Nathan Merritt

[Mr Angry]

Did not want that.

But it happened.

 

[Jono078]

Hate to say it, but went down just as I thought it would for him...

 

[Mr Angry]

lol @ QLDers who for years called us idiots.

Then again was it a trap.......

So many laughed and saidyou dont pick.

We do you target him. And own us.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Nathan f**king Meritt. Don't put your f**king hand up ever again.

I died a little tonight. Really I didn't want him to play badly.. His a top bloke, but games like that happen.. Farah was dumped for years after a shocker.

The truly baffling thing is how Pearce remains.

He practiced all off season and blew his wad in Game 1. All he has is a ball to Lewis. Nothing else at all

I wanted to eat my words tonight. I wanted Merritt to show me to know absolutely nothing about footy.

Unfortunately it turns out I am the doyen of footy that I always believed I was :sarcasm:

Never let this merkin near a rep jersey again. Absolutely pathetic effort. Missed more tackles than he made tonight. Let in more points than he gained metres as well.

f**k him off, never to play again. Another media darling selection costs us

 

[HowHigh]

I feel sorry for Merritt. He was the worst player on the field by a mile but I blame the selectors for it really. Was it ever going to be a different result with him there?

Farah's 'shocker' performance was like that of an Immortal compared to what Merritt did tonight

 

[Packy]

haha what a clusterf**k. Soo many of us called it but remained optomistic. We got shat on fella's.

Can't wait to hear the usual "wasn't his fault" from the press and players as if we don't watch as much if not more footy than them.

This thread will be fun.

I spent the last month writing essays on why Merritt isn't as good as Ferguson but whatever Ferguson acted like a genius and this is what happens.

Origin does require a certain level of physical presence. His positional play was garbage but so was Morris. The real problem was the forwards though. As I said in the game day thread mal only played papalii out of charity. The Queensland pack probably gets beat up more playing a club game. It was soft and an area nsw should have done the job.

 

[user_nat]

Pretty much a par performance for a NSW winger.

 

[Burwood]

Apparently Mundine is already on his way to Brisbane so he'll be able to offer Merritt support when they fly back to Sydney together tomorrow.

Laurie Daley has just said that it was his plan for Merritt to come in and jam Inglis.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

At least he won't have to clean his jersey to frame it.

f**king disgrace

Lucky he doesn't frame it inside out. He woull have to get the marshmallow stains off the inside.

Laurie Daley has just said that it was his plan for Merritt to come in and jam Inglis.

Yeah fergo did it once or twice in game 1. The raiders do it a lot so I just thought it was a raiders thing but if Daley is coaching them to do it its puzzling because inglis will beat his man quite a lot and bammo overlap

 

[gronkathon]

Sending a guy half his size to jam in. Champagne coaching

 

[betcats]

Merrits try scoring ability was huge for the blues tonight.

That might have been the plan but it has to be followed with a certain amount of common sense, unfortunately Merritt showed none of that common sense tonight
