What the fug has Nathan Merritt got to do, to even get into a train on squad? Score 30 tries? :x

Nathan it seems has been marked to never play rep footy ever after what he said a few years ago when overlooked for rep duties. The selectors would rather go with gimicks than talent!
he is a bum
Yeah I know it's sad really. They'll find someone to take his place in the dreamtime side.Im not sure why you guys are suprised, he cant even get a city v country selection.
I feel the poor bloke cant do much more to push for rep selection, you would think he'd have to be a shoe in for dreamtime side next year... would hate to see him over looked for that one.
I cant understand his non selction. I wouldnt trade him for any other fullback in the game at the moment. He looks to of nailed the move to fullback after struggling when moved there before. His support play down the centre of the ruck is second to none, he is rock solid under the high ball, his defence is soild, not many guys have run him down when in the clear and he has the habit of scoring tries out of nothing. Nathan in the squad would give you a fullback who is just as comfortable on the wing whereas the likes of slater,stewart and Hunt are out and out fulbacks who struggle on the wing. Over the next couple of seasons he could become one of the premier fullbacks in the game.

Mate i think we should send Fa'logo over to the selectors houses to knock some sense into them.
Merrit should have at least made the train on squad. He should also have shut up two years ago when he didn't get picked.
Not saying that what he said was wrong, but the blazer wearing morons who go under the title of "selector" like to make examples of insubortinates.
Feel for Merrit. He's a good player, if not a little mercurial. Goes completely missing at times. Reminds me of Blacklock.
