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.

harsh on gardner - aprt from one dropped ball he took the ball up well and helped out in the forwards.

Seeing Meli on the teamsheet just reminds of what to expect. Tom Armstrong was safer under the ball.

How can a NRL/SL level winger be so poor with his catching ability.

Amazing Roberts looks like another.

Meli had a short spell when he finally returned when he seemed to have worked on his technique but is slipping back to his old performances.

Its his Brain farts that cost BIG tight games.

I nearly shat a lung when i saw him fluff at the ball on the last wigan attack.

I`ll be glad when hes gone.

What effect this has on you team mates god knows.

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

Fair enough mate

Get in there the Saints !!!!

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?

Id Take Meli over Gardner anyday .

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.

What happened to the good old sidestep of yesteryear

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.

not defencively he isn't, and that seems to be the more important role for wingers

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

sorry, thats what i meant. Ade did drop one, but generally is quite sound under kicks.

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

Amos had an absolute nightmare.
