With an eye for the future, no doubt. At present though he still has a lot to learn as one would expect for a young kid.
It seems to me as though white dudes get underrated as wingers. Either because they're not flashy enough or don't weigh 105kg.
At present I'd rate Morris, Nightingale and McManus in the top 6-7 wingers in the game easily. At least until those crazy good black fellas like Tupou, Nofo and Lee overtake them!
Absolutely. Morris is an absolute star, McManus and Nightingale are maybe as solid a footballers as you'll find and by solid i mean i dont think either of them are Morris or Uate talented enough to pull out 9/10 games. But every week they give you a good 7.5-8/10... they are guns and teams wouldnt trade them for D. Tupou or Edrick Lee, and fair enough, you can make that case but i think you could make a case to say the roosters with Tupou and the Raiders with Edrick Lee are sitting on two of the most potent wingers in the comp aswell.
Essentially i just think you have the very top 3-4 guys, and you have literally 20 guys in the next bracket who you could rank #5 or #20 depending on what you value at the position.
If it's size and athleticism and game breaking X factor ability, IMO Danial Topou and Edrick Lee is right there in the top 10... if it's shut down defense and metres out of hooker, you end up with McManus. If it's all around good play at every point but you dont need the absolute blow them away x-factor, you can take Nightingale at #5. If it's speed and pure finishing, it's Merritt and David Williams.
You got the two kids from the tigers aswell who are incredible at what they do, and i dont recon the tigers would take many over them either.
(FWIW i have not included RTS in this, he's a fullback, has always been a fullback and im assuming this year will be a fullback, and a very good one at that, i recently remarked in another forum that he'd be the Kiwi fullback over Locke for next years ANZAC test)
