Trent Merrin attack on innocent defenceless souths player.

[NAS]

It's dawned on me that whilst the media continue to wax lyrical about the Greg Inglis hit, a rather disgusting act that occurs seconds later is going overlooked.

If you watch the play immediately following the Inglis hit very closely, Dylan Farrell, who actually completes the legal tackle of Dean Young and cannot be accused of anything untoward, is attacked by Trent Merrin from behind. Merrin starts throwing bombs whilst Farrell is lying on the ground.

What follows is the melee, where Merrin and Luke Burgess are cautioned.

In the last week, we've seen Craig Field and Kieran Loveridge charged with murder by the result of assaults of this nature. Hitting a bloke from behind is never ok.

Have a look at the replay on NRL.com, you'll see what I'm taking about.

I would consider it a grave injustice if the media did not highlight this incident, with a view to making sure that Trent Merrin is appropriately scrutinised by the match review committee as well.

They brought the aggro, the Merge players. Daniel Vidot said so. Isn't that just part of the aggro?

His brother must have passed away recently.

That justifies any act by a stains player in the eyes of their fans.

 

[KiamaSaint]

The whole two minutes after the shoulder charge is pretty disgraceful. Not sure why you are picking up one player when there is like 10 in there.

:lol: Who justified Prior's elbow? I assume that's what you're crying about.

And 25 weeks for Merrin, possible attempted murder charge to boot.

Merrin is a cat, acts tough on the field but it's all smoke and mirrors, he's a marshmallow

mate fair dinkum, throwing bombs while he was on the ground. Souths fans talk about an overeaction to the ingliis hit and then claim merrin starts throwing bombs.
He didnt throw a single punch at farrell. He pushed him . At least be truthful if your going to start posts.

I cannot tell you how enjoyable it was seeing one of your favourite sons getting belted on Saturday. Do wish it could have been Prior himself, but Young will do.

i don't understand why he didn't go after that dirty, filthy merkin of a dog inglis. while i was watching it i was thinking why on earth is he going after farrell. forwards aren't the smartest people on the planet.

:lol: A d*ckhead like you enjoying a head-high tackle doesn't surprise me. All class

This is what makes me laugh....the heroes who think they are so tough because they can belittle someone on a forum.

You taken him on in real life, have you? Is that how you know he is a marshmallow?

F*ckwit!

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

It was stupid by Merrin.

He's a Souths Junior and a Prop.

 

[gronkathon]

The stupidity of every player involved was that they carried on like that when a player is prone and injured on the ground putting that player in possible further danger.

He just saw GI destroy Young, thats why.

that's exactly my point. farrell did nothing to earn his ire.

and haha to the insinuation (although just a throw away joke line) he would be scared of inglis. it's easy to be a tough guy when you blindside someone, not so easy when some meathead forward is coming at you.

Blindside? Inglis came from directly in front of him like all fullbacks do when you make a line break.

Delluded much?

 

[Timmah]

What about Inglis' knees into Mitch Rein after Young lost the ball? Or him trying to neck him as Rein played on?
