Chris McQueen
i stand corrected
There have been twelve Lance Todd Trophy winners who were on the losing side, not the one which you originally claimed. You see it's always worth checking before posting so as to avoid looking a fool.
When you've got such a small pool of players then the majority of the signings that teams make could be classed as gambles, even those with terrible injury records usually get signed up somewhere, just look at Trueman and Abdul, there will be others too, I personally don't think Micky Mac will play that many for us as his recent injury records not the best. Regarding Abdul, I think his body isn't used to putting the hard work in, Catalans are known to not train as often as the other teams and it was rumoured that Steve Mac had him on very light training whilst he was over there. As a Rovers fan looking in at FC's pre season I think you'll obviously be a lot fitter than you was last season, (it'd be pretty hard not to be) which will/should help with your discipline and should help with the blow out scores, I still honestly believe that you're squad will probably be bottom two, I'm not sure there's enough genuine quality to improve that much, obviously being fitter will mean your more competitive but I don't see enough quality.

Fair post, I still think we have better squads than Cas, Hudds and Wakey, but I'm obviously slightly biased. Will come down to injuries, but I'll be disappointed to finish below 10th, think we need and will improve on last season.
Still think Cust could be a good signing. Him and Seizer could be a decent halfback pairing. Not worldbeaters but a steady duo which we have lacked . Plus it could mean Balmforth gets gametime which he probably wouldn't have and may see the club keeping him on ?. As for Abdul we don't know what he's on but not a great start being injured. Hopefully we can get him sorted as still when fit a very good player
