He is being used as a HB pivot but he seems to like to take the line on so I can see why they are saying he;s been used as a forward..

He's going well in a side that's still finding its feet. Ellis looks the more accomplished HB at the moment but thats to be expected given their relative experience. He looks really good when executing set moves and has good hands, but still has to work on the more off the cuff plays and have better awareness of whats around him. There were a couple of times that with the right ball a player was away but he took on the line instead.

Sheen's certainly seems to like him though so he must have seen something he likes (attitude I would assume) and that's a good sign. Will be able to better judge in 6 or so weeks when he's bedding in better.

Thanks for that. Hope it works out for him at Hull as would be good to keep him in the area. As has been said, it's a great opportunity for all parties.

According to Rovers when the signings were made there was no recall clause in either agreement and the loan deals are for the full season including any middle eight involvemnet. The possibility of a major injury crises at either FC or Hudds is therefore irrelevant. Some on here have questioned the commitment of the two players in they should meet their parent club in the middle eights. I think this is unlikely as I cannot see Hudds being as poor again this season and it should not be a problem for FC. In any case I do not believe either player would give less than their best in any of their games whilst with us.

Fair enough then! Thanks for that. Hopefully it won't come to having to put themselves in that position, as you have said.

He's put in 2 pretty half decent performances so far for us in the league.

He's been creative, his passing and link up play has been sharp and he likes to take on the line often to good effect, especially against London.

Defensively he has been sound after his sub par showing in preseason at Leeds.

He needs to improve his kicking game as his high bombs have so far not caused any issues for the opposition and he needs eliminate his try line fever and to be less selfish after a clean break when there have been better passing options to support players.

Definitely a keeper for us on his performances to date.

Sounded like a hard fought win in tough conditions.

He wasn't on his own in terms of errors, needs to learn to play what's in front of him and adapt to the conditions and not just go ahead with a set play. Poor performance by the team yesterday.

Had another decent game today,also brings something to the party in defence also.

The wind was so strong today that on one Oldham kick off they caught the ball direct from their kick off in their own half, now I thought it was just football that the flight of the ball is always live and in rugby it's the landing , I'd ask on our board folks but it's tumbleweed these days.

irrc a game we played a couple of seasons ago, cant remember the oppostion, the wind was so strong that when we kicked off from a restart, the ball went past the 10m but the wind held it up and we regathered, the ball doesnt have to land just as long as it passes the 10m mark

Re: Abdull Watch : Sun Feb 26, 2017 7:31 pm

Should have been MOM today scored a good try and is like having another forward needs to work on his kicking though
