Am I right in saying that Ben Mellor is the older brother of Joe?

Yeah, your right.

Imagine the outcry on here if the result had been reversed. Given it was in our favour I think a big well done is due to those that played and the coaching staff. Especially given Leeds' status in youth development.

And lots more praise for McCarthy. Get Mitchell in the first team. He's more than ready

I understand that, but we are well oversupplied with second rowers. I think Blythe is probably first reserve now and Johnson can cover too. Close thing between Harrison and Mitchell, I'd say.

Only if he can score hattricks every game.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say I rate Mitchell higher than I rate Anderson the L and Blythe. I believe Mitchell would and should be pushing for a starting spot, not just being on the bench as back up.

Westwood and Mitchell in the second row would do a mighty fine job.

Can't agree with you there, Cockney, I think Blythe has massive potential, like I think he could be in the national side in a couple of years, I think he has a top drawer all-round game.

In terms of rating the second rowers I'd go:

Westwood
Blyth
Johnson
Mitchel
Landerson
Harrison

I agree that Blythe has the potential, just like Penny

I just think Mitchell is already there, just like Riley

I like him, he's a talent for sure. That said, I thought he struggled at the back end of the season. I thought he struggled to back up week to week. He'll get his chances this year, lets hope we're in a better position injury wise taht we can put him in & pull him out when we like.

McCarthy, Mitchell, Blythe, Cooper, Harrison & Pickersgill. We now have a fantastic 'development' reverse pack.
