Do we bang Dropsy into centre and play Eastmond on the wing or is this asking for more trouble? Meli far too laid back tonight when the ball was in the air, would the young lad be a bit more hungry for the ball?

Well he seemed to be in the center rather then on the wing tonight anyway, so why not?
The wing was far to exposed at times.

Always your year
I will drop him back off down under when i go over to oz the world cup if anyone wants ??? by the way was it a punn when you mentioned DROP him to the centers
Stick this clown in the pack and lets get a new winger!!!! I believe Lee Smith is available, he was awesome tonight!!!
Meli has capped off a shocking season, with an absolutely dreadful performance. We have released better wingers for nothing, the only thing that saves him is that he is a Kiwi and has the odd good game in the big matches.
Other thought was to stick him in second row but think that's unlikely.

Hero to Zero in a matter of a few weeks, if the weather had been dry we would have pasted them.
besides gidley **** the lot of overseas players of and start again
Drop Meli off in Manchester and tell him not to come back..
cant blame 1 player shite all over the pitch big time charlies
Meli has made the most mistakes for saints this year but check his stats he has some of the best in other areas
COME ON YOU SAINTS!!!
With or without Meli we deserved to lose tonight. But, agreed, maybe centre may be the best thing for him coz he'll still be here next year.
I have said it since this waste of space signed for Saints, he is not worth a starting jersey, but yet some on here still think ADE is worse than Meli. Get rid NOW.
Mind you, after tonights performance
Leon "MISSING IN ACTION" Pryce
Sean "I HAVE'NT A IN CLUE" Long

Talk about "Noble & The Bradfut Monkey" This is getting as bad.
Are you for real?? Leon was injured, he withdrew from the game after he picked up his knock. Long's kickng game was poor and he didn't pass as much as he should and for the second GF in a row has gone missing and the comment on Keiron is a absolute disgrace and shows you either have no respect or have absolutely no idea of the game and its 13 fellas chasing a funny shaped ball. You should be ashamed of yourself.Originally Posted by John O Gaunt
People on here want to get off Meli's back. The bloke ran his blood to water and worked like a trojan horse. We all know he is suspect under the high ball but don't let that cloud judgments on all other aspects of his game tonight.
Saints were poor in more than one area tonight, and to heap the blame onto Meli is short sighted and ignorant. Lose with grace. The better side won on the night, at least after the credits had finished on the Ashley Klein show.
and people wonder why Saints fans have bad reputationsOriginally Posted by John O Gaunt
We need speed on the wings & at full back. We were exposed again (just like last season's grand final) through our lack of speed in these positions.

I hope Potter has the sense to get shut of Meli, he has let us down to many times.
Indeed, not to blame any one player, the team performance was overall poor. The conditions suited Whinos, as did Klein.

yes play him in the centreOriginally Posted by N.P.G.
the in trafford centre
i have backed him all year
but last night i believe you all
he is s##t
i also agree the TEAM performance was very poor and im not having that said against KC. But time and time again Meli's cock ups end up in a try.
Meli to Salford, Huddersfield, Celtic, Castleford. Anywhere but playing for Saints. He is totally unreliable and inconsistent and makes gaff after gaff. Sure a lot of the lads didn't perform at Old Trafford, in truth we never cope with adverse weather conditions, but Meli's mistakes are now so legendary that all opposition teams play on him, usually, as last night, with great success. For me, Saints should pay him off and ship him out. His poor performances far outweigh his good games. Mr totally unreliable.
Meli is a joker - stealing a living and always has been.
have his usual fans got the ability to defend his performance last night?

Meli should have been dropped a long time ago after the Cas match away when four tries went in on he's side 2 of which were dropped 'bombs', believe it or not I sent a personal letter to Daniel Anderson suggesting that Meli was moved to 2nd row where he wont be exposed to the kicks, the bottom line is that guy cannot deal with high kicks Its been a problem all season and now its too late,4 times league leaders, one title to show I'm really peed off
thought meli did ok last nite to say they spotted him, hes p~ssed me off all season really but he wasnt to blame for last nite. long looked like he was up for it.. but after a couple of handling errors he didnt engage, which prety much goes for the rest of the team the didnt engage leeds, and the body languge said it was all over at 66mins. the weather did look horendous and i know how hard it is to play in that. dont think anyone was really willing to force the pass or take a chance nobody wants to be the one to fumble the ball or knock on and cough up possesion to other team...
Im not biased i dont care who beats wiganlol
He did OK with ball in hand, but he's bloody awful at retrieving kicks, particularly the high balls. It's an area in his game that has never improved and that's a worry if teams target him, like Leeds did.Originally Posted by Eddie Hemmings' Wig
