Spinal ligament damage caused by a crusher tackle, apparently.

That sounds very much like he’ll have a disrupted pre-season with us. Not ideal.

We do have plenty of cover.

So when covid and injuries and suspensions hit next season we be in the same situation as this season.Gannon Martin and Bentley are the only quality backrowers we have.The rest are just average.

Mellor is alright - he was playing well this season I thought. Not spectacular but solid enough. Walters could be anything but he's very young yet, and he needs to get his head and body right for top flight RL.

Gannon is rightly hyped up, but at the same time his body isn't up to regular full games at SL level. When he strengthens up he's going to be a thing (and probably of interest to NRL, I hate to say it but it's true).

I hope Bentley can get fit for us, this is a real shame - we've seen how many issues Trueman has had at Cas with his back. Doesn't sound a great injury this.

Mellor is hardly average Walters has bags of potential and should improve with more game time if we are running a reserve team next season.

Mellor wouldn't get in any other top six side.Granted Walters has bags of potential but it's still to be seen whether that translates into a top backrower the jury's still out on that one and you didn't even try to defend Donaldson.So we seem to be scratching around for quality in the second row.

Mellor isnt guaranteed to be in our team if all are fit but take a second row out of any of the top six teams then Mellor would probably make their 17.If all fit i expect Donaldson to play less games next season.

Glad you cleared up that Mellor wouldn't get into the starting lineups of any the top six unless there were injuries.
