How is El Masri pedestrian? How quickly you forget his potency alongside Nigel Vagana in Canterbury's 17 wins straight not that long ago.

Hazam is not the player he used to be and IMO he stays in 1st grade because of his lethal kicking, the Bulldogs won't upgrade his contract and I read somewhere they have actually downsized his contract thats why he's looking around (I hope he doesn't look in our direction).
And I reckon the reason BK does the kicking is to keep his name in front of the selectors as not only the BEST half-back but as a back up kicker to boot besides who is game enough to take the ball off him and take a kick.

Surely it cant hurt to at least give Merritt a shot at it. I doubt he could do much worse than Kimmorley is at present.
Its definitely something that needs to be looked at asap

Be careful Melstar, with a comment like that you'll have BTR slamming your judgement. Anyone pro Merritt gets the ire from BTR.

If El Masri is available, then we gotta chase him for a contract.

We need a kicker urgently. Kimmorley is a great player but, his kicking prowess...................Just not up to scratch for NRL.

Go Sharkies !!!!

I'm going to have a go at slotting one after the Souths game from where Smith missed last night. If I get it, I'm going to demand that Raper play me at 5/8 in Brisbane.

I cannot recall ever seeing Merritt Kick goals.

Anyone got an explanation as to why we've never seen him kick ? I mean, he can't be worse than Kimmorley.

Did he kick in the lower grades at any time ? Did he ever kick for Souths ?

Do tell

Go you Sharkies

He kicked for Souths in PL last year when we played them at Aussie. Slotted them from everywhere too...

Yep 9 from 9 against our PL side last year. Kicked them from all over the place.

If we are getting out to a big lead and Noddy is missing them, I really hope Merritt get's a kick.

Jimbo, I don't think we could fit you under the salary cap, try the Roosters.

Oh OK, I'll have a look at you on Saturday night. You'll need to beat 67% though. Let's try for 7 out of 10.
