His potential was there for all to see today, an awesome prospect who looks a nailed on star once his game gets polished through coaching and experience. Also nice to see some decent link play and range of passing from Mellor at times, I'm sure he'll grow into a first team player provided he gets more chances.
Widnes were offside for one kick but he looked shaky diving forward to catch 2 kicks in the first half. If he plays against London then Gower would give him plenty of practise to get it right.
Yeah Widnes were offside for the one he dropped (which from the other end looked to go backwards and he regathered) and he lost the direction of another but in the main I thought he got to grips with the high kicks as the game wore on.
He does look quite awkward catching them with each one looking like it'll knock him off his feet but that's just his style. He crouches to take the ball in and takes them close to the ground.
Again these were minor issues that he'll work on. His natural talent is so exciting.
Quote="Rogues Gallery"Pretty impressive stats from Russell and Mellor. It's just a pity about Mellors three missed tackles, but that was probably partly down to fatigue and the fact that we were two subs light for much of the game.
