Best decisions ever made

[Slippery Morris]

Poore left the Saints to go to Parra for a few more dollars..............

Baz joined Sharks to WIN a premiership..............

Josh Morris joined SCUM for a run in 1st grade whilst Beau Scott a 2nd rower played centre last season............

Would love to know how they feel now. I was hoping they would interview them before, during or after the game.

 

[dragon_around]

J Morris was forced out, let's be honest.

 

[TiggaPlease]

I'm sure they all feel a little disappointed but when it comes down to it they've had to make decisions and the decision they have made have earned them all extra money.

You can't really expect very much loyalty in professional sport, it's all about the $$$ and I'm sure they'd all be comfortable with the choices they've made.

 

[Wobbygong]

Poore, Baz and Jmoz (all top shelf blokes) are be happy for the club but I am sure Poore especially IS kicking himself, he'll never admit it publicly but I reckon he hasn't enjoyed the move to the West, never really wanted to leave but the manager appaeared to play russian roulette with Wayne and lost.

I hear it really stings Bailey and Ryles as well, I'm so glad Rylsie didn't win otherwise we would never have heard the end of the snide comments from him, about the pressure of expectation bringing the club down blah blah blah.

Not sure if this has been mentioned and I am not sure why they didnt continue making the dragons jerseys (after 2009), but how about Adidas not having their brand on our jerseys the year we finally win it! DOH!!!](*,)

 

[muzby]

yep.. silly move by them, considering they were still under contract...

Technically, Addidas own Reebok. So I'm not sure what happened there

 

[woodley_11]

I still think Josh Morris would have always preferred to stay at the Dragons if we could have given him a run in the centres.

 

[whenthesaintsgomarchingin]

lets not forget how difficult (if not impossible) it would have been to sign Gaz if any one of those three were at the dragons. I know we are paying him less for this year but Gaz wouldn't have come back for half a season so the money in reserve for the next few years was crucial.

 

[DRAGONZ_RULE]

whenthesaints,

To be fair, J Moz would have been signed for nothing, as he was a rookie .. his breakout year was 2009 with the Dogs. The issue was that he saw Coops + Gaz ahead of him, and they were tied up to 2011 and 2012 respectively .. wasn't much he could do.

Unfortunately for both parties, he signed with the Dogs and then Gaz announced he was leaving only a few short weeks later ... worst timing ever.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

I reckon JMoz will be back in the Red V in 2012, but only if Byd leaves. Coops has already stated soehwere he's done after 2011 (in Oz anyway). If Darbs stays, then K Stanley to left centre. If Darbs goes then K Stanley to fullback and JMz to left centre.

Doust said at the Red V forum recently that Adidas wanted to significantly alter the Red V in this year's jersey so the club said see you later.

 

[SEAT 1A]

I think Baz would be kicking himself the most as I may be wrong however, didn't Benny want him. If so, should have listened to Wayne as Cooper did. But it's not worth worrying about the what if's and at least J Moz has time on his side, don't know about Poore due to Merrin, Hunt and Weyman.


On Addidas, a savvy company however, I think they got this one wrong. I think they went for the $$$ up at the Titians instead of the SGI brand. Don't no how important it is from a manufacture's point of view to have an association with the premiers in Australia, as they are a global company however, I think St George bank would be over the moon.

 

[DRAGONZ_RULE]

It was clear as soon as Adidas came in that we were going to have problems ... they put their 'three stripe' design onto everything straight away, and the Red V was shorter ... it was only going to get worse.


The funniest thing - and this is clearly an example of sports design companies not understanding their target market - is that if they went traditional and designed a jersey where the Red Vee was made full length again (with sponsorship in the middle, I guess), they would sell in numbers never before seen in the NRL ..... which Dragons fan would NOT want to buy a jersey where th Red Vee extends almost all the way down to the belly button!!!

 

[Gaba]

you wonder how chase stanley would feel , he went to melbourne thinking he was going to be a chance of playing or being a member of a team in the grand final and winning.

yet it was his younger brother's team got into the grand final and won.

 

[RedVDave]

Don't forget Rylesy! However I refuse to bag Jmoz especially after seeing this.

 

[DRAGONZ_RULE]

The simple fact of the matter is that J Moz currently plays for the Bulldogs ... but he still supports the Dragons.

In all the footage I saw of the dressing rooms, J Moz was over the moon at our victory.

B Moz is still the better Morris, but J Moz will hopefully make a damn fine Dragons player down the line!!

 

[Slippery Morris]

How would the doggies feel about that? Having one of the highest paid players celebrating with the Dragons.

If the Bronco's won and you saw Darius Boyd celebrating with them in the sheds how would your feel?

It shows that Morris is their for the money and that is it.


With the amount of dollars the Scum has spent at the back end of the season I will be suprised if they can afford to re-sign JMoz for another 3 years. Maybe there is already a deal in place between JMoz and Saints hence for the scum to be throwing money around on players.

 

[bmwpower]

J MOZ to be back after cooper retires

 

[Minh]

J MOZ back when Coops retires hopefully, the guy's born to be a Saint, imagine what Bennett could do for him as a player?
