No big deal if Flannery or Meli go. I think both have played well enough to stay however we have youngsters coming through in both positions that can fill in admirably. Meli's finishing is something we'd miss badly, however I'm happy for us to give youth a chance because no matter what happens next year we're going to be up against it from the start with playing in Skidnes.
I think teams need to better themselves each year and improve the squad if it's possible. If meli and flannery leave and and are replaced with lomax and ashurst then imo we are already weaker next year.
Lomax and ashurst are few years off the level of meli and flannery yet, IMO flannery is the best of a avg bunch of backrows we have at saints.
Lomax looks like he'll be a very good player and could do a good job on the wing but meli is a tackle breaker and a great finisher and i think we would miss his attack.
