Negative????............ Explain what is negative about my comments?.......... You'll find its stating facts!!........ Only thing is I've dared to have an opinion different to yours
COYG

Oliver Roberts injured at the moment.

Make your mind up- are they facts or opinion?
We have a different opinion to each other-so?
It seems to bother you but doesn’t bother me- if we all though the same the forum would be rather boring.
My comment is instead of looking at it in the focus of our youngsters are keeping out other players from aus- hence showing them they are better than those players and so therefore encouraging them to continue to play better -you see it as a negative. It’s a squad game- we can’t play all our players, apart from Connor there arent any youngsters we’ve failed to keep hold of so I just dont get your negativity.

roberts will be on a good wack after his world cup performances and apparently the nrl clubs were sniffing at the time... or agents talking it up

as it stands now mellor should be on more than roberts but at the time we all thought roberts was worth it but hindsight is a great thing!

prob better than him being in the team.

cudjoe and ikahihifo are good to pay just not being selected by woolford too

currently those in their positions aren't doing anything to be dropped.

I’m told that he’s a Leeds player from next season.

Well that's him going backwards then! In all seriousness, its a real shame we can't keep hold of him as he is a good player who is getting better and better at Fartown. Hopefully the money saved on any improved contract we did offer him will be used to put towards either a monster prop or a 13 in the Hinchy mould.

Now Announced.
Leeds on a three year deal.
- leeds is a poopstorm at the moment behind the scenes so the money must have been the draw.
The way I see it, he’s been a decent signing and we’ve had good service from him, seems to have put himself in the shop window more this season but personally I would much rather use the money to keep wardle as he’s a potential match winner. If we lose both I’ll be disappointed.
Be interesting to see how he performs going forward could tell us something of his character is he a seb/Roberts character who plays up for the deal, or a hodgson/hinchcliffe true professional.

yep leeds for mellor in 2020

not too happy having a player play for us knowing he is playing for someone else next season, stopping someone else from progressing, a waste of time for me and shows no loyalty to the club..as a fan you want loyalty

for me bring ferguson back and ship mellor out on loan instead!

It’s the system GiantsRL, fundamentally flawed as it creates these situations, not sure how you could make it work any other way, crazy, but same for all I suppose.

Good player , was never going to a superstar and not really sure he’d have been a starter when everyone’s fit , I’d personally say I don’t want to see him in the team for the rest of the season but with injury’s it may be hard and he’s a good lad so you know he’ll put his all in anyway

Well Leeds fans can’t be so over enthusiastic- not even mentioned on their site.

Real shame, not the biggest (for second row) but a natural try-scorer who knew just where to be and how to get over the line, will be a big loss.

It’s mentioned in the transfer rumours as done, but not an official thread until the official announcement. That’s how we roll you see.
