Brett Morris

[nontime111]

Brett Morris deserves every accolade and reward that come this way.
Was a great servant of our club and gave us all so many great thrills and it is the absence of those thrills that we miss and why some are bitter towards him.
The old chestnut of "pay him FB money when he is only a winger" still rings in my ears.
He was the best winger in the world and did lots more than the ordinary 2 or 5 style winger but our club just couldn't see it's way to recognise that, so he left.
Why should he have stayed, just to keep us happy when we wouldn't do the same for him?
Re best winger ever it is too hard to judge as we have had so many of them but certainly in the top 3 or 4.
King was a great winger as was big Eddie Lumsden (137 tries for St G and only 2 years out of his 11 year career did he not make double figures in a 10 team comp) and of course Slippery, Blacklock, Walford, COF all brought the crowds to their feet with their sheer brilliance.
Just happy to have seen all of them and I recognise each one for their particular contribution to thrill the fans of our club.
PS: Stanley Gorton had a truly memorable year when he topped the try scoring list with 22 tries in 1968 and many of those were a joy to see as well.

Ainscough, Brennan, Sorridimi, Nights, even Ellery for a little while, oh yeah weve had some CLASS on the flanks

I just want to know if im a bitter asshole. I really dont want to see Morris win the GF with the Rorters or for them to win 2 in a row. Am i the only one? I have never got over BMoz leaving. Probably the best winger we have ever had and i mean ever.

We should never have let him go.
Any sentiments after that are pointless.
Even now he is streets ahead of the gaggle of wingers we hang our hat on every week.

Yeah bit of a weak and petty thread. Brett Morris is a club legend. I'm happy to see him doing well. Wish him all the best

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Eddie Lumsden was also a pretty good winger along with Steve Morris.

Mitch Brennan?

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

BMOZ was handy but no Ravawala. I think we have the 2 best wingers in the comp right now. Ravalawa and the other one. Was it Pearson? Or Pereira? Can't remember, it started with a P though.....

Very funny....I've got a stitch.

Speaking of bringing the crowd to their feet.
Martin Offiah was an excitement machine during his short cameo at St. George.

Over the past few years we had promising wingers in Tom Carr, Reuben
Garrick, Jason Gillard and Isaac Thompson but we failed to develop them and bought in Maranta, Pearson and Ravalawa who are all CC plodders.

Yeah I'd be more than happy to see BMoz win another premiership, especially as a bonus that the Storm aren't in the GF! Great winger & gave his best for the Dragons.

I get the sentiment from the OP but I am at a point where Brett Morris can do what he likes and enjoy it... in fact, Tyson can leave and go on to do great things in a Rooster jersey too. What's more, Mary and his lover boy Euan can stay and live out the dwindling light left in their horrible careers by disgracing our jersey just that little more... who cares anymore? We've no power, no voice to contest it. Just powerless dollar signs to the people who pull the trigger. We've already hit rock bottom, and then kept falling further it seems. I'm disgusted with my club. Absolutely cannot believe how the powers that be have allowed the now inevitable extinction of the big red v. The end is nigh.

I am afraid that you are correct about that - the way the J.V. is being mismanaged will surely only give them another 5 years unless enormous changes occur within the boardroom.

However back to the subject at hand, Brett Morris was undoubtedly one of the Dragons best wingers , if not the best in the modern era and would not be out of place in the great Saints teams of the past .

The only one on that list that ever did anything was Garrick. I think the dragons did well in letting the rest go.

 

[Dragon_psa]

He's cool and everything, but he's no Johnny Wilshere or Shane Laloata.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Time to let Morris go, some comments are akin to seeing an ex-girlfriend out with another bloke and stillbwonderjng what it would be if still together.

Let it go!

Good on hjm and his team for making the GF, but there are other players like Lui and (possibly) Havili who use to play for us as well.

I see no-one has started a thread about them.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Brett is playing for the 2 yes 2 clubs his old man played for. His only crime is listening to his bro and joining the Dogs. Sounds like he was rorted like his dad and forced to leave Saints unfortunately you cannot blame him as he did seem pretty bitter. In saying that JMoz and his manager going in his ear and singing the Dogs praises did not help at all, if not made it much worse .

His time at the Dogs was a disaster anyway, injured most of it and played the last season being shopped around. I am sure he will be regretting joining the scum. When he joined the Chooks I was wrapt for him actually. Would love him to walk away with 2 GF's and his brother none.

As for kissing the badge, that showed how bitter he was at the Dragons I feel. Sad as he was a great servant and treated poorly but then again he could have just followed Jason Nightingales shoes and ended up a loyal player who will forever be loved by ALL dragons fans not some.

Tension between Morris and a certain staff member....The club just doesn't get it.

P.S He was always long odds to come back due to this.

 

[Dragon Revival]

I believe that Jason Gillard is still on the CC Roster for 2019 and had a couple of games this year and scored a good try. I would retain
him, Clune and Runciman even at NRL Level.

Well I'm with you, I'm going for the Raiders. However, I wouldn't mind if the Morris Brothers returned for a two year stint. We need to do something about our backline. What do you think about the backline listed below:
1. Norman
2. B Morris
3. Lomax
4. Lafai / Pereira
5. Saab
6. Sailor
7. Hunt

I’d love to have BMoz back but you know what they say once you’ve tasted steggles no more mcgregles.
