Clearly its Meli's fault that he isnt here, and it cant be good for team harmony if he ever arrives.

I don't care what the lad sounds like, i would have him over meli any day, his language skills are of no importance. He could be the Forrest Gump of superleague as long as he can catch and run who cares?

Same I'd love to see Ainscough in the Red V and I dont care if he's thick as 2 short planks lol

Based on his interview, I don't think so. He would be an embarrasment to the club, he can't string two words together. Imagine him being on Junior Mastermind.

Why would you imagine him on Junior Mastermind he is a pro rugby player didnt realise you needed a degree to play it.

“It is possible he is working hard back in New Zealand – there is an element of trust here and hopefully he is doing the right thing for himself and the team and he arrives in a healthy state if he gets his visa."

It sounds alot like saints don't have a clue when this will be resolved. If we are paying him i would expect him to be keeping himself trained and if the visa fiasco is his fault we should sack him now. Its his responsibilty! Possibly the laziest man ever!

In the circumstances we are told there is every possibility the club is not paying him during this period.

Who's fault is this, is it meli or is it the club's? If I was Meli and been told I am no longer being paid due to this hicup, and I knew it want my fault, I would of course be making my employer pay me...

Anyways, we have young Tom now, already better than Kevin Penny and Meli put together.

Think this is a fairly strong hint that Potter has no idea whether or not Meli is sticking to the training programmes being sent to him.

All will be revealed!

Unless Potter has someone over there training him, or watching him, then he wouldn't know. Meli doesn't seem the kind of guy to put himself out and do the extra training though.

If there is anyway, Saints should just get shut. It isn't even as if he's a top class player and will be worth waiting for.

Heard a rumour today that saints want to sack meli...

Not sure what for, will try to grill the informant for further details!
