Ellis Robson & Mitieli Vulikijapani - 2 week loan : Thu May 20, 2021 5:53 pm  

Thought may deserve its own threat.

I know Widnes fans are quite gutted about Robson leaving. Don't know much about the Fijian player but if he's half as good as the last Fijian winger Hull had, we've got one hell of a player.

Personally not a fan of two week loans. Think it's just disrupts the team, you get zero consistency and before you know it you've ended up using 40 players in a season (and we know how that ended up for us)

But I think we've used it well here (providing we don't keep signing two week loans just because a player is a available) Robson likely to remain here more than two weeks and with London & York the next two games, hopefully Vulikijapani could do us a massive favour, even if he is only here two weeks.

I can envisage them both being here for some time tbh unless Mitch is absolutely amazing there is a few infront of him there plus I think shaul is slowly coming through the other side too

Robson is obviously to cover for Levy. I assume Dawson-Jones is out for longer than expected and we want to increase competition amongst the outside backs?

Maybe but not necessarily could eventually have them both on opposite wings? I personally could see robson at loose freeing up bevans and Fleming at prop

I said this on the Kear post (before it was apparent he is unavailable for 3 months) ill say the same here. Its looks as though kear doesnt fancy Sanderson and Hamlett at all . The signing of MV pushes them way way down the pecking order now.

Yeah why the hell did we even bother signing Sanderson? Looking like a waste of money right now.

In light of the academy decision is this a sign of things to come with Championship sides now being reduced to reserve grade status for the big 10 SL clubs? Players coming in on loan willy-nilly.
