Quote John Gilbert Reds="John Gilbert Reds"Meli has been dreadful in defence. If it hadn't been for the walk in tries he's scored this season, he'd be in for a lot more stick.
I said at the start, the guy is way past it as far as wingers go. If you want the best out of him put him in the centres.
Thankfully he's only on a 12 month contract.'"
Meli isn't going to score many (if any) from 30+ yards out anymore but he's big, powerful and takes some stopping near the try line. The problem is his lack of speed now chasing back if an opposition player makes a break.
I think Noble just brought him in for a year, like a few others, to add some experience and don't laugh . . winning mentality!!
