he is the form winger of the comp, and he has shown his form is permanant which equals class, he has shown his potential for 1 and a half years now, theres no turning back for max.
he should of been there in the first place, and NSW need to make wholesale changes anyway, and you would think Merritt should be next in line, he was first but got pushed back.
El Masri is an average player, his goalkicking is his saviour, without that i reckon he would be in Premier League, defence is poor, unless something is given to him on a platter, he shows absolutely no attack, and under the high ball he is definately prone.
I rate Covell just as much as El Masri, there is no difference in their games seriously, both slow as a turtle.
Now Gus Gould has said the word, Merritt will be In, Gus Gould has very strong links with NSW as we know.
