Merrin has been class mate imo always one of our best 8/10 most weeks he is an all action work horse who if he was in a top team would stand out as sensational; he is basically carrying our pack right now but he can't do it all himself.
I like Merrin for his quality and he puts a shift in every week. He gives penalties away most weeks which aren’t necessary though, and chips at refs. If he’s going to be captain next year he needs to tidy up IMO. I will say that at least he has some passion for it though.
I also think we won’t see the best of him without some pace and power in that pack, because he’s more of a binder and linker. With more quality around him he’ll have a great time because he has a good offload game and he can play a bit at Leeds.
