Quote: SaintsFan "I've just watched Boots'n'All the tries and Meli was shocking in that match. I hadn't noticed how his total lack of even an attempt at a tackle let in two extremely soft tries for Hudds. He never changes, does Meli, no matter where on the field he is played. What our chairman was thinking of in re-signing him for a season after this one I have no idea but even though I really liked the look of Wheeler at 6 against Wigan, he has to be our first choice centre in the future as Meli is just a liability there (or anywhere for that matter!) for all that he scores the odd great try.'"
To be quiet honest I am bemused as to why we gave Meli another contract. He is awful on the wing and not much better in the centres. His lack of effort is the thing that really annoys me infact it infuriates me. The thing is Meli has shown on the very rare occasion before he has the ability to be a class finisher and reasonably competent in defence. His time has come to move on imo.
