Re: #17: Jake Melksham - Needs a rest?
Was absolutely rooted nearing the end of the game. There was a contest on the HFF for the Pies which he royally stuffed up (Pies got a point from it) and he lost his boot. Did the slowest jog from the 50 to the bench that the ball had already made it from the kick in to a few contests up on the wing.
IIRC he was pretty happy with himself packing on size in his legs, I think this has probably come back to bite him. Not saying he's in the wrong, but that he's obviously struggling to carry those extra kgs around and it will take time for him to get used to it.
