I put it down to experience. Hes a rookie in FG to begin with, and even rookier on the wing. Yes i said rookier.
Okunbor was killing it in 1st grade earlier this year, Meaney has had countless defensive errors and one intercept try and suddenly he deserves his spot and kicking duties, he is an absolute fraud and Pay PetHe didn't score but he has improved. Mainly, his defensive decisions are good and that is why he is in the team instead of Okunbor at the moment. Dean has prioritised defence and it seems to be working.
LolThere is other options but Pay wants to prove he was a worthwhile signing so will keep finding a spot in the side for him.
Fucking oathLearnt it from Tolman lol. I'd rather him gun it for the corner and fuck it up than just fuck it up because he hesitated...but still he should've had the pace to get there if he had just gone for it.
I really think Okunbur would be a better option there, he was making great meters out of our end.Lol
You really think that?
In Canterbury Cup playing great.I really think Okunbur would be a better option there, he was making great meters out of our end.
He's not perfect but I think he's a better option than Meaney.
I don't know whether he's injured or in Canterbury Cup atm.
Read my above comment. Totally disagree that his runs were weak, at least not yesterday.Meaney shouldn't be on the wing and his runs back in our own half as well as weak efforts like this finishing what should have been a try prove it.
Unless he ate a bowl of steroids for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day like Paul Gallen and turned into a roid rage Hulk, then we desperately need someone else who is physically equipped to handle contact in the NRL as a winger. Which Meaney isn't unfortunately.
Him and Holland have to be one of the worst wing/centre combos in the comp and that whole edge needs a makeover.
Agreed! I can't remember him making any massive breaks and he managed 136 meters from 15 runs.Read my above comment. Totally disagree that his runs were weak, at least not yesterday.
Agree that in the last couple of weeks his run meters have been decent, before that he was under 100m most of the time on the wing.In Canterbury Cup playing great.
I think Meaney was excellent last night in terms of run metres.
Earlier this year, he was getting monstered every kick return/scoot out of dummy half, but last night he was making post contact metres, getting quick player the balls and accelerating quick out of dummy half to get our set rolling. Not once did I remember him getting pushed back.
Ye has been playing some solid games in Canterbury Cup.I really think Okunbur would be a better option there, he was making great meters out of our end.

Before i would have definielty said Okunbor 100%. Now, with Meaney making good runs and looking much more comfortable (he is also goalkicker), it becomes a much more difficult contest...Ye has been playing some solid games in Canterbury Cup.
I’d say he would be really challenging for that wing spot
