I concur.
B*******s!!!

Mr Meli is a fantastic player and his presence in the side will lift our backline. Get him back in as soon as possible.

Don't get me wrong ... if he's at fault for this debacle then he needs his wrists slapping and deserves a bit of stick.

What I'm not looking forward to is a renewed spell of several people around me in the popular side blaming Meli for things that are happening on the other side of the pitch, and inventing something that he's done wrong every time he touches the ball. If nothing else, it's friking tedious.

Dux, the bloke was getting murdered by fans int he game against Warrington. What fricken hope does he have when he does return?

Zero.

You're being kind

Trot on junior - isn't it time you changed your signature??



As for Franny - if he is up to fitness then i'd consider him for a 60mins stint - he owes the club a lot so it will be interesting how the next 6-8 weeks go with him.

Cant say I actually wanted him back but if were paying for him and he counts on the cap then we might as well have him available, especially as we look paper thin on cover for the outside backs, we had a standoff on the wing in the last game and that isnt a good position to be in imo.

Just to put this half back on the wing debate into perspective; did we not play Jammer on the wing once?

lol during a game?

Admittedly, it was the Midlred years, but I distinctly remember it. And no, clever dicks, I'm not getting him confused with Ian Hardman

I thought he played James Roby there once (v London Broncos?)

Did Jammer ever play for Milward?

I am trying to find the 2005 last gasp win at Warrington. I am sure to my teeth that Jammer is on the wing in that one.

www.saints.org.uk/saints.org.uk/ ... ?page_id=7 He was not in the team.

Fishy needs to get that bugged fixed...

But, I am going mad.

Two things. If he was "up to fitness" he'd be able to play the full 80. Secondly, why would you play a winger for only 60 munutes. You'd have to have a winger/back on the bench and that would significantly impact our forward capabilities. We'd be a prop lite on the bench.

Good to have him back but he doesn' deserve to be near the squad until maybe Hull at home over easter.

He shouldn't just walk into the team. he needs to prove that:

A) He is fit. Mentally and phsyically.
B) Up to date with Potters plans/training stuff etc
C) He deserves it. Armstrong is doing fine, until he plays badly then he stays in the team.

Get him in the 2nd row, No Puletua friday

The Goon is correct.
Shown up good stylee by Nick Bradley-Koalabear.

Get him in from the start. 60 minutes to destroy Ryan Hall, like he did in the Grand Final

Score a hatrick get a well earned rest and be replaced for the last 20 by Maurie.

Im sure Roby also played on the wing once at Leeds?

Not bad for a gowg (grumpy old Wigan git) eh.

But I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday morning.

A real reply to this, in an anti wigoon voice would be "your moma".. but I am to amture to say such a thing, so I will go for "you missed breakfast, and just had an early luncheon at the Beeches in standish?

He did - but at and against The Broncos.

Any player returning from injury or long term absence isn't up to "match fitness" - at the start of a season everyone is the same boat so it doesn't matter but now everyone else is 5 games in he would tire out much quicker. How does any player return from injury without being spelled? Not neccesarily the Leeds game as it is a big one but unless he plays some part of games he'll never get that level of fitness from training alone.

We don't have to have a winger on the bench - if he feels ok after 60 leave him on - if not stick Gilmour there he is still quicker than our wingers as it is.

and just on C) - Tom wasn't in the team against Salford what makes you think he'd be back in this week? Not that i don't agree he has done well enough so far just wonder if Potter hasn't seen enough...and if you drop every player for playing badly once god help them!
