Agree alot of the team made mistakes, but how on earth did he have a very good game? i dont think he had a awful game but a very good game is OTT. All i can remeber from him is a few catches off high bombs, in which the ones he caught he was hardly under pressure, and as a winger he should be taking them all the time, also managing to get to stop a drop out in the 1st half.

i dont think Meli is a bad player but i always seem to naturally wince when the ball is either kicked to him or when the opposition attack to his side. Last night you would of thought Josh Jones would of been in super league years with international caps and Meli was inexperienced in the playoff's and in his first full year.

Makinson, Lomax and Hohaia have all struggled badly at times this season, yet they've all kept their places in the team. Foster struggles, and gets dumped into the reserves and farmed out. Gaskell struggles and is binned off, seemingly never to return.

I am not accusing anyone of anything, but there are definate smacks of double standards in Rush's selections.

Agreed. It was for his own good, it is no use watching a young lad with his confidence shot screaming at himself several times a game because of mistakes. He was clearly mentally gone, dropping and loaning him might even save his career.

The same thing happened away at Salford when he first came on the scene and Potter was coach, Potter hooked him and it turned out to be a good decision.

Lets hope after a good preseason he can kick on, gain a bit of size, impress Nathan Brown and force his way into the team.

Agree with it or not this is the coach's prerogative, some coaches take a liking to some players and just dont like others , it would seem Rush isnt keen on Gaskell or Foster.

Agreed.

Jeez you say some dumb things.
