Quote: PlayTheBall "I have been a avid RL follower and supporter of Leigh Centurions for 41 years.
I have never witnessed a better scrum half performance, at any level, that comes even close to that of Joe Mellor today.
Joe has been doing it all season and is playing the best rugby of his life - perhaps helped by Adrian Lam’s coaching involvement.
Joe is involved in directing the team around the field in attack and defence and his back up play is sheer class. When he makes a break you sure as hell need someone on his shoulder and we have this quality in abundance in the current squad.
Today was a special team performance 1-17 but we do have another guy called Edwin Ipape who is worth the admission money in his own right . This guy is very special. Today he not only made some fantastic breaks but also demonstrated his natural unselfish instinct to off load to guys better placed to score.
History was made today and I am delighted to have been part of it.'"
If you have been watching Leigh for 41 years, surely you would have seen the performances of Ken Green in the stellar 81/2 season when he made 35 appearances against top division sides. Let’s not forget the pitiful opposition we we were playing today.
