Very early days for Mellor but I do agree. Has shown absolutely nothing so far.

Not sure how anyone has Mellor as a certain starter. Looks absolute gash so far, really poor. Defence woeful yesterday, and poor with ball too.

I wouldn’t automatically pick Donaldson, but over Mellor currently every time.

I agree entirely.

I know it’s early days in his Leeds career but what I’ve seen so far just reinforces the view I had when we announced his signing.....in terms of pointless signing in my eyes as he offers nothing different to what we already have in our 2nd row options.

I know we were linked with him before we signed Mellor, but I would have taken Josh Jones from Salford every day of the week over Mellor.

I’d even have Sutcliffe in over Mellor and that’s from someone who doesn’t think Sutcliffe should be anywhere near the match day squad if/when everyone is fit and available.

I kind of agree but it is early days, FWIW id have Donaldson in over Mellor at this stage, he may not offer huge amounts in attack but he is absolutely solid in defence and doesn’t shirk a thing, been a teal positive signing for me

Mellors defence for Salfords 2nd try was awful.

Mellor has played 3 games. Let him settle at the club. Personally i thought he had a decent game v KRnt. Hes mobile. As a back up player he will be fine.

Me too, think he is pacey enough and may start to see what he can do on drier tracks.

I didnt think Mellor was too bad others conceded cheap penalties dropped passes & missed tackles yesterday especially 1st half.

Mellor missed more tackles than anyone as I suspected. Nine missed tackles and he was only half the number of tackles made of Smith. He’s looked very poor so far. Hopefully that will change later, but for now he should be down the pecking order.

He looks like another Huraki to me, massive improvement needed

Re: RD 5 | Warrington Wolves (H) : Sun Feb 23, 2020 12:18 pm  

Well, we have a reserve side now. Personally I reckon he might turn out ok but hopefully we're now in a place where players don't have to be played back into form in the first team.
