Re: Keep Meli in the centres campaign! : Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:17 pm
Ok maybe I'm having 2nd thoughts.After the hype of Saturday, I've just watched Boot's and all the tries and O'Connor makes a good point. Meli had to make just 5 tackles against a young centre.
Where as Shenton made 22+ tackles against one of the most experienced centres in the game.
Maybe Meli's defence was just not tested as much as it could have been, or should have been.
Although Shenton did let a try in by running out of the line which Meli did not, so who knows.
