Im a huge Josh Morris fan, dont care what you think
he had a right to bag us Benny dumped him! anyone would after that he knew theyd win one... dont judge a player by their age...he still is FAR better a centre than Aitken AND laughie put together and if he comes home hell try so hard for us as im sure hes still passionate about Dragons and will try harder and put in more than Laughi for one!

Reynolds ok too, as a back up half only, better than Nichols and Field currently , Id have him here only if Fieldy leaves which I hope he does not and not at the expense of any of our juniors....maybe Sailors going to be a gun FB or Half for us? he needs a chance as does Field, its hard for a kid to shine when the teams so low on moral and the table

Morris/Lomax centre pairing just think about how MUCH better than these 2 idiots we currently have , I love the way Eue tries SO hard, he runs hard he tackles hard but just cant get that defence right.... and Laughi is there for the paycheque only so must go....

nontime111, mate I understand where your coming from however this is where the clubs problems have been for many a year now , in fact too many a year. We continue to buy journeymen , whom when they were younger were good players , but unfortunately their life-span is almost at an end .

The Recruitment department of the joint venture needs to get their head straight and as I have already said on numerous threads plan for our future . Our future lies in the young brigade , not those players running on tired legs . We must follow the lead of every other club in the NRL and promote the promising youth rather than have to tap them on the shoulder and say “ thanks for your time but you can look elsewhere “ .

IMO the Dragons will have nothing to lose by doing just that - putting the up and comers in the top grade next year regardless of what Mary may think , surely the penny must drop eventually , one can only hope that season 2020 is the year .

What a player he was.
Saw Tingha the other day imagine if we had both of them on the wings.

“ My 2 black Porches “ , I believe that was the quote from Roy Masters when asked about his 2 wingers - Ricky Walford and Martin Offiah .

Both fast players , Ricky very skillful and athletic , whilst Offiah was a real speed machine .
Thank goodness that we can still recall when the Dragons were at the top of the tree , during this one of our darkest winters .

That's what I like about this forum people like yourself who lived through the golden era and can recall it which is fantastic. And when people talk about things that you can remember seeing yourself it's just great brings back good memories.

Its not a bad move, we need a decent centre with experience while the youngsters come through, Its only one year, I dont see much out there and no one else willing to sign with us , sad times for while .

FMD I don't know whether to laugh or cry....our recruitment is 5-6 years too late with JMoz!

Considering Brett Morris took off because he could see the disaster that is McIdiot, why would ANYONE truly believe his brother would return to SGI.

This has about the same credibility as the Trent Merrin wanting out of his Leeds contract so he can come back to Wollongong.

Neither have any substance.

Why do people still peddle the line that Wayne Bennett pushed Josh Morris out of SGI?

It’s untrue.

Also, I reckon you’ll find Lomax will be groomed for fullback next year.

I wouldn’t call the year Offiah played for Saints a “golden era” as it missed the semi finals for the sixth straight year.

Sounds familiar?

The final five was in vogue, so much more satisfying than today’s final eight system which rewards mediocrity.

wow I read that in the news thats all about Morris, why did he leave?
dont mind where Lomax plays as long as he gets a better coach so can enjoy playing more, hence getting results

Josh Morris linked with a return and Zac Lomax spotted having meeting with Maguire SO Morris in & Lomax out ???? where are our priorities ?? is beign over 30 the new recruitment policy for Dragons ???
Next it will be Dugan in and Field or Sailor or any other junior out !

I have never as a supporter been so disillusioned as i am right now

What the hell are we doing ??

Lats, Kafusi and Lafai will have a battle on their hands for the slowest in the club. Josh Morris would give them a run for their money too ;-) Still I reckon Potter has the other 4 covered.

The possible return of Josh Morris reeks of a quick fix for a desperate coach trying to save his job.
First step is to get rid of Mary and sign a new coach. If this happens soon, maybe Lomax will stay.
