So using that logic,drop the whole first 17,fill it up with kids because,you never know what we have got unless we see it in action.

I trust the coaches at the club keep an eye on the junior players and decide when they are ready for their first team debut.I very much doubt Meli has kept any youngster out of the first team,unless you mean Foster!

Dude, why get so angry? It's only a forum and it's only rugby, there's no need to be getting so personal.

Take it from one with experience - it's the only way

I'dve been banned a long, long time ago if I'd kept on trying to bash any sense into her. The "ignore user" button is a godsend.

I tried that button but with every body else quoting her inane ramblings I ended up reading everything she wrote anyway.

Normally I would ignore her,but when she accuses me of personal insults which I haven't given, and then proceeds to insult me ( Read her last post prior to mine ) I'm afraid I took the bait. If everybody would stop quoting her I would go back to using the Ignore user button. Unfortunately a lot of posters on here rise to the bait she lays down ( although I genuinely think she believes the drivel she posts ) and that option is of no use.

Thing is though, the Salford player just ran between the two of them and they were running alongside him. It's not like they were facing him. The three of them were running together. There would have been no loss to the outside if Meli had tackled the Salford player as he was on Meli's inside and they were all going in the same direction.

And anyway, I just learned this morning that Meli has made all of 20 tackles this season, and missed 10. So he does hardly any work in defence and then when he does he fluffs half of it. That to me is a very good reason to give a young local player a chance.
