Quote: diehardofowld "Dont you know by now that there is, and always will be, a section of spectators who watch Saints, who need to have a scapegoat ....Meli fits the bill and before him it was Gardner.....and so it goes forward. Stats show that the lad wasnt as bad as is painted but to the few, wooden head wooden leg comes to mind.
You can talk to a man with a wooden leg all day but a wooden head,mmmm ( just to clarify, I am not advocating the purchase of a lump hammer ..... but )'"
The game at Widnes against Wire last year typified the way these clueless fools think - Meli was our best player on the night by a mile, tackling and working like a demon, stopping a certain goalline try and generally being the only Saints player to take the fight to them in any remote way, shape or form. And yet, because he made one bad pass the whole night and ran the ball into touch once he was practically run out of town and blamed for costing us the game single-handedly on the wretched "other site"'s forums the day after. You can see them at games practically coiled waiting for every single mistake that their designated scapegoat is going to make and pouncing on every single one with vitriolic glee, conveniently ignoring all the good stuff on the way... I bet they're all grooming Foster as his long term replacement even as we speak.
