Can anyone enlighten me on how this lad is doing and is it true he is injured??
Did he get promoted to the 1st team training squad.

thanks

Anyone else feel like its our turn soon?

Saints had Pryce, Long, Cunningham and Wellens for a while
Leeds have had McGuire, Burrow, Diskin and Sinfield

We could have Tomkins(x2), Mellor, O'Loughlin and Leuluai


Consistency in the team brings success, by having a team of academy players who have played together for years we could be in for a good decade!

I was with loads of saints, leeds and hull fans on the train going to and from the GF and thats exactly what they all said.

Call me easily impressed, but Mellor along with Farrel and Davies have always been the standout players from the reserves.

Hopefully over the next 12 months Mellor will be slowly eased into the team, in view of him eventually partnering Tomkins at halfback.

Are time is slowly but surely on it's way back, just a little patience with all involved and we'll be there.

Ou squad has an air of stability and togetherness about it that we haven't seen for many years. There are no superstars taking up all the wages. All the players have played for the club for a while now [Minus Deacon. It just seems that we're getting on an even keel now. After the last 10 years I think our time is coming again.

I'm going to swim against the flow here, and I really hope to be proved wrong. I don't see Joe Mellor making it at Wigan or Superleague level. I just don't think he quite has that edge to his game.

Like I said I hope I'm wrong, time will tell.
