Got to say Ade did have a great season a couple of years back when he still had pace, and he was busting through tackles left right and centre.
Just doesnt look good enough anymore.

Meli can be amazing on form, but we all know he suffers some serious brain farts.

Great player with an even better sence of humour. Said to Long you go out looking like a scuffy pineapple and I will look like Minnie Mouse

"FEED" the Meli and he will score... "FEED" him....

Indeed, defo that mould of freaky kid syndrome. Great talent.

Meli was awesome and Gardner's got more to give. I agree that he could do with slimming down, a bit like Scully said of himself when he made one of his comebacks so the importance of balance is clearly recognised at Saints. But why have so many of our players started to look too big up top?

the is few looking a bit big around the belly.

Can anyone remember when Gardner last scored anywhere near the sticks or came inside when there's a break on and scored a try similar to the one Meli scored against Hudds at Warrington the other week. He seems stuck in the tracks on the outside apart from when he wanders in from the defensive line which often proves costly. I do agree he has improved under the high ball but a bit of coaching re positional freedom may not go amiss.

enjoyed watching Meli probably one of about only 3 that i would have paid.

When he's not making brainfarts, Meli is a good player. When he makes those cock-ups though...

Ade's been shocking all season for me though. What little pace he had has gone now. I think Gidley could probably beat him in a foot race.

Slightly harsh!

He was totally stripped for pace by Stephen Wild during the Semi Final.

I still don't think Gidley is faster than Ade! Wild would have skinned Gidley too for pace.

Ade looked livelier and a bit more confident on Friday night. Not his old self but better than I've seen him for some time.

Neither of our wingers has pace, we all know that and so does everyone else. That seemed to be ok when DA was here in that it didn't lose us matches or anything. Nowadays, though, it's like our pace is being exposed at every turn.
