Id rather sign players to improve our 17, not sure Mellor would, Truman definitely would improve our first team.

Was highly rated at Huddersfield I think though.

I think we were linked with him before he signed for Leeds

People are going to have to lower their expectations with signings given our financial problems.

We are shopping in the reduced aisle this season, as long as they are young and have potential I'm happy with that what we don't want is a load of old journeymen clogging up the salary cap and treatment table.

I just want players that have a decent rugby brain and tend to do the right thing.

Players that show commitment and effort.

Don’t have to be world beaters just reliable.

Almost all second row for Leeds with three centre appearances. At Huddersfield he changed from predominantly centre in 2017 to second row.

Certainly looks to be a Mau replacement.

Mau is pretty steady, good pro, but don't think he pulls trees up, I think for the wage he l be on we d get more value from a signing like Mellor who will also be steady if unspectacular, allowing us to either save abit of cash for debts, or put towards strengthenong elsewhere.
