I disagree with you all actually, as a hooker Morris played he best footy at Knights and Parra, he is not a half's *******, but as a hooker I think he goes a lot better. Hughes will not be there next year. and I highly doubt TC will be either, only because his knee is giving him grief.
Unfortunately for Tony, that is a big part why the last 3-4 weeks he has been in & out of the top side. When he plays PL, he only trains 3 times a week and then a game, at not as high intensity, but when he plays with the NRL squad he has to train 5 times or so a week, and his knee blows up, unfortunately a reflection of his HORRIFFIC injury. To add to this he also has a good paying job, that is VERY flexible with his footy committments, and he does not want to jeopardise this part of his life, if his knee is not up to it, and considering Sharks NRL won't invest 100-120k per year to keep him, so he doesn't have to work his other job.
As the De Gois thing above, people should think about the real stories before judging here, De Gois and TC.
As far Morris goes, tell me which other hooker is NRL standard on the market? I know he is not De Gois, but he is better then Hughes, younger and faster. Seu Seu 70% game time and Morris rotation, is not such a bad thing. But I totally agree he is ****house in the halves.
Plus as mentioned on other posts, I doubt Seymour will be a Shark 2010, so that option is thin too.
Unfortuantely guys recruitment has a few things to it, money, availability, and attraction to the players concerned, and ATM we are not an attractive brand.
