Jordan Abdull kicked Salford to pieces - yet frustrated Hull KR boss Willie Peters wanted to “chop” his foot off.
The one-time England stand-off used his left boot to perfection last night to make it two wins from two for new Robins chief Peters. Abdull, 27, created three of KR’s four tries with his kicking quality as his impressive side hit back from a 4-0 interval lead. And it was his stellar pass that helped set up the other for Sam Wood as Rovers went top of Super League.
England captain Sam Tomkins labelled Abdull the best kicker in Super League after their opening day win against Wigan. Ex-Wigan scrum-half Peters admitted: “Firstly, he is a better kicker than me. But I wanted to chop his foot off in that first half. I didn’t think it was Jordan Abdull-like.
