Merrin starts and plays 60-80mins or he doesn't get picked
Surely Merrin is a straight swap for Gallen?
Unless manly are trying to sign a forward from NSW that is
He's going to the Panthers so probably not.NSW aren't going to pick James Tamou again - ever. Surely?
It really depends on what happens with hayne for the rest of the backline. Bird is a talented kid but is struggling lately (although he was certainly pretty good against the raiders) but he is carrying an injury.
It really depends on how folk start next year imo. If BJ is playing at this level next year he will be hard to leave out. Croker will always have to wear the too small tag like coote but BJ is the size of a backrower.,
At this point in time it would be on reputation only, and out of position to boot.3.Jarryd Hayne
I would suggest Leilani Latu instead. Stood up pretty well to the vaunted Dogs pack yesterday. Jake is a tad overrated IMHO.15.Jake Trbojevic

We can kill QLD with the our line speed when that bench comes on. Klem and Friz go into the front row rotation after the opening 25-30 mins
Jake is underrated, easily the better brotherAt this point in time it would be on reputation only, and out of position to boot.
