You still live on the insular peninsula bro? I'd imagine.

The Daily Telegraph provides no educational value.
You're not looking at our options. Brown is a year further away than Lichaa, and cannot play FG this year due to cap stuff anyway. I don't think the coaching staff are even considering it. So you're going to develop Politini then? Or Penani? Or is it Degois?
Basically I flat out disagree with the idea that Lichaa cannot play first grade at a high level this year. I think he could and he would quickly. But the coach has consulted and they're being bitches about it and the coach is listening. It's retarded.
The difference between Degois and Morris is enormous.
You are greatly over rating Morris then. What, because he "shows energy" when he comes on? Please, he is just as ineffective as DeGois. Neither are creative players.

Yes, I hear the bourgeoisie frown upon uncouth Rugby League clubs that refuse to develop players for opposing clubs.
I live in Erskineville, so I may be bourgeoise, although I'm a renter so I doubt it. Anyway the Shire is all tradies with multi million dollar businesses and houses these days isn't it? Ha. No I've got no problem with you slide but Deano called me stupid so I had to get into him.
I do think however that the attitude of some people on this forum to Lichaa's departure is a little blinkered.
Morris has set up tries, scored them himself, made great runs from dummy half, has a kicking game (was it the titans game he kicked for Wright in the corner? Great kick, almost a try), and gives very few penalties. he also appears to lead by example and increase the tempo of the game which is in this day and age a huge part of the 9's job. The attack starts with dummy half.
Do me a highlights reel of Degois last season and this. A few great legs tackles. Roll credits. He was sent to the bench very quickly last year and hasn't started since.
You might want to re-evaluate your evaluation of Morris. Morris has very few try assists in the scheme of things. In 2012 I'm pretty sure he made 0 line breaks. He had a slightly better year last year but was still very, very ineffective. His "great" runs from dummy half result in what? Maybe 10 metres. When he does run he never looks to promote the football like the best Hookers. Don't even talk to me about his "kicking" game. He doesn't have one.
The only weapon Morris has is the trick shot close to the line where he turns it inside to a crash runner. And did you see how he tried it twice to no effect against the dogs late in the game the other night. He should have learned from the first time. Ordinary player who fit's our 20 to 20 scheme and that is all.

So by your thinking if Todd kicks a 40/20 and it gets foiled, then he shouldn't kick another? Hmmm
What you've just done is highlight how bad Degois is. Because the difference between the two is huge.

I reckon the only reason Lichaa got a run was to rattle de gois cage, by being put in reggies. I think that young master Lichaa will see more field time when the big guns come back and De Gois reverts to his sluggish pace. I look forward to seeing Lichaa in the best team we can field , just like so many were calling for all last year.

regardless of whether the gap is big or small, neither of them should be in our first grade side.
happy for john to get his 300 games then join our coaching staff
No the only reason Lichaa got a run was because the club was trying to keep him. Too little too late
LATEMAIL: Sharks v Dragons
Sharks: Gun playmaker Todd Carney has trained strongly this week in preparation for his first game of the season, having shaken off a hamstring injury. Hooker Michael Lichaa has made a well-documented exit from the squad after signing with the Bulldogs and Isaac de Gois has been recalled. Front rower David Fifita will be omitted after being named on an extended bench in the wake of Monday's NRL debut.
Dragons: Expected to be 1–17 for the local derby. Forwards Jack de Belin (cork) and Jack Stockwell (hamstring) are still battling for fitness after being named on an extended bench and will be monitored in a final training session today.

I think it came from the NRL so more of an enforced decision not one the Sharks wanted.
