My take, the club potentially sees Merrett as a necessary stop gap for a year or two while Frost develops.
We may have covered our bases as best possible without him but it's clear Roos is not leaving any stone unturned. Whilst he's a washed up ranga dog I see this as a clear sign that a lot more importance has been placed on our climb. Natural development and broadening our gameplan will see us improve, Merrett isn't key to that but he plugs a hole which otherwise would have been a nuisance and sapped our momentum.
From that pov I'm looking forward to next season.
