Nathan Merritt

[Hutty1986]

At least a turnstile will slow someone down. Jamie Soward got a blue Jersey and he can't even manage that. Most people don't even break stride when running through Soward.

lol, haven't watched any Dragons games for about three years I take it? Soward's defence has improved big time.. and even if it was still 2009-esque, he'd still be a better defender that Nathan 'the myth Merritt. Good on him for scoring lots of tries. He'll still never play Origin, unless there's about half a dozen backline injuries.

Merritt is f**ken shit :lol:

And if it is not Merritt leaking all these points. It must be the souffs forwards.

Maybe Merritt and the forwards are all shit merkins lol

^ lol@souffs!

Wow that is terrible!

Does that guy even have a brain?!

Origin material

lol

If one mistake kills a players chances of Origin then both Slater and especially Hodges would never have played after their first games.

nathan merritt couldn't even count to potato.

LOL there is no way Merritt is getting near a blue jersey right now. A few years ago, perhaps, although he could never really defend...but there is NOTHING he does that Morris, Hayne or Gordon can't do better when they are on the wing!!!

Nah, just an example though and a funny one at that

Ignoring Merritt (as they will do) is disgusting. Disgusting.

Hayne isn't within a hundred miles of him. Its not even close to being debatable which man is superior.

 

[Amadaca]

Another interesting thing to note. Merritt is two tries away from scoring more tries than any player who has ever played the bulk of their football for the Dragons.

Yet another amazing stat.

1 Ken Irvine 212 - Norths / Manly
2 Steve Menzies 180 - Manly
3 Andrew Ettingshausen 165 - Sharks
4 Terry Lamb 164 - Dogs
5 Hazem El Masri 159 - Dogs
6 Matt Sing 159 - Roosters / Cowboys
7 Harold Horder 152 - Souths
8 Bob Fulton 147 - Manly
9 Frank Burge 146 - Glebe / Saints
10 Nathan Merritt 145 - Souths
11 Benny Wearing 144 - Souths
11 Billy Slater 144 - Storm

Every other player in the top eleven has represented their state and or country.

​

Id laugh if it wasn't so sad. As a NSWmen, it makes me sick seeing Hayne get picked while Merritt goes hungry.

Its pathetic.

Hayne probably has Merritt on talent. Merritt turns up every game.

Hayne hasn't got a thing on Merritt. Not a thing.

 

[slammingsam]

Hayne is the most over rated footballer of the century. He is an average winger at best who is living off 10 good games in 2009.

 

[Fire]

merritt can't play footy.

lol embed fail

Funny though, I didnt see Slater drop the ball cold mid stride so I really dont see the comparison

Merritt = shit

 

[The Showstopper]

Merrit would be targeted by Qld and absolutely run over the top of. He is not an origin player.

Hayne is the most over rated footballer of the century. He is an average winger at best who is living off 10 good games in 2009.

I'm trying to think of a more over-rated guy in the 25 years I've been watching the game, & while there may have been one, they sure aren't jumping out at me.

Anyone who rates Hayne above Merritt should be slapped.
