Merrin is no $BW, another poor comparison.

"How can you compare the value of an edge forward with half ?"
That was your question and it was answered correctly you merkin. :crazy:

 

[Twizzle]

oh, so you mark your own answers as correct

you must be very talented

Merrin is not in the same postcode as $BW

Paulo is an edge forward, so by your logic is he worth the same as DCE ?

$700k vs $850k + 3rd party are adjoining post codes.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Would agree if there was a $400/$500k+ gap but not when the $$$ come within $250k.

 

[Chipmunk]

My cousin Derek O'Speedwagon would disagree with half of that

Is that Ari's brother?

Which Paulo? None of the Paulo's we have are edge forwards by any standard. Junior is a prop, and Sef is a lock/middle half.

Yes, Carrie and Harry's dad.

Sef Paulo

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Sef Paulo plays in the middle.

 

[Twizzle]

Much like Merrin, he occasionally does

You're the one who mentioned edge forwards and halves. I already said Merrin plays in the middle.

Anyway, SBW is in the top five players in the world. Merrin isn't, but then neither are most halves.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Paulo is an edge forward, so by your logic is he worth the same as DCE ?

For starters, Joe Paulo is a middle half (a lock variant, so a middle forward). Secondly, just because one particular forward (e.g. SBW) is worth as much as one half (e.g. DCE) doesn't mean every forward is worth he same as every half. How could he be when not even every half is worth the same as each other?

I like to have a drink when I get home from work too Twiz, but you should slow down and finish posting for the day before you hit it that hard.

Trent Merrin is worth more than Corey Norman, for example. He's probably worth as much as Jamie Soward, and less than Daly Cherry-Evans. Joe Paulo is worth less than all of them.

Not at all, I wouldn't be able to tell you the last time Sef played on the edge.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

2012

I'd agree he was in 2013. Not 2014. I dunno who was in top 5 last year but SBW looked a bit ordinary.

Thats pretty much what I was saying, you cant compare them, so not sure where you're going with this.

You can argue semantics all day about whether you consider a player to play middle or edge or whether he is considered a better player than another half, but comparing Merrin to Foran is how this started and it seems most people agree.

I don't accuse people of being drunk just because they dont agree with me. There are other ways to get your point across.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Don't worry about it. I do my best work while drunk.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Why is some of Foran's money counted as 3rd party but none of Merrin's is?

Wouldn't it be $550k+ 3P for Merrin, and around $850k + 3P for Foran?

hard to tell when he hasn't signed yet

Coz 3P are a Parra ticket, not a Penrith ticket.
