I played centre, stand off and loose forward and take it from me, centre is the hardest position on the pitch to defend.
Its ok saying you've got players inside and out side you but if you can't read the game you will always have problems.
One missed tackle out wide against speedy centres and wingers often results in a try.

Agreed. Meli is just as (if not more) prone of doing something ridiculous in the centre than he is on the wing.
He covered well last night, but I think its a matter of time before his positional defence gets found out. Wheeler's your man for the centre, but let Meli cover there and when he's back.....
Meli for 2nd row! His angles of run combined with his power would give us some excellent penetration. Plenty of chances for big hits without worrying about compromising the line.
