TRANSFER SURPRISE!
TALKING RUGBY LEAGUE
With MARTYN SADLER Editor
Ayear ago I thought that Hull KR had three excellent halfbacks in Rowan Milnes, Mikey Lewis and Jordan Abdull.
I rated Milnes and Abdull (pictured) very highly and I thought that Lewis had tons of promise that I hoped would be realised as the season unfolded, which it most certainly did, although some of it was when he played at fullback in the absence of Lachlan Coote in that position.
Lewis and Abdull were the combination for their opening game of the 2023 season, when the Robins registered a 27-18 home victory over Wigan, putting down a marker that clearly indicated the progress that the club would make last year.
To my way of thinking, Abdull was clearly the dominant player in the Hull KR team, with a smart football brain and a wonderful kicking game, while Milnes had a very good short kicking game near to the opposition line.
