****ing go for it JMo. Keep on going get the record for most games. **** I would love that.

Player who has played the most first grade games is someone who has never played for his state or country, been too copious amounts of clubs, played almost every position on the field and has never been truly rated by many people. Would be ****ing unreal.

Started on the wing didnt he?? With newy?

Brilliant career. Makes u appreciate e.t. Did all that but with origin, international and even a stint in england?

I feel like we're watching a different player. The guy is exactly what you want as a foil for a new young hooker. He is playing better than half the hookers in the comp atleast. I'm not suggesting he be our first choice 9 next year, but if we continue with a bench 9, he should be it.

He's shown more than he use to for us and is clearly ahead of degois these days but within top half of hookers in comp. Couldn't say that
We don't even have a hooker than puts in kicks occasionally

Most outlandish statement I've ever heard on here. Last time I looked we were coming last...even with Morris apparently firing on all cylinders.

Morris is the type of old head that would be handy in the pressure of a finals situation, help to avoid meltdown.

I really don't know whether he has another year in his legs though.

Teammates and coach should know. Whether they'd give an honest appraisal of a mate is another thing.

Just like his tackle of the markers when we had the ball in our semi loss to Manly last year.

Sorry mate, got to completely disagree with you on this one. This is one of the things that annoys me the most about Morris' game, is his brain snaps at vital moments.

Just like his tackle of the markers when we had the ball in our semi loss to Manly last year.

Example A.

That was ****ing unreal. He is a god among men. I have never screamed at the television any louder than that moment.

:Yes:
agree ill forgive him his manly brain explosion, because that tackle allowed us a week to sit back and bask in the sun that was a 1st weeks final win.

That's why it was pretty hard to be mad at him. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't of even played in that game!

In Morris' defence, if he doesn't take out Burher I think it was, then Jamie dives on the ball and we lose possession.

It was something the commentators didn't seem to allude to. They kept screaming "oh my god" and "why did he do that!?" Yet failed to mention that even after Burher was taken out, it still took Gallen a good 2 seconds to get to dummy half.

It was Mat ballin he took out. I don't know about the ball sitting there for two seconds waiting for someone to pick it up. Don't think that was the case. I do know however that I'd bet my house that Matt ballin tackles Gallen if he doesn't get taken out.

Agree. CHOGM who are the hookers you rate Jmo ahead of?
