So boring you bothered to reply
You can’t answer because you know it was a a bull poop comment made just so as to be negative about a player who’s decided to turn our offer down.

| Wouldn't be surprised to see Mellor sign for Hull. His partner is from Hull and the family are big FC fans

| Already signed for Wigan as well according to their fans- - he’s going to be a busy boy next year!
Wherever he’s going he’s already signed as he’s not on the list of available players for next year.....

| Can see Hull being the one, they have a glut of players they need to replace in the forwards, Mellor would be a good fit

| Personally --plus supported by facts and stats ---
think his support play in a regularly disjointed team selection, and his defence work rate and return have made him one of the highlights of the season so far .
Get the impression he HAS worked hard on improving his game so perhaps feels THAT deserves some reward Will be sorry to see him go as this attitude plus natural ability could take him much further in the game
But his agent needs to be realistic about his 'worth' and sadly maybe they have overstepped the threshold of what hes worth to us in SW`s plans
Will feel a bit ***** though if he reaches the top elsewhere !!
Then again thought Larne would achieve more than he did but players develop (or don`t) in different ways due to numerous factors not just the players alongside them - thats sport!!
Coaches and hard work can only do so much without the natural ability X factor and personally think Mellor has that to take him further in the game .Good luck to him!!

| with butler signing you feel that mellor is certain to go
thewlis made him an offer and mellor and agent thought it was too low so we went and gave a better offer which again obviously not what they wanted to went out to see if any others offers and there were plenty and likely more money!!
suppose if the club dont think mellor is worth what he thinks he is then we cant go breaking the bank to keep him... we did get the jake connor one wrong though in hindsight! time will tell

| Quote ="wigsey"He's been one of Giants best players this season. Far less injury prone than Taii and I doubt very much that Murphy will last much longer as he's destroyed his body. Ferguson plays three games a season.
Mellor leaving would be a huge loss and would show that Giants are back in the position where other clubs come to pick off the best of their young talent.'"
Never knew Mellor was a Hudds product? haha
Joking aside he has matured into a very good SL back rower with regular game time. He needs to take a leaf from other young players who are playing regularly and go to other teams such as Saints and end up here there and everywhere on dual reg.
His best bet from a playing point of view is to stay with yourselves for me

| Wigsey - Taai injury prone ? Really.?
How many games has he missed with injuries over the last 5 seasons?
Think you might find he is our least injury prone import in a decade - but hey ho, don’t let the true get in the way of a slanderous lie buddy....

I think you will find it was Libellous
To be fair in the last two years he's made 42 appearances. that's a good few games missed. Although agreed perhaps on being the least injury prone foreign import. But that's a low bar.

| If Mellor is going/signed for Hull then good luck to the lad if he’s got a better offer.
However from here onwards he would only play when it suited us hopefully as players return from injury.
My first choice back three would be Wardle, Ta’ai and Turner and concentrate on improving Sam Hewitt rather than Mellor.
I think Mellor is a decent second row but not a centre if keeping him meant paying silly money the right decisions been made.

| Been told today its KR that have shown massive interest in Mellor, not FC.
I agree that if hes gone and and we cant make the top 5 then develop Hewitt before Mellor. The only thing that worries me long term for Hewitt is that he is extremely small for a forward.
If Mellor does re-sign then its really hard to see how were going to be able to strengthen the squad further with only Matagi & Farrell OOC

Why not, we do with Australians and give them contracts well into their retirement rather than bringing through academy talent.

I’ve heard a rumour from an accurate source that Mellor asked for the same money as Roberts and was told no.
Mellor is twice the player that Roberts is now but it seems though that we have a lot of cap tied up in Roberts which appears to have been a huge error.

| From listening to Thewlis yesterday it sounds like Mellor will definitely not be at the Giants next year.

| That’s a shame, but it won’t break us.
I think keeping wardle next season is more important.
Chance for Hewitt to step up and there’s Ross whitmore in the wings to go to LF.
Have Murphy, Lawrence, Ferguson, wardle, Roberts, Hewitt, taai who can all play second row.
Personally would like to see taai and wardle as our second rows next season.
