Stand up and take a bow. I've been a big critic of his but I think he has finally found his position. First choice centre next season with shenton IMO.

He was outstanding tonight in defence. Take a bow son.

Get him signed up. Best centre we've had since Jamie Lyon.

He played a belter.

But so did most of our lads tonight.

Steady.

If he keeps that up, I would have no problem at all. It is fairly obvious that he isn't made out to be winger, but he is certainly powerful enough to be moulded into a decent centre

His attack didn't surprise me. He's always been a good finisher and has the size and pace to be a destroyer of a centre with the ball. What surprised me a lot was his enthusiasm, positioning and decision making in defense. Superb tonight and I wasn't worried about him being there in the line at all, which I thought I would be.

In an interview on radio last week before the Wakey match he said that he used to play centre. Keep him there I say.

Hopefully he will stay at centre next week, ready to give Keith Senior a hard time, backed up by Wilkin giving some vocals.

He wont give Senior a hard time as he'd be on the opposite side of the pitch to him.

Meli played really well tonight, gave Matt King a torrid time.

King swapped sides near the end because he was getting no joy down Meli's flank.

Absolutely OWNED king! Great game by the big man

He didn't do much good on the other side either.

He was more mobile and he was able to go looking for work especially but not solely in defence.

Also there was someone else on the wing to field the high kicks which was never Meli's strong point.
