Please, saying Josh Morris cant play wing is an insult to him. If he was the Matt Cooper or Jamie Lyon style of center then I would agree that he probably wouldnt adjust to life on the wing. But he can most certainly play on the wing and do it well. Just like Inglis can play center, wing and fullback, so can Josh Morris.

He'd be ok if he was playing outside Inglis against France but he'd be useless against quality opposition.

His defence is poor as a winger as his lateral movement is poor...he can tackle...if the opposition runs straight at him. any good winger can put a move of him and beat him.

He is also terrible at fielding kicks and he struggled on the wing for a while until he moved into the centres...if he was on the wing I wouldn't bother kicking to Hayne I'd just kick to Morris all game and wait for him to make a mistake.

11. Watmough (Right side, however roaming a bit)
12. Creagh ( Left Edge)

Choc sh*ts all over Creagh. Watmough gets the side he wants. Which is the left.


After Creagh's little pansy attack in Origin 3. I would sack him for good.

Choc is a great raomer, he and odonnell suit it great, its got nothing to do with Creagh as an individual or if Choc is better than him, anyways Creagh played left side last series,

Also Creagh fits in better to the left side attack, the morris boys.

Gee that team would be successful:

"Im better than you so i play where i want"

get a clue Dutchy

Assuming the Morris boys make it.

Watmough dominated down the LEFT side in Origin 3. You don't move your arguably best forward for a sub par pansy.

Wrong, Choc actually set up Creagh for the first try, he isolated Lockyer, passed it onto Creagh who only had to run 3 or so metres.

Can't recall the second but I recall it being as equally soft.

Either way, Watmough was the best backrow you had last year. He gets the left hand side and Creagh can sit on the bench.

Eh, that my friends is the result of posting as soon as you wake up (had a late night last night...)

I've got the dvd in front of me right now, so I'll have a look at it for you.

First try.

Ennis scoot from dummy half, finds Watmough 9m out who attracts two defenders including Lockyer and puts Creagh into a huge gap between Lockyer and Hodges.

Second try.

Watmough makes a huge break and Creagh runs from dummy half to score.

There you go.

It shouldn't really be a case of wanting one over another just because they usually play the same side...Creagh is versatile enough to play left, right or up the middle...I'm not sure Watmough's ability to play on the right but he can definitely play on the left and he played up the middle in Origin 3.

I'd rather see Gallen start as opposed to Creagh. Get the Bash Brothers going with him and Bird and really rattle some cages before Creagh comes in and capitilises on their good work.

I might be on my own here but i actually thought kimmorley had a quiet game 3 and barrett controlled it. so in saying that:

1. Hayne
2. B.Morris
3. J. Morris
4. Jennings
5. Lawrence
6. Bird
7. Barrett (c)
8. Poore
9. Farah
10. White
11. Creagh
12. Watmough
13. Gallen/O'Donnell

14. Lewis
15. Galloway
16. TLL
17. Sutton/Mateo/Tupou


im going for a very big team with a 102kg five eighth and a 94kg halfback. one of them would also defend very closely with the right center to mark inglis.

to counter the lack of creativity I'd play Farah as he's alot more creative then Ennis, and also have someone with attacking impact in the 17 who can play through or before the line. sutton or mateo would be perfect, however i thought tupou was great last season and its just a shame he wasnt noticed as he was in a terrible team.

I think the backline combos would work well, both morris boys are quiet big and would work great together. then jennings and lawrence on the other side could create havoc for qld and would swap between themselves.

bailey/kite etc have all been tried and all failed. i thought white was great in game 3 and in general had an awesome year for the storm.

the bench is huge again and all players have strong impact.
