Meli is actually doing really well at centre. He works hard in bringing the ball away, tackles well and is no longer in a position to cost us the game with a stupid mistake every week. Had he played centre all his career, he'd have done far better than he did starring as a dodgy winger.

could have fooled me on Friday.

or does tackling well mean picking the wrong man, being offside 99% of the time and being generally below the standard of everyone else on the pitch (including slug Wellens?)?

Right seeing as we are being linked with everyman and his dog i might create a rumours thread to lump everything into one thread.

Where does that notion originate from? He's still ageing like everyone else, so will still slow down like everyone else, and he'll still lose match sharpness like everyone else and he'll still have longer recovery periods than that of most younger players too (in the main).

Pretty simple really.

He started back in the NRL after leaving the bins at 23 I think maybe later, means his body has had to put up with less top level rugby then someone who's been playing before then.

Good luck to the bloke. Fair play. Earned his corn with us and will go down as one of the best I have witmessed in the P&B.

Could have sulked off after a year, but stayed and proved why Cullen and Moran brought him over originally. Also top marks off the field too.

If true, then congrats Kingy. Good luck.

I think he has been good these last few seasons... but one of the best in P&B?

Somebody's written an article, so it's in tablets of stone that it's going to happen.

Same article, Roddy

Like I said earlier, I'll wait for King's/the club's statement before saying "brilliant, he's staying/thanks for the memories, Matt"
