Hello this lad has just signed from your academy for Oldham does anybody know anything about him.

Didn't he stab wire in the back for a more lucrative move to wigan?

Sounds like his dream move turned sour if he is off to oldham. Whats that about karma and all that.

IIRC that was his brother, Joe Mellor, that went to Wigan.

I stand corrected kind sir.

Just out of interest, is Joe Mellor still at Wigan?

Iirc as peckerwood states it was Joe who went to Wigan ... but whats annoying about your post it why is it automatically a stab in the back for Wire ?? in fact i think it might of been wire who instigated the move joe made to Wigan, because we wanted Leatherbarrow..

I have real difficulty buying that a youth of 15 or 16 years of age (when he left Wire for Wigan) stabbed anyone in the back, maybe it was mutual or poor advice that lead him there.

He returned and played for the academy (which also leads me to believe that no back stabbing was done) and now at 20-21 years of age he has decided it may not happen for him here so he has moved on again chasing his dream.

One final thought, have you never left a place of employment for somewhere that can offer you what you want, if that is money or job satisfaction.....I have!

I seem to remember that his departure caused a bit of agro down at the hj at the time it happened. In fact a few people had a pop about the situation on this very forum.

I wasn't sure of the actual events and thats why i posed a question rather than just state it as fact.

You make some stuff up!!!
Cause agro at the club NO. Joe wanted something that the club would not offer (like every player who has left the club etc), as it didnt suit the club, or what the club offered suit him, so he found it elsewhere.

Isnt Sean Mellor at Oldham on community staff?

you weren't posing the question, you were talking out of your , AGAIN

He sure is. Playing very well and tipped to be the next Wigan born, bred and raised star. He'll be tearing you apart in a few years. No worries.

Sorry Tony but I seem to remember reading a grovelling apology from another poster who had made certain accusations about the same issue.

I think you will find that im 100% correct about that.

Stop making things up - you obvioulsy know naff all about the lad.


Interesting that Natters remembers somebody posting this I thought "she" had only recently stumbled across this message-board. Mind you her posts on this thread remind me of an idiot who posted similar derogatory comments about two different people who were given leave due to close members of family were seriously ill.

I'm glad this message board isn't polluted by such idiots anymore unfortunatley we have Natters to put up with.

Yep, going well too

Not used to interviews though

about that, yes, but that's got nowt to do with ben mellor, the lad in question here, and not knowing the facts went off on a rant making yourself look like a bellend.


Likewise if you go down the backtracking route of saying you were [ialways [/italking about joe mellor and him signing for incident, you've still made yourself look like a bellend with your rant.


In classic cullen's pants style.

Yet hated wigan that much that he went to 2 different schools in Warrington

i thought hed gone leigh.

see josh culls done ok with his move tho.

Yes he is, popped up on the news the other week doing some work in a school in an article about the state of Oldham as a rugby town.

Man of the match in last years reserve final win v Saints (although he was still U18 academy qualified).

He has been rewarded with a full time contract at Wigan and is now part of the accelerator squad.

What's happened to Scott Leatherbarrow, is he still at Wire?
I heard rumours that he was being let go.

For Gawdsakes dont post rumours on here...Foney Toney will have a dippy fit and start swearing like a docker.

Oh what I would give to be in an accelerator squad...

i think natters is pushing his look and coul facethe ban button if things don't imporve ay tony?

He's the older, less talented brother. Young Joe is just a season or two away from becoming the next Sam Tomkins. Another Wire supporting Wigan star.

I'm enjoying the irony of Natters using the term 'foney' (I actually believe he means phoney??), considering he has attempted to pass himself off as a woman since his arrival on this forum...

If I were you I'd check which part of Wigan that Orford Park is in, because Joe has spent most of his life living across the road from there...
