20. Jonny Lomax
11. Tony Puletua,

I think Wheeler is better 7 then lomax hopefullt he will become full back after wello, Wheeler can guide us with pryce.

i would just bin meli he is a waste of space i would have foster on the wing give him some experiance and he can kick the goals.

Soliola will be great in centre he just need to get a few games there and he will be dangours.

I am also well impressed with Scarsbrook looks very impressive and could be perfect for are team.

21 tries in 20 SL appearances last season without a recognised centre inside him. If only all our outside backs were that terrible.

1. Wellens
2. Armstrong
3. Shenton
4. Wheeler
5. Foster
6. Pryce
7. Lomax
8. McCarthy-Scarsbrook
9. Roby
10. Graham
11. Soliola
12. Ashurst
13. Wilkin

14. Puletua
15. Clough
16. Flannery / Dixon
17. Scott Moore

Id like to see how some of the younger players would go against good Super League opposition, its an ideal spot to try them out IMO, no pressure and they'll be playing out of their skins to try and get a 1-17 squad position for the year.

Look at most of his try walkins ?? anyone could score them. Think how many tries he give away he is terrible can hardley catch a ball under kicks !

P.s He lost us a grand final to.

Kin ell. Season hasn't started and the Meil bashing has begun.

Might aswell set the tone for the season though.

Poor the other day aswell in pre-season should of let him go and let one of the young one step up

I'm not meli's biggest fan and also not his biggest critic but last seasons scoring record with no out and out centre, no halfbacks for most of the year and swapped between centre and wing is outstanding!

No way was his tries walk-ins, his finishing close to the line is as good as anyones in rugby league!

However, his mistakes out weight his positives and makes far to many mistakes.

I would agree with that.

For all that he might have been the player to score the most tries, I bet he was also one of the players if not the player that let in the most, too. To get a good idea of Meli's value as a winger, the attacking capability that he is has to be balanced against the defensive liability that he is.

It's a shame really as he'd make a good centre if he didn't make wrong defensive calls.

Hes so frustrating to watch!

Yup! He drives me nuts, in all the unenjoyable ways.

Did you expect anything else???? Scott Moore will be next!
