I think Wigan have been sniffing around him recently with his contract due to expire this year. I think he could be international if he gets a good run of games but is wasted at centre IMO. I'd like to see him at Full Back or Stand Off were he would have more input into a game but the Saints board would go into meltdown at the suggestion of not playing Gaskell.

Saints fans dislike for Meli is like some wiganers dislike for Goulding theyre both threatening solid players theyre good players.


Imagine having Mathers in your team thats something to complain about.

A lot of Saints fans don't like Meli yet as a Wigan fan I always see him as one of their biggest threats. The problem with him though is inconsistency.

He's great one week and terrible the next. There seems to be no inbetween with him.

If Wheeler can stay fit this kid is a class act and will be an international within two years.

I have had arguments with other Saints fan where his best position is and personally I think stand off but others say centre.

I'd say looking purely at his physical shape, that he's a stand-off. Certainly if you look at Wheeler's build in comparison with our own Josh Charnley, then there's a marked difference. Then again physical body shape has not always been a determining factor in deciding what position a players is most suited too. Thinking about it, forget all I've wrote, it's BS.

Have I wandered onto the Stains forum?
