I feel like crying. The place just won't be the same.

As much as I've hated him for his Grand Final mistakes, for the rest of his time at Saints he's been fantastic. We'll definitely be significantly weaker on the wings next season without him.

Meli has his faults but lets be honest he has given us outstanding service for 8 seasons and apart from his blunders in GF's he has been a quality winger for St Helens that there is no question.

Bye bye Mr Meli. He's been good at time, terrible at others. We'll miss his go forward but not his brainfarts

Always thought he looked good at centre.

At least the fans have got their succession planning sorted - new scapegoats have been identified and the transition is happening.

Vastly underrated and berated player for high profile mistakes - for all the fans who will be happy to see Meli leave it will leave us without any strike power on the wings next season - for which I am expecting them to moan about that too.
Good luck to you - at least I thought you were always worth your place in the team

Has been a very good player for us - I wish him all the very best.

Re: Meli to Salford confirmed... : Tue Jul 02, 2013 10:56 am  

Big-game blunders notwithstanding, he has been our best back for the last four years.

Re: Meli to Salford confirmed... : Tue Jul 02, 2013 10:59 am  

Glad to see he has gone and should have happened 5 years ago. Top professional players simply can't have that many errors in their game.

Salford is his level.

Probably about the right time but still sad. He's been our best back for at least the last 4 years and our only wide threat at all since Gidley faded. He'll be sadly missed and we'll be significantly weaker without him. The plebs who point-blank refuse to remember anything but the GF blunders will no doubt be happy though.
