won't do us a lot of good if he doesn't meet them though. He clearly has no personal discipline when it comes to eating

He's been overweight to varying degrees throughout his career. He'll be 29 next season and has never addressed it in fact this season he looks even worse. Unless the personal trainer is with him 24hrs a day it's not going to make any difference. There's no doubt he is a talented player but is he worth the risk.

I'd say no if he's our main half backnsigning, particularly if trueman goes. Abdul and cust give me no confidence at all. Well be lucky if they play half a dozen games together

Abdull been given a weight target to be at for start of pre season, personal trainer sorted for him too. Got to be clauses built into his contract relating to fitness levels

I get a feeling that Cartwright will either get him in shape or he’ll once again be shipped out.
I’d like to think that Abdul is fully aware of what is and isn’t expected re his weight & fitness and the club will have already spoken to him about it when pre and post his signing.

Problem there is if he's shipped out, it'll be another season of disruption as we're missing a marquee player and key pivot. Given the failures of this season, next season will be a make or break season for the club, many fans are deciding to give the club another chance with a seemingly new start under Cartwright and Myler, but get it wrong with releasing players early into the season again and the knock on effect that has on results on the pitch and many fans may walk away for good

Don’t know why but when I read your posts, they remind me of the the famous Hawaii 50-0 final.

I get what you’re saying and agree to some degree but I’d like to think that the club have put some onus on Jordan himself in his contract that if he doesn’t meet the fitness & weight required by the club as a pro player then he faces penalties or cancellation of contract with no payout etc.
I’d also like to think that Jordan himself knows it’s pretty much last chance saloon too so will be determined to turn up to the start of pre season in shape. Think Cartwright will certainly have the right approach in keeping players disciplined in term of what they have to do and standards that are to be expected annd achieved each and every day etc.

If you guys can persuade Wakefield to take Trueman and his marquee wages off your hands that would be a big plus on your part.

You would then be able to offer more than anyone else would for Lam.

We probably have already offered more than anyone for Lam but would he leave his dad and a pretty good team who are levels above us at the minute, if we can sell him a rebuild around him and a show him major ambition then maybe but I can't see him leaving Leigh anytime soon.

You have and Lam has accepted. Over a 4 year deal it is life changing money for a Rugby League player too good to turn down.

However Hull must get rid of Trueman to make it happen.
