It seems players and coaches think long and hard about joining Salford and then join (Kevin Locke, BJB confirmed, Michael Dobson strongly rumoured, Gil Dudson and Darrell Goulding less strongly rumoured).

The way he's approached his ownership this year is to not accept failure. We (RL as a whole and Salford specifically) have a long and proud tradition of aiming low. Sometimes we miss, sometimes we hit, but we've always aimed low. Marwan doesn't aim low. Sometimes he misses, sometimes he hits, but he doesn't aim low. I know which one I'd rather have, and maybe that's what attracts people to the club (and upsets opposition fans so much).

True. Whoever comes in (Dobson or Sneyd) needs to be, at one and the same time, a leader and someone who'll play second fiddle to Rangi. It's a difficult one, but if we can find the right combination we'll get more out of Rangi.

I think whoever will be partnering Chase next year will have to have a top all round kicking game because this is one of Rangi's weaknesses for me. Either Dobson or Sneyd are more than capable. Sneyd edges it on the goal kicking where Dobson I feel would edge it on organising the team.

Two more expensive Brian Noble mistakes.

I think Meli was also expensive mistake, scored a few tries I agree but his defence is woeful and on a big salary...

Scored more trys then any other Salford player.

11 players have missed more tackles then him.

and 11 players on a hell of a lot less than him, that's the point

I don't get it!!!

Meli the scapegoat. Although i think the rest of the season he should play in the centres.

It's an irrelevant point! Because he's well paid he shouldn't make mistakes?

Smith, Hansen, Chase, Morley, Hock, S'au, Gleeson and Tasi are all above him in the missed tackles list.

They're probably the biggest paid players at the club.

To put it in perspective with regards Meli's 'Woeful Defence', he's not even in the top 50 for all Super League players.

Only chase and Williams have a worse tackle: miss tackle ratio though, which should be used when comparing peoples defence



Meli will score you a boat load, but he'll also concede a boatload

could of told you that at the start of the season!

I was hoping for Meli at centre when we signed him
