What is he 2 games back in from injury and has played well imo on both occasions, running the ball in hard and strong in defence.

Rather him go a season early than a season late.

Hes 34 this season (I think), a quota player and probably one of the top earners. He picks up his fair share of niggles too.

Thank him for his efforts and let him go.

Fair to say I’ve watched Trueman as much as anyone.
Unfortunately, he just hasn’t turned into the player everyone thought he might.
His issue is that he goes missing. A lot. He’s just anonymous in most games. For every good game he has, he has 10 when he does absolutely nothing.
Most of the time he looks like he doesn’t want the ball - he’s very good at hiding in the opposition’s 40, which is worrying given it’s when he should be demanding the ball.
I’d be happy to see him leave if we can replace him with a consistent half back.

I must of caught him on his good days then, always looked pretty tidy to me and does the little things right, popped up with some great trys through his support play already this season, personally think your being harsh on the lad. I think he d thrive in our team.

7 appearances
4 tries
6 assists

Not too shabby

Tbf to Nottinghamtiger I don't think he's come here to poop stir. If you look on casforum he's only repeating what everyone is saying.

The flip side is he has had have back issues for the last few seasons, maybe this has effected his performances, stats wise this season he looks like an upgrade on Reynolds.

When was the last time we signed a young international British half? We should be able to build a team around Trueman

Not sure on Mellor, struggled at Leeds, although when you look at some of the players released by Leeds that have done really well and how poor Sezer looks, maybe a change would do him some good, also think Trueman needs a chance of club, certainly an upgrade in all areas on Reynolds.

I'm just glad we are recruiting, makes me feel more positive about our future.

If Mellor is signed as cover I can handle it.

If he's a starter then it's a massive downgrade.

I wonder if we release Ma'u, we'll move Lane to backrow and sign another middle. Then we could use Mellor off the bench to cover backrow, centre or 13, taking JJ place in the squad.

Id rather sign players to improve our 17, not sure Mellor would, Truman definitely would improve our first team.

Was highly rated at Huddersfield I think though.

I think we were linked with him before he signed for Leeds

Mellor and Trueman already done deals arnt they?

You have your sources. Stop teasing

People are going to have to lower their expectations with signings given our financial problems.

We are shopping in the reduced aisle this season, as long as they are young and have potential I'm happy with that what we don't want is a load of old journeymen clogging up the salary cap and treatment table.

This

I just want players that have a decent rugby brain and tend to do the right thing.

Players that show commitment and effort.

Don’t have to be world beaters just reliable.

100% agree.

what position does Mellor play the most?

Almost all second row for Leeds with three centre appearances. At Huddersfield he changed from predominantly centre in 2017 to second row.

Certainly looks to be a Mau replacement.

Mau is pretty steady, good pro, but don't think he pulls trees up, I think for the wage he l be on we d get more value from a signing like Mellor who will also be steady if unspectacular, allowing us to either save abit of cash for debts, or put towards strengthenong elsewhere.

The unheralded signings often turn out to be the better ones.

I'd definitely be scouring that reserve grade in oz for a number r7 who can organise with a good all round game.

Brandon Wakeham looked decent for Fiji but he's more of a runner. One of the Nikorima boys would be a good addition but I don't think they'd leave the NRL.

Carlos, Satae, Sao, Talanoa, Lovodua good examples.
