We may not need them at the moment but it would be nice to have back up.

| Mellors has been disappointing but Southern has been fine for me when on the field.
If he gets fit I'd happily keep him.

| Southern never wins the collision thus making minimal yardage (run at a gap man !!) and Mellars has done very little and defensively poor. They wont be missed if they go now, much better players coming through the system that deserve a chance.

Southern will be on excellent money hes done very minimal we must remember though he is out of position. Our other 2nd row options are far better though young/ british and very talented.

| Mellers is a winger Id be happy with him as 3rd choice winger he must have a decent take on him. Big bloke could be our pat richards ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif) .

I think he does quite well taking the ball in, he lands on his front most of the time so he can get up quicker and play the ball.
I agree with Mellors though, not been impressed with him.

I agree with that - he's also pretty brutal in defence.
For me, I wasn't at all disappointed with either siging, but I'm a bit disappointed with the value we've got from them, which I guess has happened for various reasons.
Southern was mis-used as a prop early in the season in my view (out of necessity) and ended up busted as a result. Mellars is a winger and from the limited times I saw him play there for Crusaders, looked like a good one.

I'm with you on this. That comment IMO is from someone who has decided that Southern has not offered what we were expecting and has refused to actually see what he does give when on the field (sadly, that hasn't happened often enough).

Agree with Vasty. He puts us on the front foot making easy yards but the best part of it he usually doesn't get put on his back and gets up quickly which gives you a massive advantage.

Agree.
As for Southern when he's on the park he's quality, one of the best defenders in the side and makes yards with a quick play of the ball. Problem is we just haven't go the game time out of him we should have, it'll be interesting to see how things develop for next year.

I think he's only surpassed in that by Andy Raleigh, which could be a function of being trained under Nathan Brown when Shudds introduced their hybrid of RL and WWE to SL a few seasons ago; he dominates in the tackle and leaves the attacking player upside down, facing the wrong way - in attack, he wins collision and finds his front more often than not, making for a quick ptb or a penalty.
It's not pretty, but it's a big factor in the modern game.
