re. Mellor
It's not important that Wigan got rid or that Widnes are a struggling team. Would he be a decent signing? He has caused lots of problems to us in the past and he looks pretty good to me.

And is one of the better half backs available at the moment... if we go for another marquee NRL half (which I hope we do) we could do worse than Mellor alongside him. The options aren’t exactly abundant at the moment. I wasn’t a massive Kevin Brown fan before he this season but what I’d give to have a younger Brown here for the next two years... and I never thought I’d sa that in 2017.

that's fair enough but the signing mistakes Wigan Have made throughout their History are about as many as Tony Smith made in his last season.....

but the difference between Long and Mellor is after a handful of games for widnes all of superleague were interesed in signing Long...... Mellor is 27 and played about 160 games for widnes and I'm not sure the top clubs have been knocking on the door at Halton Stadium.....generally that's a bit of a gauge to where his level is......


ooh and a pound for someone who says yeah what about Luke Gale then....

What about Luke Gale then...what about Kevin Penny too? The top clubs didn't knock on his door so you could have said Swinton was a gauge of where he was, till he came back to be a successful SL winger with us.

That will be two pounds please.

Me thinks SC has found a gap in the market.

Re: Roberts : Mon Jun 25, 2018 9:08 pm  

Plus according to the rules it’s a pound for saying Luke Gale, but doesn’t state how many times he can be mentioned.

Luke Gale Luke Gale Luke Gale...

Shouldn't that be £1:01?
One Gale and a Penny,

Re: Roberts : Tue Jun 26, 2018 7:33 am  

Here’s a good poser for you, if not a little off-topic...

If total cost of Luke Gale and Kevin Penny together is £1.10, and Luke Gale costs £1 more than Kevin Penny, how much is Kevin Penny...?

Clue: The answer is not £0.10.

Re: Roberts : Tue Jun 26, 2018 8:59 am  

£0.05

I'd be shocked if we weren't interested in Jackson Hastings who's just been released by Manly.
