Merrin dumped from blues

[Bring back choc]

Merrin has been dropped for game 3. Great for us as he'll play bs Newcastle. I do feel for him though. He was given very limited game time. In saying that he'll be good for the experience.

 

[mightydragon]

Never gave him a go in both games. Welcome home Trent, use this as motivation.

 

[Tweek]

So annoyed by this. I personally would not have chose him in my team but they did, gave him very limited game time than drop him for the third game. They should have given him a chance after picking him.

 

[Bingerz]

So long as they continue to see him as the future i'm fine with it, might even give hi the extra motivation to take more steps forward

 

[Spartan - Dragon]

They opted fro Galloway cause he has more mongrel in his game... thats fine Merrin is sno where near his peak anyway will develop into a fine front rower..

 

[ghostface]

It's a real shame i think he will be a better player for the experience. Ah well good to have him back on board.

 

[ghostface]

His form has dipped a little since the origin period, could be fatigue, but in his last 3 games he hasn't notched over 100 metres. Ricky Stuart is still a dick for dropping him...

 

[Wobbygong]

Prefer to have Morris back, save us the embarrassment of Simmonds. Also a little wKe up call for Merrin so next time he makes origin he'll rip in more I thought he show them what he was capable in game one and was a passenger for 14 mins in game 2. Its a good learning curve for him and will only make him hungrier next time.

Debuting Galloway in a decider at Suncorp is a risk.

Why Trent was picked in the first place was a mystery.

Oh well, nice to have our 3rd best prop back.

 

[Tim Smith]

Maybe Wayne can move Prior to the Centres now and Stanley to the wing with Merrin back

 

[Dragon]

Didn't get much game time and it was probably a strange decision to put him there in the first place, he will get another chance one day. Galloway deserves the spot he has been on fire

A conspiracy to drive up his value against our salary cap.

For the record, I honestly believe that by the time Merrin peaks at around 25 or 26, he will be arguably the best prop we've seen in a looooong time.

Why would he move Stanley onto the wing?

 

[God-King Dean]

He'll play for Oz one day no doubt, but I don't think he was ready. tbh, Hunt deserved it more than him.

 

[Minh]

He'll bounce back bigger and better, in almost all team sports the great players have been dumped at some stage in their careers and come back the better for it.

 

[Charles Bronson]

I'm hoping this experience motivates him get the best out of himself, he really does have a very good potential and we know what he is capable of.

 

[Cagey Mac]

He'll get a chance against the Knights on Sunday and the Gallen, Douglas and Snowcone in a couple of weeks

Might be something in that. It all really started with that phantom Aussie call-up rubbish. May be the reason Prior found his name mentioned last week as well.

Michael Jefferey Jordan was cut from his High School Basketball team!!! that high school basketball coach and any of his family should never be allowed near a basketball court again!!

He'll be fine... as a matter of fact he will tear Newcastle a new one this weekend...
