Best player for Saints by a country mile. Feel so sorry for the guy for yet another brain fart at old trafford. Stick him in the second row where he would belong in the NRL, after a number of mistakes on the wing.



I feel sorry for Meli tonight. Great effort, unlucky mate.

To be fair, I think that Saints' achievements should be considered even greater for doing so well and coming within 8 points of a Championship win with two of the worst wingers in the whole competition



Ade Gardner got a better break than Matt. Thats all it boils down to!!

Meli made a couple of crucial and daft mistakes. We let in a soft try from dummy half.



But you could also argue that a lack of cutting edge kept it such a close game were a couple of errors was always going to be the difference.



We made a mass of yards, but were generally toothless the nearer we got to their line. How many drops outs did we force, how often did we look like scoring? Not enough considering the territory we won.



Massive effort from the Saints, could have gone either way.

both our wingers' mistakes cost us the game

I'm fed up hearing this. The guy - however great going forward he is - is an utter incompetant clown when it comes to dealing with pressure situations defending. He can bugger off now for all I care.

a winger has only 2 jobs, score tries and defend kicks, you fail mr meli

But really he had a typical game tonight. We can wax lyrical about how he should of just taken that ball for a drop out instead of trying to palm it but he was better than Wellens in returning the game over the whole eighty tonight

thats gash, wello made 60 metres in just 2 returns!

You make a thread for Meli, yet no thread for Ade (the test fu*king thing since slice bread) Gardner ? Gardner is the winger we need rid of. Meli makes brain farts, as fans we know this. As fans we know he is also a very good player when the ball is in his hands. So use him to his strength, stick him in the second row. Gardner on the other hand is complete nob jockey! I hate him with a passion, he is crap! he is sh*t! words cannot describe how crap Gardner is! He is worse than Rikki Sherrife! The guy would not gain a starting berth at Bold Miners or Blackbrook! SH*TE!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Francis Meli's Mum.

Flannery was Saints m.o.m. by a long way.
