Should be simple enough to fill in the gaps...

IF Abdul is going to be a marquee player on a minimum 2 year deal then god help us !!!

Notorious for his poor training attitude & inability to keep himself in good shape.

We had the best of him ( except for when his kicking game for KR destroyed us at MKM ) why did we let him go ? 'He likes his kebabs...... Jordan Abdul he likes his kebabs'. His best days are behind him - KR & Catalans are testimony to that - why do people think we can wave a majic wand, and transform him, all the evidence is we take average players & make them worse.

Mentoring ?? Come on - which of our truly promising youngsters have we signed up long term, Davy Litten & Denive Balmforth were the big hopes for this year, neither can break into the team which is about to set new records for losing.

Could accept JA as a squad player who can play 13 but really ? He will be nowhere near marquee money now & he has NOT pushed on, if AP still signing the cheques he hasn't learned the errors of the last two seasons.

Surely Marquee should mean someone who is international quality ?

George Williams, Tom Burgess, Eliot Whitehead for example.

Looks like we will continue having no representatives in Internationals or even train on squads.

He's not gonna take a pay cut so that would mean his £175k (min) going in full on the cap instead of £100k as now...and then shell out for another marquee? Lose/lose.

I don't think Adam has come into possession of a money printing machine and gambling others money for no end result generally ends in tears.

Pearson and Myler have got this all wrong from the get go.
