Can anyone explain why we send a centre who in my mind hasn't done anything drastically wrong to York and bring in a young kid from Hull FC, who has got to learn all the players and the so called "structures" it just seems ludicrous why pay two players especially in the backs when we already have one on the books,or am I missing something?

Rovers send Jake Butler-Fleming to York and then bring in Jack Logan on loan. I'm not sure if the Wizard has lost the plot, bent his wand or made a schoolboy error. . .all all three!

Westmorland confirmed on twitter that JBF move was to free up a quota spot for Masoe.

If that's the case, then fair enough..Feel a bit sorry for JBF as I think he has been ok(apart from the brain fart)but who doesn't make mistakes sometimes.
Just hope Masoe gets his visa and quick.
Heffernan and Carney not in the squad for Sunday, happy with that, don't risk them.
Glad to see Mitch Clark back in.
Squeaky bum time approaching...gulp!

Yes you're missing quite a lot.

He won't be or we wouldn't have loaned him to you.

He would be 4th choice centre. He has a better chance of getting a game on the wing.

He would be 3rd/4th choice.

Sheens wanted Salts to develop as an interchange backrower earlier in the year, so if Logan does enough he will be the immediate backup up for Heff or Minjuryprone!

Why would we have loaned him to you not for him to, at least be in the running to, play? He could have stayed with us otherwise.

Whats wrong with our very own Joe Wardill?

I hope Tim Sheens has seen something I haven't. Can't even see him getting in the squad!

I would expect that once his fitness is sorted and he's upto speed with the game plays he will make a very useful interchange wing/centre from the bench.
I remember seeing his game against Wigan in 2015 and he showed good pace and a solid defence.
Since then he's failed to establish himself in your first team due to his poor injury record.
I for one, hope his problems are behind him and he gives Tim a real selection headache.

logan will get a chance , Heffernan or minns will not complete the 7 qualifying games. on past injury stats , salter although steady dosent score tries so we will need him as jbf has been sacrificed for masoe, taking in the teams performances recently and the quality we have million pound game beckons

Elucidate.

Or shut up.

That's the way to tell him GOOSE don't beat about the Bush

Plenty of cover in outside backs, think JBF has more potential than Logan.Ok he's been shipped out for Mose I get that but this lad is coming off a long injury and is no better than our other back up players. Probably just helping his rehabilitation I can't see him anywhere near the playoffs

I don't for 1 minute think we will load our bench up with a spare outside back.

should be 3 forwards and zdc in the 8s on the bench , and your all probably right , if we stay healthy he will not appear, but we haven't had many games were our backline has been the same, week in week out, he has superleague experience and can score tries the question would be his fitness. on another note it will be very interesting to see how atkin goes tomorrow and wether or not he forces his way into sheens plans for a halfback spot in the 8s due to abdulls injury.

Minns and Heffernan start. Salter has played well alongside Carney. He passed more in 2 games than in the rest of his career. Didn't rate him but he has gone ok as back up.
Logan is a replacement for JBF.
Those who don't rate Minns are way off.
If Sheens teaches him to pass we have a real top quality centre partnership.
Logan is cover with Salter.
Minns defends well scores for fun from anywhere. Had an issue with concussion and a knee injury. Was quality in the cup games.
I am looking forward to the silly 8s.
Warrington will p#ss it. We will compete in all the other games.
Wonder if Clark and Masoe will be in a starting 17 together. I hope they are.
I hope Atkins can shift Ellis too. Ellis lacks confidence and control of a game.
Hope McGuire coming isn't the end of Abdull's time at Rovers. His fitness may have a big say in the 8s.

Didn't we have Roberts fans telling us Abdul would only be back up when he signed and he's been your best half back

No

Kelly left, marsh got injured, and blair moved into the pack ,who was he back up for?he was a shoe in from day 1 in sheens eyes.and yes he has performed well in a rovers shirt, is he good enough for a superleague halfback time will tell, loose man for me

No, you're quite right, it was rovers fans telling us. Goddamn spell checker

Logan's definitely signed for HKR not to play any games, Hull are just sending him there to be coached by Tim Sheens.

Finally a sharks fan with some insight.

Logan won't start in front of Minns and Heffernan if they are fit.
Good cover though.

I think likes to have lots of cover. We have had lots of long term injuries this year...Donaldson, Marsh, Quinlan, Minns, Greenwood, Moss, Clark. Heffernan Abdull etc have missed plenty too. It's to Sheens' credit our record this year is so good.
