Wouldn't want Abdul or Schneider, Abdul too injury prone and i've seen nothing from Schneider, other that his 2 golden point drop goals he's been anonymous in the games i've seen.

Schneider could be a good signing, he's a goal kicker, raiders fans seemed disappointed he'd left the club, he's already moved over to Hull, also 3 out of the 4 games he's played in have been very close games and he's kicked the winning drop goal in 2 of them.

Wouldn't want Abdul personally. Spends at least half the year on the sidelines and openly admitted he hates Hull, so couldn't see him wanting to come back anyways.

Makes you wonder if Abdul's injury problems are linked to his weight.

He probably is naturally a big bloke but no half back should be carrying that amount of weight.

If Hiku has been brought in as FB. Lewis will definitely play in the halfs with May where does that leave Abdul? Maybe put May in at centre with Gildart because Opacic is bang average.

20/30 years ago he could have played the role of a ball playing LF but not in the modern game. He simply doesn't have the stamina.

You're right about those childish comments about Hull. I'm surprised he said it because he comes across pretty well when interviewed.

Rovers incoming players with current squad members doesn't really make much sense. There must be players leaving

Seems decent to me. Maybe not the most exciting signing but it would fill a big hole. And maybe he will grow into it like Clifford did.

Hooker is interesting. We have 3 good prospects in the academy and Balmforth ready to go. You have to think Mint will go round again but play fewer minutes. So where does that leave us? Shall we get JJ back from Cas as a spare? Play MacNamara there even though he passes the ball like it's a breezeblock? Tricky.

Really don't fancy Scheinder at all based on what I've seen so far, accepted that it's based on few games. Also if people are putting he's already here as a strength I think that says something.

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Tue Aug 15, 2023 11:48 am  

To be fair to Schneider he has only played two games ans we have only watched him in two of them, probably the two biggest games of the season. Apparently played well against Leeds and Cas where he has 3 assists and a try.

Not 100% sold on him, but there must be a player there as he was highly rated at the Raiders.

Looks more like a 6 to me than a 7.

Is there much else out there, plenty of Clune standard 7's playing reserve grade, but vert fee would get visas.

I still wouldn't mind Flannagan.

Wonder if Kodi Nikorima would be an option? On the outside at the Dolphins, can cover 7 and 9 to a good standard
