Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2490200, member: 1899"] Twiz - Queensland have had their share of injuries. In 2008, Queensland were without Lockyer for the entire series and lost his replacement twenty minutes within the decider. In 2011, JT went off at a crucial time, then last year we had Slater play through a knee injury in the second game and miss the decider. Perhaps if the Maroons were to compare scars with the Blues over the past 7 series the Blues would come up the victors but Queensland haven't had it all their own way. Merritt is an ordinary player. Handy club player but has too many mistakes in him and doesn't really offer anything other than speed and the ability to finish. If that's what NSW want out-wide, they have better options. This line that I see used elsewhere about how he's been robbed of a jersey always makes me laugh. Yes, perhaps a tad unlucky given the likes of Wolfman, Turner, Quinn, McManus etc. were given shots but truth be told, Merritt was never in any better form than them and when the time came for players to put their hands up, Merritt went missing. I thought last Friday's game was a great illustration of Merritt. For all intents and purposes, should have been congratulated for his hard work but he'd find some way to stuff it up. The consolation try specialist of the new millenium (how many 80th minute tries has he scored?), a proud Souths player but not a worthy representative player. [/QUOTE]
