Old Frightful Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 VW will be along shortly to say he's always thought this and it's about time Betts listened to him. Hull FC....The Sons of God...

latchford albion Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Thought it was Joey 'Johns' Mellor. "I'm a traditionalist and I don"t think you'd ever see me coaching an Australian national side!"

Padge Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I don't know how old Langer is now but yep Mellor could be nearly as good as Langer is these days.

bobbruce Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I don't know how old Langer is now but yep Mellor could be nearly as good as Langer is these days. That reminds me of the last time don Bradman came over to watch the ashes. The radio commentators asked the man who averaged 99 in test cricket how he thought he'd get on against the then England bowling. I'd like to think I'd average 60 or 70 the commentators said 60or 70 is that all. To which Bradman said well I am 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B rad Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Its always tough to compare players of a different era. Langer played 34 Origins, 24 tests and the superleague test for Australia. This is a time when guys like Sterling and Mortimer were winding up their carriers, Ricky Stuart and Geoff Toovey were in their prime and young guys like Joey Johns and Brett Kimmorley were making their mark. Tommy Raudonikis who coached both Langer and Johns says at no point did Andrew Johns ever outplay Langer when they played against each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Langer If he IS the next Allan Langer then England will be looking exceptionally difficult to beat over the next few years.

Guest Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Is this Dennis's way of telling us that joe mellor will be England's #7 for the 4nations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 He was the half back who had the most influence on the game with two well taken tries through gaps that didn't seem to be there I think Betts was over excited - this is a side that lost 8 games on the bounce and confidence was extremely low and came back from 16-0 down in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvy wg Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Is this Dennis's way of telling us that joe mellor will be England's #7 for the 4nations? Gale-Mellor would be fine. But nah, how about Smith-Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wollo Wollo Wayoo Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Langer never needed a Kevin Brown along side for his team to have a win. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

Farmduck Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Perhaps Mellor is a heavy drinker. Langer was notorious for his ability to kill a beer or several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
