yep leeds for mellor in 2020

not too happy having a player play for us knowing he is playing for someone else next season, stopping someone else from progressing, a waste of time for me and shows no loyalty to the club..as a fan you want loyalty

for me bring ferguson back and ship mellor out on loan instead!

It’s the system GiantsRL, fundamentally flawed as it creates these situations, not sure how you could make it work any other way, crazy, but same for all I suppose.

Good player , was never going to a superstar and not really sure he’d have been a starter when everyone’s fit , I’d personally say I don’t want to see him in the team for the rest of the season but with injury’s it may be hard and he’s a good lad so you know he’ll put his all in anyway

Well Leeds fans can’t be so over enthusiastic- not even mentioned on their site.

Re: mellor : Mon Jun 03, 2019 7:02 pm  

Real shame, not the biggest (for second row) but a natural try-scorer who knew just where to be and how to get over the line, will be a big loss.

It’s mentioned in the transfer rumours as done, but not an official thread until the official announcement. That’s how we roll you see.

But yet you have a rumours thread as a sticky with pages of speculation and discussion about other players .....
In there his name is mentioned a couple of times but there’s no discussion.

Butler could well turn out to be the ideal replacement. From my observations he looks abit physically bigger than Mellor. He's a year younger so gives him a year in full time to try get upto Mellors standard. As I've also said previously, as he came to the sport late, he could improve loads in the full time environment.

I watched fax's game against Bradford and was totally underwhelmed by Butler, he had zero impact on that game and never looked dangerous at all. Mellor has an amazing tryscoring record for us and will be a BIG loss, let's try not to make a player seem bad because he's leaving eh? If this was a Mellor signed up for three years thread people would be saying very different things. Other teams fans will respect you a lot more if you are honest with your assessments

He will be a loss but not irreplaceable like some are making out, far from it.

You cant judge Butler off one game though can you? according to most other fans in Championship and all Halifax fans he is a very good prospect.

Re: mellor : Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:50 am  

Not sure anyone suggested he was irreplacable, but nonetheless, i would have preferred to have retained him more that most of our forward pack as he offers a genuine tryscoring threat whereas most of our forwards are defence machines and/or plodders in attack.
