This is great news for us I hope he boosts us and helps us kick on and gets us out of this relegation fight

needed a prop. hopefully hes a good one

As long as he remembers which way we’re attacking.

Just what we needed. Looks like the fella can do some damage. Fingers crossed it works out

Not an NRL buff but if he hits hard in the tackle and makes metres then I'm delighted.

Here here.

Looks like hes played 4 years at West Tigers and signed at cronulla in 17. Played plenty of games. Should go well. Good age 27.

Already social media rumours in overdrive that's Merrin is deffo deffo not coming back now. Some people just open their mouths (type) and come out with anything.

I thought this might be happening, oddly enough due to the silence after it was first mooted. He has some pedigree at least. Good luck pronouncing his surname though.

“I like the physical side of the game”. Good, that’s exactly what we are missing, let’s hope he becomes another Kylie Leuluai.

Given Ava (can't even type his surname yet, let alone say it), Albert, and assume Crosby to come back and young Holroyd, that's four of our initial prop rotation under real pressure to get a game. Peteru's gone OK as has Oledzki. That puts real pressure on Cuthbertson and Singleton in particular to get in the first 17.
