I've not read any rugby paper but isn't that what I just said?
Just for the record, not all players are over the moon at Royce losing his job, the was a few that was disappointed but not many.
One played in the u20s before the game and stormed off the pitch without doing the walk around with his team mates after the game.

No, he was just our best and most consistent player in that position over the whole of the 2009 and 2010 seasons (2009 GF brain explosion excepted) and our only threat out wide since Gidley's decline, that's all. But he made a lot of mistakes and was a bit pants in 2007 and 2008 which fits in nicely with our pre-formed opinions, so he must have been pants ever since, right?
God give me strength....

He was our ONLY player in that position over the whole of 2009 and 2010 (left wing, just before you get y). Although he did play in centre for a bit during Potter's reign and most people on here were relieved when he did because he was a defensive nightmare and will continue to be so until the day he retires.

OK..... I'll rephrase around your pedantry/denseness, whichever it is in this case.
He was our most consistent game-in, game-out performer [iincluding all other players in all other positions in the team[/i, being fairly solid defensively and our only attacking threat in the 3/4s, over the whole of the 2009 and 2010 seasons. He also [icoincidentally[/i played left wing most of the time in that period.
Do you see now, or should I buy a lump hammer to bang the point home further?

| Dont you know by now that there is, and always will be, a section of spectators who watch Saints, who need to have a scapegoat ....Meli fits the bill and before him it was Gardner.....and so it goes forward. Stats show that the lad wasnt as bad as is painted but to the few, wooden head wooden leg comes to mind.
You can talk to a man with a wooden leg all day but a wooden head,mmmm ( just to clarify, I am not advocating the purchase of a lump hammer ..... but )

| I think Meli has suffered by leaving his howlers for the most high profile of games.
If he had done that at a CC cup draw at Barrow away then no-one would even have noticed it.
Sadly when the game boils down to 80 minutes at the end of the year, any mistakes in the GF are amplified as at that point the other 20+ rounds count for next to nothing due to the set up of the league.

The game at Widnes against Wire last year typified the way these clueless fools think - Meli was our best player on the night by a mile, tackling and working like a demon, stopping a certain goalline try and generally being the only Saints player to take the fight to them in any remote way, shape or form. And yet, because he made one bad pass the whole night and ran the ball into touch once he was practically run out of town and blamed for costing us the game single-handedly on the wretched "other site"'s forums the day after. You can see them at games practically coiled waiting for every single mistake that their designated scapegoat is going to make and pouncing on every single one with vitriolic glee, conveniently ignoring all the good stuff on the way... I bet they're all grooming Foster as his long term replacement even as we speak.
