I'd be more worried if it came from a newspaper and/or a reliable source.
It's from the Sydney Daily Tell-U-Crap.
Guys you gotta stop reading fiction! I did from about age 8.

I've said it before & I'll say it again.

He's gone
I got the heads up from the twins last night
The rub is that Josh is coming to the Dragons at the same time
Both will be on new contracts that get them an extra 150k each

I am not sure how I feel about this idea that Wingers are not worth much money. With the way the game is now played, set plays are the order of the day, and more often than not, a winger is on the receiving end of that set play. Here is a winger who IMO has turned so many half opportunities into points, he has to be worth his weight in gold. Then you look at David Williams' performance in the GF last year, where he had an absolute shocker and turned over possession at crucial moments in the game. If they say wingers don't win you premierships, then I attest that they can certainly lose them for you. Not only that, what about the crucial yards that Morris gains from dummy half to take pressure of the forwards (that win you games)?

100%. Depends on the winger but Morris doesnt just finish he creates tries from nothing and IMO is the best winger in the world and worth his weight in gold. I don't know what money he's on but I hope they repay him for the loyalty and great service he's given the club

I know its a cliche but BMoz is pure winger , he has pace and is good at judging his feet and leaps, and hes not terrible as a fullback, but weve seen enough to know he will never be the answer @1.

In that sense I agree that 600k is too much for a winger, heaps of fast kids out there that would do a decent job for much less.

This was also our problem having so much of our cap tied up in 2 international wingers who cant win games without a forward pack and back line to create their opportunities. Luckily our halves and centres have been competent (not great) and we're finally scoring points.

IMO Morris is worth every penny.

I think of the amount of tries we wouldn't have scored without someone of his speed & athleticism.

He's a freak in every aspect of the game.
Smashes the tough hit ups, pilfers metres every time he carts it up and from dummy half.
Defensively smart and very strong.
I've been around a while and he's definitely in the top 5 wingers I've seen.
If he wants to stay and we can afford him next contract he will repay us with interest.

Morris & Nightingale would be my first pick in any side. You can build sides round good finishers. How many times do you see either score and say how the f*#$k did they get over that line. Both are worth whatever we pay them and then some.

Sure forwards can create play, but you still need someone to get over the line.

At any rate, this is just rubbish speculation. I thought long and hard as to putting something up or letting it die the stupid death this thought deserves. Seriously, It will be a cold day in hell for him to go there in any foreseeable circumstance.

Dont give stupid rothfield the satisfaction or traction on this.

And Brett, if your trolling the forums, tell your loyal fans that the story was not worth wiping your a&s with.

Add Dugan, Boyd and Locke to that list of failed Canterbury fullback signings.

They never went for any of those 3.

Boyd quoting 700-800k they said hell no.

Dugan wasn't passing the dickhead policy.

Locke wasn't wanted or they'd have him from the start.

Folau and Hoffman are the 2 they have missed thus far.

The rest is bs. Along with this B Morris story no doubt. He is a great winger, one of the best. Not a fullback we don't need another winger playing fullback we have Perrett doing that and while making the 8 it isn't a fix.

Also LOL @ people comparing Pritchard to Ah Mau or anyone else in the Dragons pack bar Merrin. He is a walk in to most clubs, people forget how good he is due to the injury. He has been very good for the Dogs and consistent since his time with the Dogs. I wouldn't want to lose Kas & Frank for Morris. Not remotely close. Rona is a good addition and hopefully a fullback will be the end of the upgrades to the backline. Depending on who the fullback is it could be one of the better backlines with JMoz, Lafai, Perrett, Rona, Loko, Stanley, Thompson all around.

Good luck Dragon fans.

Wouldn't stress over this rumour. If it's true and he joins Dogs I reckon it's 2016 for a link with Josh and that's about it. Still don't see it happening.
