5 Suprise Packets of 2012

I think Graham will do fine. What I'm worried about is the headless chook "five eightht" (he puts it on his resume I guess) running around in circles without going anywhere.

I think Morts will do alright. He looked good at fullback at Belmore (trial form, but still lightyears ahead). The chooks may have snagged themselves a very cheap utility who will be solid.

Parra have the biggest chance to be surprise, because their halves and fullback are unpredictable as.

Justin O'Neill will make his Origin debut on the Wing in 2012. The Roosters will finish Top 4. Who said a forward will finally win a Dally M (Cameron Smith?) In any case Gallen will get it in 2012. Manly will just scrape into the 8, and be bundled out week 1. Tautau Moga to win Rookie of the year.

I know you guys hate on Merritt because hes from souths. But he should have already played origin many times before now.
If you are laughing because you know no matter how well he plays, he wont get picked. Then agreed.

He won't play because there are better players on front of him.
Gordon, Uate and Hayne are all better than him.

The back five for NSW will be any combination of:

Dugan
Hayne
Gordon
Uate
Jennings
Lawrence

Merritt doesn't even come close to those guys.

Now, but last year, years before. when most of those players were injured he should have been given a run. And as far as right now. Hayne & Jennings didnt play well last year and if they play the same this year Merritt should be over them.
And Merritt played better than everyone Uate last season, but wasnt picked.
But hey, If you want to keep the hate going on anybody from souths. Who am i to stop stupidity.

I don't think it's that simple. Lyon, the Morris brothers, Idris, Stewart etc will all come into contention. That just pushes Merritt back on the waiting list even further though.

You're right Hayne didn't play his best last year, however please point out an Origin game where Hayne has ever let the Blues down. Even some of the biggest Hayne haters going around will tell you he has never let NSW down, and has always managed to be one of our best players whether it be at Fullback, on the Wing, or in the Centres, if you seriously think Merritt can do the same then by all means, drop Hayne for him, if not then shut up and accept the fact that Merritt is simply a great club player and as Eels Dude has pointed out, there is a whole list of other players apart from the six I mentioned who would get a go ahead of Merritt.

I would be more worried about the average squad the bulldogs have. Impressive halves they have. Not

Mortimer will surprise many of his doubters from last year
Gold Coast will jump back into the 8.


I hope so as they are paying $2.95 to make the top 8, and I have put $200 on them

to be fair on pants - she prob meant games when she wrote that.

remember - winning a game to a souffs fan is like winning a premiership.
