Hurrell's pantomime marching to the club song will transfer nicely from Marching on Together to Saints Go Marching In.

They will also get 1 great attacking game in 5, a woeful positional defender and the most unprofessional attitude to staying fit they will have ever seen.

Really 3 or 4 years.I reckon by the end of next season he wont be far off.Bentley is quality and i think Mellor is decent.

Briscoe still on contract wont be going anywhere.

If martin does resign then i hope its only 12 months.

Watch what proper SC coaches can do to a player.

Think Martin has been playing reality well tbh and did again last night.,was a great run to set up Myler. I’d be more than happy to see him play for another couple of years with us.

He is but we also have Gannon and Walters and both of these need game time.

If we are going to be genuine contender then we'll have to see a marked improvement in many of our second row options.Gannon is only a kid so he needs to be looked after and Walters (for whatever reason) has barely played.Martin has hit a bit of form now but overall hasn't had a great this season and to me mellor is ok but not much better than that.

If we keep Martin he starts for me, not a big fan of Mellor.

Bentley
Martin
Mellor
Walters
Gannon

With Bentley and Martin pencilled in as starters then no particular order after that, This looks about right for next season to me. I wouldnt be looking to retain Mellor after next season and would be hoping Walters would be ahead of him by then anyways. Gannons exceptional but i would be managing his gametime carefully for the next 18 month.

Walters has to become more physical or his game time will be limited at Leeds. Hes all the ability to become a very good player but toughness is a requirement and hes got to produce.

Like most taller players, Walters is currently struggling to increase his physicality. Think Chris Feather or Wayne McDonald. He needs to really work on his strength and determination if he’s going to fulfil his huge potential.

Agreed, he's not there at the minute but hope within the next 18 month he should be looking at getting ahead of Mellor who isnt the most physical/tough backrower himself.

They’ll get it even with Martin here, we’ll most definitely get injuries too and we need quality depth. His experience will help them too.

I'm not sure it's the physicality Walters struggles with, he just doesn't seem like he has much appetite for the graft. He's way more more talented than O'connor, but O'Connor definitely seems to more of the required mentality than Walters

We’ve not seen lots of Walters this year don’t forget.

He could be an absolute specimen physically with his frame - but it will take a little time. He needs to get his D sorted too; I get one of the downsides being so tall is bending your back for everyone else who’s shorter - it can all get a bit grabby.

I still think there’s a player in there and with a good pre-season I’m hoping we’ll see more of it next year. Gannon will also benefit massively from more conditioning, as will Tommy Holroyd.

Mellor is a tough one - I don’t think his skill level is where I’d like (really poor several times jumping for kicks for example)… but actually he was starting to win me round this year. I guess he has another year to cement his place.
