I don't think the Morris/Wests Tigers deal has been fully played out yet.
It wasn't that long ago when Morris was being considered as our head coach and I think he may have knocked us back so coming to us as an assistant could be a step backwards for him.
The only thing that has changed since then is Benji is at the helm and he and Morris have good history together.
Is this what Morris is seeing?

Or is Morris seeing this?

The Sydney Morning Herald are saying Morris done deal.
(Morris) will join incoming Tigers coach Benji Marshall as his senior assistant on a four-year deal from 2024.
“We are really excited to welcome John and his family back to our club as an assistant coach,” Marshall said in a statement from the Tigers. “His experience, his character and his attention to detail are second to none.



“He is a very good person, a dedicated family man, and we share the same values. I have complete trust in him and know he’ll do a great job for us.”

Wests Tigers is delighted to confirm that former player John Morris will be returning to the club as an assistant coach.

Morris played 300 games over 14 seasons in the NRL including three seasons at Wests Tigers, where he didn’t miss a game.

The former hooker/halfback will join Benji Marshall’s coaching team on a four-year deal at the end of this season.

Morris guided Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks to the finals in his first two seasons as head coach, before joining South Sydney where he’s been an assistant coach for the past two years.

Wests Tigers assistant coach Benji Marshall, who will become head coach in 2024, says Morris will be a great addition to the coaching staff.

“We are really excited to welcome John and his family back to our club as an assistant coach,” said Marshall.

“He is a very good person, a dedicated family man, and we share the same values.

“I have complete trust in him and know he’ll do a great job for us.”

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe is delighted to welcome Morris back to the club.

“John was identified as someone who has been a head coach, knows what it takes to be a head coach, and how much hard work is required,” said Pascoe.

“He will be a welcome addition to the coaching team we have for next season and beyond.

“I welcome John and his family back to the club and look forward to him working closely with Benji and our other assistants.”

John was a thorough professional as a player and he’s taken that same work ethic into his role as a coach....Justin Pascoe

I like it. I think he is the best option. Someone Benji can trust is huge

It's a bit disturbing when one of WT social media programs say something that makes our chairman irate to the point of threatening legal action

He is a lawyer. Him saying see you in court is like the average Joe saying I’ll see you at the pub.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Well why did you start abusing me then?

I don’t get on line and tell you to personally stfu.

That’s pretty nasty, how often can I expect that?

Sorry mate, didn't realize I was being aggressive

And solid as Fk..Just what Benji needs. Especially with Robbie floating around ..(Furner and Robbie had a blow up after the warriors game - see ya later)

Still waiting for him sue the nrl for cows last year and Peter peters.

He threatens suing people every other day and nothing comes of it.

Should rush him straight into the head coach role without delay.

If I recall correctly, Marshall & Morris were partners in a fashion label or something like that, when they were team mates.

Leaks and sabotage: Inside the power play that shook South Sydney

Sam Burgess believes coach Jason Demetriou undermined his tenure at the club because they were at odds on how to handle Cody Walker and Latrell Mitchell.

www.smh.com.au

Burgess thought he had the power of old but he’s a mouse dealing with Demetriou..D may need to tweak things a bit but he wouldn’t be fazed by all that even with Walker having a go at him at training..and he obviously has all the support of the club..Good to see morris felt the same way as Burgess but was able stay in favour unlike hot head Burgess

Yeh I get it FR, I'm just saying that when a Chairman threatens the club's supporters of a social media site what's that say about our club regardless of who's at fault.
I hate this sort of thing played out in the media....makes us look stupid.

It’s just hot air and may give the people it’s directed at a bit of anxiety. Like shitty managers who think threats are better then collaboration.

Agreed but it’s just hot air. Unfortunately it gives the media a beat up story that drags in the masses.

He was obviously joking about driving Moses to work if he signed..Although it prob was a dumb thing to say..They turned that all around like he was serious and they did cross the line, and run with that..So good on him..We just need to start winning..then he can wear a throne for all I care
