He's all LGBTI+Q but not a great footy player. We need a couple of big angry bodies in the middle.
You reckon those are mutually exclusive? The LGBTI+Q community can get pretty angry.

Edit: just ignore me... this train already left the station..!

Well….****.


Former Sharks coach John Morris came back to haunt his old club at the weekend - and he could be set to inflict even more misery.
As assistant coach of South Sydney, Morris played a key role in constructing the game plan for the Rabbitohs' fine win over Cronulla on Saturday night.
Now he shapes as a vital figure in the battle for rising Sharks backrower Teig Wilton.

At least half a dozen clubs, including premiers Penrith, are believed to be interested in Wilton.

But Morris just happens to be Wilton's uncle and that relationship will give the Rabbitohs a massive edge in the fight for his services.

Cronulla has already begun talks to extend Wilton but with so much interest from rival clubs, the wide-running forward is likely to hold off making a decision anytime soon and bank on his price rising.
The Rabbitohs see Wilton as an ideal runner on the left edge outside Cody Walker and are set to make a big play for the robust forward.

Walker will be 34 at the start of next season, don't think Teig would be running off him for long.

Anyway I think most of us want to keep him but not sure we want to get into a massive bidding war and pay silly money.

And how long is Morris going to stay at the Bunnies for. He’ll put if he’s not already hit hat in the ring for a HC gig elsewhere.

So now no Walker and no Morris at Souths.

I think he’ll stay

I can't imagine him staying, unless our offer is super-competitive, or out of loyalty to team/coach. He was good sticking out his contract, but I reckon his mum and his family would be telling him to treat us the same way we treated John Morris.

I'd be surprised if our offer wasn't competitive - especially if he's comparing against Penrith or Souths. He could probably go to the Dragons or Newcastle for more money, but then he'd had to play for the Dragons or Newcastle.

Teig is a good player, but not a pay overs player.

If he leaves, Talakai takes his spot, we get a specialist centre.

cant see that happening, id say we know wide running second rowers of his calibre and potential are few and far between these days

we'll pay him to stay

We have players who can play centre (Iro, Tracey, Ikuvalu, Atkinson, Hiroti, Mulitalo).
A player to fight Talakai for the edge jersey is what I’d say we need (if they win have option to leave him at centre too)

Teig is at that sweet spot where he isn't quite Origin level yet but is just that tier slightly below. Just looking at who played left edge last week, the only ahead in class would be Kikau and Papali'i imho.
