Barnetsarries, the rugby paper, the metro, the daily mail and the telegraph all ran an article on the fact that he turned down Saracens to stay at Quins, in November 2016,
That's fair enough but that is solely down to the fact that Itoje and Kruis were with England a lot and Isiekwe was still in the academy and Jim Hamilton was really only our second row and we had to play Rhodes there. Like i said merrick is good, sarries wanting to sign him is more a sign of us struggling for second rows than him being special.
He would not be a starter at sarries and at the moment won't even make the bench. I still contend that he is not much better than Matthews to me if at all. I think theres negligible difference between the two of them
