I`m surprised someone didnt chin him at half time.'"


I honestly thought Wello was going to.

About 10 mins before that try he ran into Wello in the same spot

tbh Meli is a joke of a player and simply not good enough for a top SL team like Saints. The guy might make yards with ball in hand but he is a complete liability and I'm just glad he was only up against Roberts who is possibly worse.

Quote: Random Male "Re Gardner. He collected the ball on the bounce with 2 wigan players in front of him, about 10m apart. He had plenty of space to try and go round the opposite winger and back himself, but instead he comes inside, jogs for a bit, then walks into the defender and falls over. Does he not have the confidence to at least try and beat a man?'"

What happened to the good old sidestep of yesteryear icon_rolleyes.gif

Roberts had an off night tonight but has been very good for the last couple of months.

Not commenting on Meli but Roberts is a good winger.

Which is worrying because Meli is better than Gardner.

Meli's defence is pretty damn strong. What lets him down is his total lack of ability when it comes to dealing with kicks.

I dont think Meli played that badly at all apart from his shocker in the first half.

Amos had an absolute nightmare.

i always say that he never runs the ball with any pace and then just falls to the ground. icon_rolleyes.gif

Meli didnt have much to do fielding kicks really which is a good job because the ones he did get he mainly c0cked up. Right near the end with us winning he made another mess of one but lucky for us we got away with it.

As per the other comments Meli is ok with his tackling when players are running at him but then you'd expect that from a man as big and strong as him

Quote: Saint from Prestwich "can someone put Meli on the next plane home to NZ.He cost us the try and nearly handed Wigan possession back in the last minute when he couldn't catch a basic kick.'"


Any positive comments about our performance?................... Thought not.
We won FFS and in atrocious conditions. Or were you so geared up mentally for a defeat that you had to come on here anyway and spout negative crap? I really don't know why you bother.

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time - "You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more" Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44308.gif



I think meli has done ok this year but can't take any type of kick. High or along the ground he has huge problems.

Gardner is pretty good under high kick but that's all he's good at.

Gardner is like a magnet to the other teams defence! He just runs straight at the defence. He won't try and beat a man.

He is also very slow and weak in defence.

I'd take meli over him anyday.
