because no winger in the history of the nrl has ever cut back in?
if you're telling me Morris stepping back in didn't / wouldn't achieve anything can you explain to me why he did it?

Aye?
He got the ball with Dugan literally inside of Hiroti sliding with him. Morris barely motions inwards and continues to the cornerpost. Hiroti has terrible contact on his opposite and falls off.
What game did you watch?
So again, if it doesn't do anything why did Morris do it? Unless you have a decent answer I'll back Morris to have done it for a reason over your interpretation.
Watch the replay from behind us and watch Morris motion in to freeze Hiroti in place and then brush past him. Yeah not great contact, partially because he ended up flat footed.
Also what is Dugan literally inside of Hiroti meant to mean? If Morris did cut back in Hiroti should just keep heading outwards because Dugan is inside him? Clearly with nobody further outside Hiroti would be expected to adjust if Morris cut back in.
Not saying Hiroti did well by any means just saying Morris did do well, whereas in Tupou one he did the bare minimum and Ronnie still ****ed it up.

It’s an idiotic question. Every winger in the world does that.
Dugan being inside Hiroti means he doesn’t need to bite on the faint. He’s got coverage and subsequently time to shift and join the tackle if Morris commits to turning back inside.
It’s a terrible read on what is a simplistic one on one situation. It’s also got nothing to do with experience. That’s basic wing defence.
Next.
Isn't Hiroti primarily a centre?
Anyway, I think we've confirmed that NRL leading try scorer, 250+ gamer and rep player Morris did something either for some reason (my view) or no reason (your view) and we will just have to agree to disagree.

Hiroti has primarily been a left winger, but has played some right winger and right centre. I’ve never seen him play left centre.
I thought the first Morris try could have been defended a lot better.

It was still a tackle that could be made for sure, I’ve never disagreed with that concept.
I just think Morris actually did something to contribute to Hiroti getting easily beaten but Ronnie somehow beat himself to let Tupou in. Both were stoppable.

Morris merely fainted to go inside. It was a stock standard play and has nothing to do with his experience, or his representative achievements. You’ll see the exact same move pulled at least 20 times in the two games tomorrow.
It was simply just a poor read, poor effort and poor tackle on a stock standard one on one situation when he had it all set up for him to successfully win the situation.
Ronaldo’s one was most definitely abhorrent also.

Had a strong game, but Morris was a bit too canny for him that time.
I think hiroti probably (rightfully) thought he'd have a very hard time stopping Morris one on one even having made a good read, so took his chances to get into a better position and got it wrong.
Believe by rights he should be permanently exiled to Newtown and a replacement signed tomorrow.

You said this exact same thing about Toby. Did you mean both?

Satirical take on our position on players who make an error or two, regardless of the rest of their game. Nothing more old mate

Not picking sides or saying one view is correct over the other but my initial gut feel reaction watching it live was inline with Wilsons in that Hiroti prob shouldn't have got wrong footed and stalled so much by the Morris step (considering Dugan covering inside) and should have made much better contact. I was disappointed in the attempt. Could tell Hiroti was disappointed though and knows he has to do better there.
Regardless Hiroti could become our new Feki
Cheap, good hit ups from our end, surprisingly strong finisher, dodgy hands at times, and bad defense. Capable of doing something surprisingly good or surprisingly strange. He looks alot more comfortable under the high ball than Feki's early days where he was really bad catching the bombs so Hiroti already well ahead in that regard.

I'll be in the minority but I don't see Ronnie as a lock in for a wing spot.
