Brett Morris - the most likeable player in the NRL era?

[Bring back John Fifita]

I didn’t watch last nights game but when I saw Brett Morris had done an ACL i felt absolutely gutted...

Him and Josh were indeed Dragons juniors and played for the club I love... before both left at varying times... but many seasons ago.

Yet both, but particularity Brett, are still absolutely loved by all the dragons fans I know. And beyond dragons fans.... I don’t know anyone who has a bad word to say about either... (although maybe there are haters that I just haven’t heard about...).

And that’s a remarkable thing considering they’ve played for the Dragons, the Bulldogs, the Sharks and now the Roosters... 4 big-daddies of clubs that are despised by many fans of Rugby League.

For me, my most memorable and respected moment of these two guys wasn’t in a dragons jumper, it was in a blue one. Playing in the 100th State of Origin game where they both suffered horrible injuries but kept going - Josh a knee injury but chasing down Greg Inglis.... Brett a shoulder but staying on the field all game, and making one try saving “ball and all tackle” near the tryline....

Is Brett Morris the most likeable NRL player in the comp?

Further to that, is he the most likeable player in the NRL era?

I truly hope he can come back next year. I have never and will never support the roosters (as much as I respect them) but I will always go for Brett Morris...

 

[perverse]

Right up there for mine. I was more gutted last night seeing him get injured than I was seeing my team get flogged.

Well he's no Justin Hodges.

Only merkins don't love the Moz's

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Most likeable person in history.

 

[JJ]

Nice fella, could just about be a Kiwi

 

[mave]

Has he come out in the media blaming the surface again?

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Shaun Johnson is the most likeable IMO

 

[AnonymousLurker]

What about turbo ?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If Brett is the most likeable what does that make his twin?

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

What about turbo ?

Well for starters he’s not a twin...

But if he was...

 

[Tooooks]

Yeah the twins are likeable. Hearing him screaming out in pain last night was very unpleasant.

 

[Smug Panther]

He's no Isaah Yeo but very likeable especially for the 3 scumf**k clubs he played for

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Sad end to an excitement machine over the past decade and a half.

Third all time on tries scored in NRL over 277 club games + plenty of rep footy and a likeable reputation. Here’s hoping he becomes a good coach and has sprogs half as good as him.

Really gutted for the bloke, really wish he'd played his career out at the Dragons but also happy he found success elsewhere.

Really wish Fox would stick their change room cameras where the sun don't shine showing the post game stuff.

I’m ashamed of Vonny. It was like she was relishing the ‘story’.

 

[Fangs]

Not a Panther so he can't be the most likeable but yes he is a good man.

He and his brother embarrassed plenty of people who said they were done after the Dogs wanted to shaft them. Brett Morris is the best RL winger of the 21st century.

 

[Captain Apollo]

When it happened, it was heart breaking. Yes he is a player for my club presently, but to hear anyone screaming in agony like he was was bad to hear and watch, and if that happened to a player at a club I'm not fond of I'd say that. Injuries may happen, but I hope to never see another player have to go through that.

The anguish and despair on Brett's face in the dressing room after the game will haunt me.

 

[Mark B]

Both twins are up there. I watched the game and that last five minutes were just bizarre. An ACL must be one of the most excruciating injuries pain wise.

I didn't watch after the match last night but I just saw them replay and like seriously why?

 

[Perth Red]

Just confirmed on Fox it is his acl. Such a shame for a great player to have to end it like that.
