I'm probably an outdated fuddy-duddy from the 1980's, but I like my wingers to be wingers. Shaw is one of mine and my son's favourite Rovers Players, as you rightly say he's the only person on the books who can go full length. His kicking is top class too. I don't know why wingers are judged on ball carrying from our own line or their ability to tackle 19 stone props, it's not their job?
I'm sure the lads over the River don't mind Mark Snooze missing the odd tackle or two, he more than makes up for it in other areas.

As for Vai-Vai, it's a shame because he was one of our favourite players too but has for some reason lost all confidence this season and, looking at it commercially, he was constituting poor value for money in terms of a quota spot. Good luck to him in France though.

Thought both went well last night. Hopefully we can extend the loan periods as it will benefit both us and them if they get game time instead of kicking their heels back over the wrong side of the Pennines.

can we keep them ,hard to believe the lad johnson is only 20 and mixing it in a hull derby very promising, livett a very good versitile player with plenty in his locker,without the initial hysteria of a derby victory based on the 2 games played so far they have been a bonus for us only having a thin squad

They've both looked promising i think, prefer to see Livett in the 2nd row rather than through the middle though but he's a talented player for sure. Johnson defo one for the future too

What do you think? Promoing in a word
