Am I right in saying that Ben Mellor is the older brother of Joe?

Yeah, your right.

Imagine the outcry on here if the result had been reversed. Given it was in our favour I think a big well done is due to those that played and the coaching staff. Especially given Leeds' status in youth development.

I understand that, but we are well oversupplied with second rowers. I think Blythe is probably first reserve now and Johnson can cover too. Close thing between Harrison and Mitchell, I'd say.

Only if he can score hattricks every game.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say I rate Mitchell higher than I rate Anderson the L and Blythe. I believe Mitchell would and should be pushing for a starting spot, not just being on the bench as back up.



Westwood and Mitchell in the second row would do a mighty fine job.

Can't agree with you there, Cockney, I think Blythe has massive potential, like I think he could be in the national side in a couple of years, I think he has a top drawer all-round game.

In terms of rating the second rowers I'd go:



Westwood

Blyth

Johnson

Mitchel

Landerson

Harrison

I agree that Blythe has the potential, just like Penny



I just think Mitchell is already there, just like Riley

I like him, he's a talent for sure. That said, I thought he struggled at the back end of the season. I thought he struggled to back up week to week. He'll get his chances this year, lets hope we're in a better position injury wise taht we can put him in & pull him out when we like.



McCarthy, Mitchell, Blythe, Cooper, Harrison & Pickersgill. We now have a fantastic 'development' reverse pack.

I feel Blythe has more to his game now, I'm not sure who's the quicker as I've never really seen Blythe stretch his legs, but he did used to play centre/wing at times IIRC. I think Blythe has more ability so to speak, I think he's better when he gets on the ball. Looking at it now, Mitchell could be more like a Westwood, a typical tackling second row, who's deceivingly good going forward, but I feel Blythe will be more like Gilmour, a player with a bit more to his game.



It's close, and I guess it goes on preference, but I prefer Matty.
