I think we might this season - from what I've seen in the pre season games we look to be trying to move the ball again, sadly when we do we have a 1 legged sloth on one wing and liability on the other

Gotta say I hope guy sorts out his family issues and I wouldnt wish him any harm but I hope his maud tells him to get a club in Aus ....

That's very unfair. in the circumstance under discussion here Meli is one of the best assets in SL.

It is only fair to criticise Meli's brainfarts in defence, but that wasn't being discussed.

Um. That makes him a liability.

exactly my point

Re: Meli gone home : Tue Jan 26, 2010 4:50 pm  

But his defence wasn't under discussion. Go back and read what was written. It was about throwing the ball about and to the wings whilst attacking. In such circumstance Meli is an asset.

Right at the moment Meli is completely effin' useless to Saints because he's on the other side of the world, but making such a point whilst talking about the attacking style of play and his contribution to the team therein would be equally irrelevent and thus unfair and gratuitous.

Just making the same obvious dig because of the grand finals etc. is so one dimensional. Surely you've got more about you than that. Surely you're more than capable of recognising shades of grey, you know, pluses amd minuses and all that. It's such complexities that make discussion interesting.

but almost everyones agrees on the main points ie
1) Meli was great for alot of last season and our best player in many matches creating alot of our go forward
2)Point 1 is irrelevant as when it matters he undoes all his hard work with stupid errors not befitting a league 1 player, let alone an international.
