Got to agree wlth grezzler about mellars ,i thought when we signed him it would be a good signing what a dissapointment,his performances particulary the one against bradford at bell vue when jeffries kicks frightened him to death were terrible. He may have the size to fill in at second row as someone suggested but his powder puff running and weak tackling i doubt would cause problems to many super league sides

| Quote: Willzay "Last year at Saints the team selection was puzzling as we had 3 hookers in the 17, although we played Mariano at prop with Mellars and Aiton in the second row. However we did not lose by fifty points as you put it, think the scoreline was 38-12? When Poore went off yesterday we didn't lack physicality as I thought Singleton and Wilkes did a good job going forward. Also thought Trout looked comfortable playing at prop and also did good going forward.'"
I stand corrected you are right it was 38 -12 however you can understand my mistake as St Helens did run in 8 tries.... |

| Quote: Grezzler "The problem with Mellars is he hasn't shown anything since joining the club worthy of any position, there's many more options I'd prefer before shoehorning Mellars into the squad. The likes of Kirmond and Mariano have upped their game, where Mellars looks to have gone backwards. If he does get a chance he's got to make the most of it, otherwise I'd be trying to offload ASAP if I was Agar.'"
Playing for crusaders looked a decent player and scored plenty of tries - but played mainly on the wing. Spent most of last season in centres and obviously injured latter half of season. As a non quota player think he is a decent squad player particulary if we get any injuries in the back line. He does look to have bulked up in off season so lets hope hes fighting for a place |

I'm willing to give him another chance, but unless we get plenty of injuries I'm not sure he will get another chance, unless used as a utility player. I'm not clued up on what position he played for Crusaders, if as you say he had most success on the wing he's gonna have to bide his time on that one. Fox and Cockayne don't seem to be injury prone and score plenty of tries, so his desired position my not be achievable. |

Sorry to pee on your bonfire but Vince Mellars has played 64 games in Super league, 59 as a centre so the played on the wing gag is an urban myth! |

What like the one about Trout not being a Prop despite having played in that position since he was about 12  |

Its a bit different to opposing 12 year olds! With Trout i think its a case of he's not ready just yet for playing prop week in week out at first team level, he needs to continue to develop. Now and again as cover yes, but not as a regular yet, that will come in time.

Lad looks to have put on a bit of size, could possibly move into the back row, that said we have plenty of lads playing there, perhaps a bench spot as he can cover wing centre and the back row! |
