I know of two wingers saints spoke to and believe me, Meli is better.
Yeah, he is. But you don't know what's been on the market.
The likes of Greg Eden (Potential to be as good as Billy Slater according to our new coach), Josh Griffin, Zak Hardaker, Jodie Broughton, Ashley Williams, Joel Moon, Joel Monaghan, Darryl Millard, Damien Blanch are players who have moved in the time we've been giving Meli extensions and that's just off the top of my head.
I've questioned whether it's because the focus has been entirely on the new ground. If it was that, fair enough, but I'm not convinced. Saints just seem to lack ambition. When did we last sign a young player from the Championship for example? When did we last make an impressive signing of any sort?
We've either clocked off when it comes to recruitment and squad building because of the stadium, OR it's an area McManus struggles in. Which is it?
