He's played some games at 6 more recently but I think he looks more comfortable playing loose forward. The kid has huge potential
No doubting that long term he'll be a 13, but I don't see the need to play him there just yet. He doesn't have the fitness to make 50 tackles a game like our current 13 does. Westerman was outstanding in that 2nd half at Saints, Abdull isn't capable of putting in those kind of performances, yet.
If I was Leon Pryce i'd be worried about my 6 shirt next year with how Abdull has conducted himself in his absence. That said, he's still young and will have games when things don't go so well, it's then Radford needs to know when to take him out of the firing line.
