He has lost some of it, which shows just how quick he was. I must add that I am really pleased to see him back playing first team rugby.

I was impressed by them both. I thought they were the best players on the pitch. Mellor showed some natural rugby smarts which made me think that it's a pity Widnes got their hands on him! We could have done with a bit of that in our team, since we don't actually have any among our present squad. Hanbury is a real find at fullback.

Interesting. Sean Long's injuries early in his career probably ended up improving him as a player, as once he couldn't rely on his ridiculous speed off the mark he had to develop a more rounded and cultured game.

| Mellor badly broke his knee cap during wrestling training iirc whilst Maguire was in charge. I went to a sportsmans dinner where Maguire was the guest and he felt terrible about it.
The lad had scary pace before that injury. I remember a try he scored in an u20's Grand Final against Saints at the DW that was unbelievably good. I'm sure Lomax was at fullback for Saints that day.

Think you may be referring to this:
Reserves Grand Final 2009.
Extract from The Chair Makers report:
Wigan on the other hand with a dominant pack giving the brilliant Joe Mellor room to do what he wanted were taking the mickey. Mellor himself scored an absolutely fantastic try in which he weaved, stepped dummied and outpaced what looked like half the Saints side, before going under the sticks. When this is combined with the astute kicking and organising game which he displayed' one has to say that Wigan fans should be getting very excited.
I think a Mellor, Tomkins half back combination come 2012 is one that will rip SL teams to shreds.
Joe Mellor at half back is really fast and agile. He is slightly built like Tomkins but looks a lot faster.

| Went to that '09 GF. Mellor was superb, but the Wigan pack mullered us - Ben Davies and Lee Mossop in particular were tremendous.

Where is Davies now? Is he still at Widnes? I haven't seen him when they've played recently.

| We got dominated up front and beaten in the backs by pace? Maybe I was wrong when I said Saints don't have a single structure running through the different age ranges.

Yes, very few are left with the same clubs.
