No Merritt Awards for City Selectors

[Cumberland Throw]

Even as a Parramatta fan, I find it laughable that Jarrod Hayne was picked in front of Nathan Merritt, they are both great wingers, but if this is picked on form, its a joke,

Whats everybody think??

Merritt deserved a go.......Gower did not..

Let me get this right - you have a go at me for not being courteous, so when I actually am nice to someone about it, you still roll your eyes? Get a life and stop trolling.

 

[[furrycat]]

I'm not trolling; you should just stop being so critical of people posting. It puts them off...

 

[Timmah]

I wasn't critical at all champ - I simply pointed him in the direction of the discussion he was looking for. You exacerbating arguments such as this one is another thing that puts people off.

 

[Brycey]

Maybe he is a certainty for NSW so there was no point.

Dodger, get a fkn life ffs...nobody cares but you.

Bulldogs pointscoring machine Hazem El Masri beat out South Sydney flyer Nathan Merritt for a spot on the wing for City, coach Tim Sheens admitting El Masri's outstanding goalkicking played a significant role in his selection.

Your opinion.
Mine is backed up with fact and people telling me so via PM

Cheers

 

[Timmah]

I'll keep my opinion. You keep your PM's from your mates.

Well considering they are all NRL players being picked in an NRL rep team thread stays.

Merritt will suffer the same curse as blacklock: scores too many tries for SOO selectors.

Couldn't do much worse than the tripe Gower has been serving up this year!:lol:

says the expert of tripe.

Merritt > Hayne IMO.

El Masri deserved his spot...he COULD well be a bolter for NSW but i don't think so. The way i see it, is that King has one wing secured and the other wing (based on city country) will go to either Hazem/Amos/Morris/Hayne. I dont think i'm biased in saying Hazem would be the pick of that bunch atm. Morris needs more games before he can be considered imo.

 

[lockyno1]

Hazem also has one advantage..the ability to turn 4 into 6..and lets be frank with NSW struggling to score tries it could be a big bonus to have. At the moment NSW could be relying on Lyon as a kicker which is a big ask in a Origin game!

 

[Timmah]

I would hope Hazem's strike rate would get him in there over Lyon based on that.
Lyon hasn't been that great all over the park this year tbh, quite overrated. Been a lowlight in a star-studded backline really, Stewart, Bell, Hicks have all outshone him.

 

[lockyno1]

Lyon will be there but I have severe questions on him as a kicker in a origin game. Fitzgibbon won't be tehre and it is not as if Hazem is a bad winger, in fact I rate him as a very solid winger. His goalkicking is a bonus!

 

[Master Vippo]

Very harsh on Merritt. None out of Hazem/Amos/Morris/Hayne really deserves the other NSW wing spot. Its a tough call, there are no real wing standouts for NSW. I'd probably give it to Tahu if he gets back fit in time. Merritts size will always be against him, much like Preston.
